How do we know that carbohydrate,protein and lipids are essential for life?

Biology
1 answer:
Zina [86]3 years ago
3 0

Answer AND Explanation:

A variety of organic and inorganic compounds serve very important roles in living things. The various organic compounds constitute the structures of the body and regulate the chemical processes going on inside it.

Carbohydrates are essential for life since they are oxidised during respiration to release energy. Glucose is the most common respiratory substrate. They are also building blocks of polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose in plants and glycogen in animals.

Lipids are important because they can be oxidized during respiration to release energy. They provide twice the amount of energy for the same weight of carbohydrates. They also act as insulators, source of metabolic water and are major components of cell membranes.

Proteins are important structural components of the cytoplasm and various supportive tissues in the body, transport substances, make up hormones and are used as a source of energy through respiration.

Why is the rate of cell division in children shorter than in adults?
Nady [450]
Virchow was correct when he concluded that cells arise from others cells, i.e., new cells are born through the division of one cell into two through the process of mitosis. The need for new cells continues throughout our lives, but it is greatest in early life. A fertilized egg divides into two cells, which give rise to four, and those give rise to eight, and then to 16, and 32, and 64, and so on. In a fully grown adult, of course, the rate of cell proliferation is much less, and under normal circumstances, cell division in an adult takes place only when signals indicate the need to replace cells that have been lost, damaged, or worn out. Basically when your young so is your cell and ask you get older they get stronger

Does Every type of cellular respiration requires oxygen.
andre [41]

Answer:

Common mistakes and misconceptions. Anaerobic respiration is a normal part of cellular respiration. Glycolysis, which is the first step in all types of cellular respiration is anaerobic and does not require oxygen. However, if oxygen is not present, some organisms can undergo fermentation to continually produce ATP.

Please, Please help! ​
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

c) Because enzymes are proteins, they have a very specific order of amino acids that make up their structure (including the active site), meaning that only one key can fit in. The active site, or "lock" will recognise the substrate or "key" and will only let that one in and therefore can only catalyse a specific reaction.

b)  the transcription process delivers information from the DNA to the protein-building machines.

Explanation:

I'm sorry I could only these question, I don't understand 3 a) question, hope this helps!

Through what protein can water cross the cell membrane
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

(b) Carrier proteins are more selective, often only allowing one particular type of molecule to cross. A specialized example of facilitated transport is water moving across the cell membrane of all cells, through protein channels known as aquaporins.
