Answer: In respiration, glucose is broken down to produce energy that can be used by the cell, a reaction that uses O 2 and produces CO 2 as a byproduct.

Answer:
The correct answer is 2. "the child needs these pancreatic enzymes to help the digestive system absorb fats, carbohydrates, and proteins".
Explanation:
90% of patients with cystic fibrosis get the pancreatic enzymes supplement because of their pancreatic insufficiency. These enzymes are released in the intestine and help to digest food.
The enzymes´ principal functions are:
- To digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats;
- To help to gain weight;
- To promote the absorption of nutrients.
To get an appropriate corporal weight and an improved lungs´ functioning it is important to take the enzyme supplement with every meal. It reduces bad absorption and improves nutrition.
Answer:
C. K+ ions flow out the the guard cells and water flows out the cells.
Explanation:
The turgidity of the guard cells allows the opening and closing of the stomata. This is especially necessary when it comes to water conservation in plants. In order for the cells to become turgid or flaccid, there must be the influx and out ward movement of water via osmosis.
In order for this the occur the osmotic pressure of the cellular environment must change and this is done by changing the solute concentration.
The pumping in of K+ ions out the cell allows the solute concentration to decrease and this in turn encourages the movement of water across a concentration gradient through a semi-permiable membrane.
The water leaves the guard cells and they become flaccid. This causes the stomata to be covered.
Answer:
All organisms require sulfur as a macro-nutrient. (Ans. E)
Explanation:
Sulfur is necessary for all living things. It is taken up in the form of sulfate from the soil and sea water by the plants, and algae.
Sulfur is known as the essential nutrient for plant growth. Sulfur playing various important role in plants. About 90% of the sulfur is absorbed by the plants for the purpose of amino acids synthesis, known as the building blocks of proteins. Sulfur is important for the enzyme which is helping in the formation of the chlorophyll molecule. Sulfur is essential for the synthesis of oil crops.
In human body sulfur playing some essential role such as amino acid production which is converting into proteins and producing enzymes. Sulfur is important for insulin production, insulin allow the cells to use glucose as energy. Sulfur is found in most important antioxidant known as glutathione, which helping in the inhibition of oxidation of the other molecules and preventing from cell damage. Collagen provide skin strength and structure, sulfur is important for collagen synthesis as well.
Answer:
Microfilaments, Intermediate filaments and microtubules
Explanation:
Three distinct elements make up the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells are:
1. Microfilaments or actin filaments which are composed of actin proteins. The functions of those filaments are: muscle contraction (myosin heads move “walk” on actin filaments), the movement of the cell, intracellular transport, maintaince of the cell shape..
2. Intermediate filaments which can be made of vimentins, keratin, lamin, desmin… Their functions are: the maintenance of cell shape, anchoring organelles, structural components of the nuclear lamina, cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions…
3. Microtubules are filaments polymers of alpha and beta tubulin. Their roles are in intracellular transport (associated with motor protein dyneins and kinesins), formation of the axoneme of cilia and flagella, formation of the mitotic spindle.
