Some desert beetles can live without ever drinking liquid water. They survive on "metabolic water," which is water formed during
the electron transport chain. is water formed during glycolysis. is water obtained from eating other organisms. is water that was stored in the beetle's tissue during its larval stage. is water absorbed directly from the atmosphere.
Metabolic water is a water obtained from eating other organisms.
Explanation:
Water is a by product that is gained in the process of cellular respiration. In respiration process, food molecules are broken down in the mitochondria of the cell for generating energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP). With this ATP, water and carbondioxide is also produced. Carbondioxide is removed from the body while water is used in different processes. So desert beetle takes water from eating food substances.
