Answer:

i. is broken down to fuel chemical reactions.

ii. is created by chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that produce the energy necessary to carry out the vital functions of living beings. Metabolism can be divided into anabolism and catabolism.

Glucose (C6H12O6) is the energy fuel for cells. When it is broken it releases energy from its chemical bonds and waste. It is this energy that allows the cell to perform its metabolic functions.

Before understanding the processes of obtaining energy, you must know how the energy is stored in the cells until use. This occurs thanks to ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the molecule responsible for the capture and storage of energy. It stores in its phosphate bonds the energy released in the breakdown of glucose. During metabolism, this ATP is broken down to fuel chemical reactions and is also created by chemical reactions.

Discuss the meaning and importance of selective toxicity as it relates to antimicrobials.
Burka [1]
An antimicrobial<span> is an agent that kills microorganisms or inhibits their growth. </span>Antimicrobial <span>medicines can be grouped according to the microorganisms they act primarily against. For example, antibiotics are used against bacteria and antifungals are used against fungi.
</span>
Selective toxicity<span> refers to the ability of the drug to targets sites that are relative specific to the microorganism responsible for infection. Sometimes these sites are unique to the microorganism or simply more essential to survival of the microorganism than to the host.

Selective theory relates to antimicrobial because the antimicrobial is the drug that kills microorganisms and inhibits there growth,  selective theory is the ability of the drug.

Differentiate bet prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
masha68 [24]
There are differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. This difference is considered to be the most important distinction between groups of organisms. A Prokaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus. It only contains one chromosome and is a single-celled organism. It was the only form of life on earth for millions of years. Examples of a Prokaryotic cell are the different types of bacteria present today. 
A Eukaryotic cell contains a nucleus; more than one chromosome and is typically a multi-celled organism.  <span>Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells.</span>
