Kisachek [45]3 years ago
7 0

The carbohydrates found in our genetic material are the two sugars deoxyribose and ribose.

Carbohydrates are defined as organic compounds which occur in food and living tissue and include starch, sugars and cellulose. They are composed of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon.

Deoxyribose is a sugar found in the structure of DNA, while the sugar ribose is found in the structure of RNA.

DNA is the molecule that carries the cell's genetic information while RNA is the molecule involved in synthesis of protein using the coded information received from DNA.

Both DNA and RNA are termed as the genetic molecules of life.

Elizabeth is getting ready to run a marathon. She's hoping that the ATP in her body is good for long-term energy storage for the
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Her Thinking is wrong because ATP is not a long term Energy Storage.

Explanation:

We need energy to perform every single task of everyday life. This energy is obtained from the food we eat. There are three main sources of energy in our food.

1. Carbohydrates

2. Lipids

3. Proteins

Carbohydrates are hydrolyzed into glucose upon breakdown and this glucose  is used as energy by most of the cells. While Lipids are more complex molecules and usually used to store energy to be used later. Proteins help in muscle building and provide essential amino acid to the body.

There are two ways to store energy, Long term storage and short term storage. The ATP is obtained by breaking down the large molecules and considered as short term energy as it last for only few seconds. While the long term energy is obtained from lipids hydrolysis.

Describe a chemical and physical change with an example for each
Bad White [126]
A chemical change is a change in which the composition of the matter is changed at the molecular level, most chemical changes are not easily irreversible, for example, an egg being cooked, the egg changes from its liquid like state to a solid, and it is not possible to revert it back to its original change. The egg itself is changed in this case.
A physical change on the other hand however, is only changing the substance of a matter, not its composition, this is usually easily reversible. For example, water turning into ice, the water's substance changed from its liquid state to its solid state, it is still water, and it can easily be turned back into water by heating it.

Sorry for the long explanation,
Hope this helps!

A water-soluble hormone approaches its target cell. Which will happen first? (2 points) The hormone's signal will be transduced
zubka84 [21]
The hormone's signal is transduced through the cytoplasm of the target cell.

"Water-soluble hormones include glycoproteins, catecholamine's, and peptide hormones composed of polypeptides, e.g. thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and insulin. These molecules are not lipid-soluble and therefore cannot diffuse through cell membranes.
