The answer is kinetic energy. This is true because the definition of kinetic energy is "energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion".

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Well, you already have the answer, but I can try to elaborate XD

So, DNA: contains genetic information that is necessary for biological functioning and reproduction.

More specifically, it contains the genetic instructions through gene encoding that instructs the cell what to do. A specialized complex ribosome interacts with the DNA molecules and "reads" it, changing the genes from the DNA into proteins that the cell as a whole can function upon. It is also crucial to forming a whole cell in offspring, since only the genes from the two parents combined (in humans at least) can produce an offspring with all genes intact. Those who do not have genetic disorders, a famous one being Down Syndrome.

Next, RNA: a molecule necessary for expressing genes and making proteins.

Connecting to the paragraph above for DNA, RNA also assists in the process by reading the ribosome that reads the DNA itself. Complicated, I know. All you have to know, however, is that the RNA, in this case called mRNA since it serves as a messenger, hence, the "m", reads the codons produced by the ribosome when it reads the DNA, and makes proteins according to those codons, and those proteins then scatter all across the cell to execute instructions.

Now, we move onto nitrogen and phosphorous: both are found in amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.

That is actually partially wrong. Amino acids do not contain phosphorous, but do contain nitrogen. Not exactly sure what went wrong on your end there, but nitrogen is a basic building block for amino acids, which are basic building blocks themselves for proteins. To be more clear, amino acids are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms. No phosphorus there!

Finally, enzymes: special proteins that accelerate chemical reactions in cells.

This is correct. Enzymes typically lower the activation energy required for reactions to happen. More specifically, enzymes make the reaction molecules more active, hence, lowering the threshold for the amount of energy you have to put in before the molecules start crashing into each other hard enough to have a chemical reaction. Of course, enzymes do not participate in the reaction itself, which makes them incredibly useful for spurring on chemical reactions since they can be used multiple times.

Explanation:

Hope this helped!

What is the relationship between food intake and physical activity?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Because we can't take in light energy directly, we consume plants. Plants convert light energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. So when we eat plants, we get the chemical energy stored in the carbohydrates, which fuels all our physical activity.

zmey [24]

Answer:

The main role of inorganic compound in microbes is the generation of energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP) that is required for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms.

Explanation:

Inorganic compound are those in which carbon atom is absent. Many microorganisms especially bacteria, use inorganic compound such as ammonia, hydrogen, ferrous and sulfur etc for the production of energy that is used in different processes and activities such as reproduction and growth.
