Answer:

C. Carbon provides structure and ethics the function of a cell

Explanation:

Carbon is the element that forms the skeletal structure of all the organic biological compounds in the cells. Basically, the vast majority of essential molecules for the cell are composed of carbon. When Carbon is combined with other molecules like oxygen, hydrogen, Cabon forms essential compounds  for the maintenance of life, including sugars, alcohols, fats, aromatic esters, carotenoids etc. In fact the carbon composes the cell itself since it forms the basic structures of the cell membrane: Cholesterol, Phospholipids, Carbohydrates.

I would say that answer choice C is the best out of this selection. Carbon is the main element in organic compounds, and organic compounds just so happen to make up the cells that carry out life processes for all living things. Hope this helps.

Charles Darwin also was the first biologist to propose the use of the phylogenetic tree or the evolutionary tree. The phylogenetic tree illustrates how organisms are related, usually by traits. It also represents how organisms are related by common ancestors.  Other scientists refer to the phylogenetic tree or parts of the tree as a cladogram. 

Attached is an example of a simplified phylogenetic tree.

How are energy inputs and outputs related to chemical reactions
GREYUIT [131]

The large number of areas covered by the chemical energetics can be explained by the different forms in which chemical energy can be released: heat and combustion work, electrical energy in electrochemistry, radiant energy in chemiluminescent systems.

The chemical energy provided by a reaction reflects the energy balance associated with the electronic modifications suffered by the species involved.

From an energy point of view, a chemical reaction between molecules can be schematized in two stages. The first requires a supply of energy and corresponds to the rupture of the bonds of the reactant molecules with release of the atoms which constitute them.

The second releases energy and concerns the creation, by recombination of these atoms, of new bonds entering the structure of the reaction molecules.

As a general rule, the energy released in the second stage is greater than the first. We are talking about exothermic reaction. The difference between these two energies (reaction enthalpy) measures the amount of chemical energy transferred to the external environment.

It is conceivable that this quantity translates, not only the number, but also the strength of the connections involved.
