It converts light energy which is abiotic, to glucose, which is consumed by organisms for energy. (It transfers to the appropriate type of energy for biotic organisms)
Answer:
To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies. Each DNA sequence that contains instructions to make a protein is known as a gene.
Explanation:
Answer:
c: the use of energy released from an exergonic reaction to drive an endergonic reaction.
Explanation:
<em>Energy coupling is a process involving two reactions whereby one of the reactions generate energy, and the generated energy is used to drive the other reaction. </em>
A reaction during which energy is generated is referred to as exergonic reaction while one in which energy is consumed is known as endergonic reaction. Hence, energy coupling can also be viewed as a process linking exergonic and endergonic reactions whereby the energy released in the former is used up by the latter.
A good example is illustrated by the light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis during which the ATP and NADPH produced during the light dependent reaction is used to fix carbon dioxide in the light independent reaction.
<em>The correct answer is C.</em>
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Radioactively labelled amino acids will be found in the ribosomes. These are the organelles that are the site of protein synthesis.
Amino acids are taken up into the cytoplasm from the surrounding cell culture medium. Amino acids are then bound to tRNAs (with the enzyme aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases) and taken to the ribosome, where they are assembled into a polypeptide chain by the translation machinery.
