Although many biochemical reactions occur within our bodies all the time, the one that occurs inside our cells and is responsible for giving us energy is probably the most important of all. The reactants involved in this reaction are mainly sugars, carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and since i...
In agro-ecosystem, plant pathogens hamper food quality, crop yield, and global food security. Manipulation of naturally occurring defense mechanisms in hos
Can proteins be used to produce ATP in animals? If so, how? Animals store energy in which type of carbohydrate? a. glycogen b. sucrose c. cellulose d. chitin e. starch Where do plants obtain the carbon they use to build carbohydrates? What are the catabolic products of carbohydrates? Whi...
Fruits and vegetables are not only rich in carbohydrates, but also other bioactive compounds that come from plant pigments. The carrot gets its red color from the pigment beta-carotene, which is made by the plants using glucose as energy. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A in our bodie...
There are alsocomplex carbohydrates, commonly known as "starches." A complex carbohydrate is made up of chains of glucose molecules.Starchesare the way plants store energy -- plants produce glucose and chain the glucose molecules together to form starch. Most grains (wheat, corn, oats, rice) ...
Other organic compounds that may inhibit or promote various species include amino acids, carbohydrates, and fatty acids.Although it is suspected that these organic metabolites may have an important role in species succession and it has been demonstrated in the laboratory that phytoplankton species vary...
How do cells capture the energy released by cellular respiration? A. They produce glucose B. The energy is coupled to oxygen C. They produce ATP Describe the energy conversion that takes place in photosynthesis. How do plants use the products of photosynthesis?
Animals convert carbohydrates into glucose, which is then transformed into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main energy currency of cells. This conversion process, known as cellular respiration, occurs in the mitochondria of cells and is essential for sustaining life. ...
Set eggplants in the garden 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost in spring when the soil has reached 60°F. Start seed indoors 8 weeks before setting plants in the garden; use bottom heat to keep starts at 80°F until they are established. Do not rush setting eggplants in the garden;...
When you consciously adjust your approach to the way you eat in this way, you'll quickly find that carb cravings will become a thing of the past. Plus, you'll feel great, you'll be less hungry, you'll be less prone to inflammation and disease, and you'll have more energy than you...
