Cellular respiration is the process by which living organisms convert their chemical energy from nutrients into ATP. Cellular respiration is one of the major ways by which living organisms release chemical energy to drive chemical activities. Cellular respiration cause loss in dry weight. This is because, during cellular respiration there is release of energy from the living organism, carbon dioxide and oxygen are also exchanged. The energy that has to be spent during respiration is responsible for the loss in mass in living organisms.

<span>Cellular respiration involves the breaking down of organic fuels such as glucose. This process uses an electron transport chain, and the harvesting of energy from fats, amino acids, glucose and other organic molecules takes away from the mass of the organism. So as more energy is produced, will mass loss occurs as the process of conversion continues.</span>

Which of these statements about eicosanoid synthesis is true?

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

A) An early step in the path to thromboxanes is blocked by ibuprofen.

Explanation:

Eicosanoids are signaling molecules that are produced by oxidation of arachidonic acid or other twenty-carbon essential fatty acid. Eicosanoids are involved in immune responses: they inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever, they also regulate pregnancy, childbirth, control cell growth..

Synthesis of prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane (subfamilies of eicosanoids) is inhibited by aspirin and some anti-Inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen.

A train travels 50 km/h south for 2 hours. Then the train

Virty [35]

The train traveled 100km (50x2) down and then 375km (75x5) up. So the train is 275km (375-100) up from where it started.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Similarities between Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

Both mitochondria and chloroplast consists of DNA , have two membranes, have fluids inside them and convert energy.

Difference between Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

They have different number of compartments, have different functions, and are involved in different energy processes.

Explanation:

Difference in Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

a) Chloroplast is found in plants and unicellular organism and Mitochondria is found all cells.

b) Chloroplast converts solar energy into chemical energy while Mitochondria converts one form of chemical energy into other form of chemical energy

c) Chloroplast is involved in photosynthesis while mitochondria is involved in cellular respiration.

d) Chloroplast has three parts i) Thylakoid ii) stroma and iii) granum while mitochondria has three parts i) Critsa ii) Matrix

Why is palmitic acid called a saturated fatty acid?

Sholpan [36]

Palmitic acid is considered a saturated fatty acid since it has no double bond in its structure and is solid at room temperature. It is a long-chain fatty acid with 16-Carbon backbone. It is typically found in fats and waxes such as olive oil and palm oil.
