Why does food need to be digested?

Biology
2 answers:
Digiron [165]3 years ago
6 0
Food is digested, or broken down, so that the nutrients can be extracted for use by the body as it passes through the digestive system. If food wasn't digested you would not have energy required to run vital chemical reactions and eventually resulting death

Food has to be digested into smaller component nutrients that are then absorbed and used throughout your body. Calories in food provide your body with the energy it needs to complete vital processes such as cellular maintenance and reproduction, and respiration. also you might get fat and you die

Where is ATP made in the chloroplast? What other activated carrier is produced in the space?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The correct answer will be -

1. ATP production- Thylakoid membrane

2. Activated carrier- NADPH.

Explanation:

The photosynthesis reactions take place in the chloroplast which is divided into three membranes: outer, inner and thylakoid membrane. The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane which helps in the production of ATP molecules along with the activated carrier molecule called NADPH.  

The ATP molecule is synthesized by the ATP synthase enzyme located in the thylakoid membrane where electron transport chain produces a gradient of protons. These protons help in the production of ATP synthesis explained through the chemi-osmotic model.

Thus, the Thylakoid membrane and the NADPH are the correct answer.

How does photosynthesis help to maintain the percentage of oxygen and  
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Humans release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere through cellular respiration. This CO2 is used by plants during photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants release oxygen (O2) into the atmosphere. The oxygen is used by animals in order to carry out cellular respiration.

Explanation:

I put all I know into that so it should be right but if it isn't then I'm sorry

Explain how cell signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes demonstrate conservation of major features over time
svetoff [14.1K]

Cellular structures and lifestyles are much diversified. In spite of these differences, the same basic molecular mechanisms govern the lives of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes,<span> the general classes of proteins involved in signal transduction are conserved all over living cell. This is manifested through the re-used of protein receptors, protein kinases,<span> phosphoprotein phosphates, and ion channel receptors.</span></span>
