The energy released when sugar molecules are broken down is transferred to bonds in which molecule

1 answer:

8 0

Sugar molecules (i.e. glucose) are broken down into simpler molecules such as pyruvate. Pyruvate, in the presence of oxygen will be converted to Acetyl-CoA and it will enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle wherein it will produce series of reducing compounds such as NADH and FADH. These reducing compounds are then processed in the electron transport chain and oxidized, and the energy released in the oxidation of NADH and FADH is transferred to the high energy phosphate bond of adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

If an animal cell is placed in plain water, It will swell and burst. The bursting of the cell is a result of which biological pr

densk [106]

Answer:

Osmosis is the process of having water pass from a low concentration medium to a high concentration one, given that the barrier (membrane) is semi-permeable.

Explanation

Cells encounter osmosis due to their semi-permeable membranes. Water can flow past cell membranes. A given cell placed into distilled water will have some water flow into it, causing it to burst. A given cell placed in a very concentrated water will have some water flow out of it, causing it to shrivel. A given cell placed in a solution with the same concentration of minerals as the cell will have an equilibrium of water flowing in and out. This is the case of IV (Intravenous therapy) when we want to deliver substances into a human blood. We want to make sure the liquid delivered is as concentrated as the blood to avoid cell shriveling or bursting.

This picture above sums up the 3 cases cells could face in a solution.

Good luck!
