1) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is thought of as the "molecular currency" for energy transfer within the cell. Function: ATPs are used as the main energy source for metabolic functions. They are consumed by energy-requiring (endothermic) processes and produced by energy-releasing (exothermic) processes in the cell and Cells store energy in the form of ATP; cells make 36 ATP through cellular respiration.
2) Energy is normally stored long term as carbohydrate, in plants the storage polymer is starch whereas in animals the storage polymer is glycogen. Both of these are formed from the monomer alpha-glucose (C6H12O6). When energy is required by the cell, storage polymers are hydrolysed to yield glucose molecules, which are the starting point of respiration, a series of chemical regions yielding ATP, the universal cellular energy release molecule.
I think it's when glycogen turns glycogen into glucose and vice versa. Not too sure though.
Ans.
Diffusion, osmosis, and active transport are mechanism of cellular transport that involves movement of molecules through plasma membrane. Diffusion shows movement of small, hydrophobic particles without the help of protein molecules through cell membrane along the concentration gradient.
Osmosis involves movement of water molecules against concentration gradient (from an area of high solvent concentration to an area of low solvent concentration) through cell membrane.
Active transport shows movement of particles, against the concentration gradient, means from a region of higher to lower concentration of molecules through cell membrane. It involves transport through membrane proteins.
Thus, the part of cell, which is affected by the movement of molecules through osmosis, diffusion, and active transport is cell membrane or plasma membrane.
Food preparation is the process that involves planning and preparing of meals. The food prep (preparation) list is a sheet that contains information of ingredients and the amount of each of the ingredients required when preparing a particular dish. The food prep list is part of a recipe which makes the kitchen much more organized and prevents wastage and excessive use of ingredients.
Water and sodium ions are reabsorbed in the proximal tubule in a relationship that results in a decrease in tubular fluid volume that is isotonic to plasma.
<h3>What do you mean by Proximal tubule?</h3>
A Proximal tubule may be defined as the portion of the nephron that lies in between Bowman's capsule and the loop of Henle.
The major function of the proximal tubule is to reabsorption of sugar, sodium, chloride ions, and water from the glomerular filtrate. It decreases the volume of tubular fluid.
Therefore, water and sodium ions are reabsorbed in the proximal tubule in a relationship that results in a decrease in tubular fluid volume that is isotonic to plasma.
