Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles in the cytoplasm in which: a. proteins are deaminated. b. proteins are synthesized. c. proteins are packaged for export. d. energy-rich molecules are broken down, using oxygen, to provide energy for cell activiti ...
Which most accurately describes how plants and animals obtain the energy they need for growth and survival? A. Molecules are broken down during respiration to release stored energy. B. Molecules are broken down during photosynthesis to release stored ene ...
To make it a nice, round ten, I’ll sneak in another 2020 post. This one is all about vitamin D. A lot of people are very critical of supplements, and while I understand their position, this particular case is slightly different. If you live in certain parts of the world, you really...
• Metabolism: sum of all chemical reactions in an organism What are the two types of metabolic pathways? • Two types of metabolic pathways:1. Anabolism:• Assembly of larger molecules from smaller ones • Requires energy (ATP input)2. Catabolism:• Larger molecules are broken down ...
Glucose has a chemical structure which means it can be broken down completely with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water and ATP which supplies the energy needed in the chemical reactions in cells. These sugars are not suitable for long-term storage because they are too c...
A molecule is the smallest unit (particle) of a compound having the physical and chemical properties of that compound. This does not mean that molecules can not be broken down into smaller parts, e.g. the atoms from which they are formed or the fragments of the molecule, each consisting ...
The term hydrophilic can be broken down into two parts. The prefix "hydro" means water and the suffix "philic" means loving. Thus hydrophilic means water-loving. A hydrophilic molecule is a molecule that can mix and interact with water. Some examples of hydrophilic molecules that can be ...
Once in the atmosphere, these aerosolized molecules are likely to be broken down by sunlight into CO2and other molecules that are more palatable to marine life. Accordingly, emphasizes Beaupré , this finding has implications for both oceanic and atmospheric biogeochemistry, as well as the global ca...
What is the molecule that catalyzes reactions of chemical digestion?Fill in the blank: Carbohydrates are broken (digested) into ___.Identify and name the following: An enzyme that is capable of digesting starch.Identify the building blocks and functions of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.Whi...
How are lipids broken down to produce ATP? In the metabolism of glucose, the end product of glycolysis is two molecules of (blank) which cannot be stored. Lipogenesis requires two molecules: acetyl ACP and malonyl ACP. If making a steric acid (18:0) how many malonyl ACP molecul...
