Metabolism is a broad term that includes all chemical reactions that occur within body cells. It includes breaking down substanc

es into simpler building blocks (the process of catabolism), synthesizing more complex cellular structures from simpler substances (anabolism), and using nutrients and oxygen to produce (via cellular respiration) ATP, the energy-rich molecules that power cellular activities.

Answer:

The statement that is false is <u>metabolism is regulated largely by the nervous system.</u>

Explanation:

The metabolism reactions are controlled by the enzymes specific for each metabolic reactions. After a signal is generated, specific enzymes that detect the signal starts up the metabolic reactions.

When there is a need to stop a certain metabolic reaction, then the mechanism of feedback inhibition is used which stops the enzyme from carrying out any further reactions. Hence, the statement that metabolism is regulated largely by the nervous system is false.

The evidence which supports their ar:

1. The same size of the organelles to the bacteria

2. The presence of the circular DNA of the organelles like bacteria  

3. The similarity in the 30s and 70s ribosomal subunits.

Identify two ways in which animals can reduce the intensity of intraspecific competition
MrMuchimi
Intraspecific competition involves an interaction where by members of the same species compete for limited supply of resources. The end result is the reduction in fitness for both individuals. Animals can reduce the intensity of intraspecific competition by exploiting different type of food resources and also moving to other areas that are sparsely populated and with high amounts of food.
