During cellular respiration, which is a part of metabolism, one molecule of glucose produces a maximum yield of 38 molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the energy form that cells use to function and has also been often called the "currency" of the cells.

The whole process begins with breakdown of food by the digestive system right down to their monomer units. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is carried by blood to all cells of the body.

Each cell takes in glucose and breaks it down through the respiration process that begins with glycolysis in the cytoplasm which yields 2 ATP molecules, then onward into the mitochondria of the cell where Krebs cycle and electron transport chain processes generate 34 to 36 more molecules of ATP.

You can infer that the birds once had a common ancestor but became separated. Mutations in copying their genes stacked and caused changes in the beaks so the birds could be more well off or better adapted in their new environment.

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis is complex. Sunlight energy is converted into chemical energy by using chlorophyll, which is what gives plants their green color. Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light and uses the energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose then releases the unused components such as oxygen.

Regulatory proteins typically contain sites that can bind to other proteins or small molecules. Through such binding interaction

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Regulatory sites e.g enhancers and silencers

Explanation:

Gene expression involves the synthesis of gene products usually proteins and RNA. However, a certain product might not be needed at all or in small quantity. Gene regulation mechanism is the process that makes this happen. Gene regulation is the mechanism that acts to induce or repress the expression of a gene.

Gene regulation involves controlling the rate and manner of gene expression which is achieved through a set of regulatory proteins called transcription factors. Transcription factors bind to specific regulatory nucleotide sequences and help to turn "on or off" specific genes in the DNA.

Transcription factors can either be ACTIVATORS or REPRESSORS depending on whether they boost or inhibit gene expression. The binding sites for these regulatory proteins called TRANSCRIPTION factors are the regulatory nucleotide sequences on the DNA called enhancers and silencers.

What does RNA do?

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The RNA carries out these instructions; it copies and transfers the genetic code from the DNA to ensure the relevant proteins are made. So just think of it as “DNA makes RNA make proteins”. Whereas DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.

Explanation:

Nooooo! Please, don't feel that way. I'm sorry you have to go through something like that. If you want someone to talk to everyday and tell me about your day then you can always talk to me or add me! Just know that I'm always here to love you, and support and care for you!
