Molecules in food contains chemical energy that cells use to produce MORE CELLS. This energy is gotten from the chemical bond energy in food molecules, which in this way serve as fuel for cells. The particles in food additionally give the atoms that animals need to develop new living matter.
Each cell expresses, or turns on, only a fraction of its genes. The rest of the genes are repressed, or turned off.
The turned on genes are then first transcribed into messenger RNA by the process of Transcription.
Then the mRNA is Translated into protein by the process called Translation.
This is how the specific genes are expressed.
The nucleus controls what happens within the cell
Answer:
B. At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?
Explanation:
Organelles are specific in their functioning and hence, each organelle contributes its own quota to the cell's proper functioning. According to the question, a muscle tissue is being worked on to determine the effect of a missing or damaged organelle on its cell.
Mitochondria are organelles found in all eukaryotic living cells. They are the organelles responsible for the synthesis of ATP (energy) used by the cell as a result of the glucose that gets converted in them during cellular respiration.
Therefore, to determine if the muscle cells are functioning properly, the question that: At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell? should be asked.
Note that, Chloroplast and cell wall are not found in muscle cells, which is an animal cell. Likewise, ribosomes are not organelles for synthesis of glucose.
