Answer: E =15

Explanation:

Basically, 1 molecule of glucose  molecule after substrate level phosphorylation in glycolysis gives 2 molecules of 3 carbon compounds called pyruvate, for complete oxdation .

                           1 GLUCOSE molecule       ⇒ 2Pyruvates.

Each pyruvate molecule can produce  15 ATPs .( in citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation),.Since 30ATPs were produced,;each pyruvate molecule  must have contributed 15 ATPs each for a total of 30ATPs

Two main ingredients in plant fertilizer are phosphorus and nitrogen. these elements are found in which classes of biomolecues?
masya89 [10]

<u>Nucleic Acid, and Protein</u> are the class of biomolecule which are the two main ingredients in plant fertilizer.

Biomolecules- A chemical substance that is present in living things is called a biomolecule. These consist mostly of substances with the chemical elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. The building blocks of life, biomolecules serve crucial roles in all living things.

Fertilizer- Any product or material given to soil to encourage plant development is referred to as fertilizer. There are many different types of fertilizers, and the majority of them include potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen (N) (K). In actuality, the package of fertilizers bought in supermarkets lists the N-P-K ratio.

Cells need to bring in molecules to carry out cellular processes. Often, this requires moving the molecules across the cell memb
aniked [119]

Answer:

B (active transport using ATP)

Explanation:

Movement of substances normally occur in the direction of concentration gradient/difference i.e. the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane. Letting molecules diffuse or pass down their concentration gradient does not require energy but pumping those molecules against gradient requires energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is called Active transport.

In order to perform certain cellular processes, cells need to move substances from their surroundings into the cell across their cell membrane. Moving this substances against the concentration gradient between the cell membrane and its extracellular fluid requires energy (ATP).

An example is the sodium-pottasium pump employed by animal cells in which they expend energy to move K+ molecules into the cell and Na+ molecules outside the cell against the concentration gradient of their cell membrane and extracellular solution.

The OH on the lower right of lysine and the H on the lower left of valine combine to form a molecule of water (H2O) and detach in a process known as a dehydration reaction when the two amino acids bond. The C on the right side of lysine then single bonds with the N on the left side of valine. This bond is termed a peptide bond. All the other bonds remain unchanged.
