Make an inference about what happens to the matter and energy during the formation and breakdown of a complex carbohydrate molec

ule? When is energy stored or released?
Biology
1 answer:
Semenov [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The breakdown of carbohydrates in the cell during cellular respiration does not change the matter or energy in the molecule. Actually, the matter in the energy molecule, which is the number of atoms and molecule, remains the same and are only transferred to make other molecules (remember that in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms on the reactants side must balance with those of the products). The energy in the bonds of the molecule, as they are broken down by metabolic enzymes, are what is transferred to ATPs. This process is not efficient as most energy is lost as heat. The energy in the ATPs is used in catabolic process like the formation of carbohydrates in the Calvin cycle of plants. Catabolic processes reduce entropy - & increase Gibbs free energy - hence require energy.

Ultimately, no energy or matter is destroyed or made, it is only transferred, hence observing the first law of thermodynamics.

Energy in the body is stored through glycogenesis where glycogen is formed from excess glucose and stored in tissues. When energy is required, this glycogen is broken down back to glucose through glycogenolysis and it can be used in cellular respiration.

How many rounds of dna replication are there in a meiotic cell cycle?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Two rounds

Explanation:

Meiosis is characterized by one round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division, resulting in haploid germ cells. Crossing-over of DNA results in genetic exchange of genes between maternal and paternal DNA.

Animals can be engineered to require less food, grow quicker, and leave behind less evironmentally damaging waste.
-Animals can be engineered to be more resistant to harmful and painful diseases.
-Animals can be engineered to produce more omega-3 fatty acids, to provide leaner meat, and to make more milk.
-Animals can be engineered so their tissues, organs, and cells can be transplanted into humans.
-Animals can be engineered to produce certain substances that offer a new source of medicine.
-Animals can be engineered to reproduce much faster.

negative impacts.

It is unethical.
-Some food companies have refused to use meat or milk that is from genetically engineered animals.
-Some consumers are complaining that the animal drug rules do not regulate genetically modified animals properly.
-This process is potentially dangerous and can be very harmful.
-When engineering animals the natural ecosystem can be disturbed.
-Some animals die in experiments while other are born deformed or huge.
-Animals may live in odd comditions that are affect their natural way of life.
-Most injected eggs do not end up creating a living animal.

Which of the following examples is a function of your circadian rhythm?
borishaifa [10]

<em>A circadian rhythm /sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/ is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria.</em>
