lorasvet [3.4K]

About this much of the energy released from food molecules during catabolism is released as heat: adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

The Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of the energy for the use and the storage at the cellular level. The structure of the ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of the nitrogenous base (adenine), and ribose sugar, and the three serially bonded phosphate groups

ATP is synthesized in the mitochondria is the primary energy source for the important biological functions, such as the muscle contraction, the nerve impulse transmission, and the protein synthesis

In general, the main energy source for the cellular metabolism is the glucose, which is the catabolized in the three subsequent processes—the glycolysis, tricarboxylic and acid cycle (TCA or Krebs

Explain the idea of genetic drift. How does natural selection effect genetic drift.
Anettt [7]

Genetic drift is defined as a shift in the allelic frequency of a population. This can be caused by natural selection which is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals across a population due to differences in phenotype. Natural selection favors particular traits in a population hence these individuals are able to reproduce while the individuals with disadvantageous traits will pass their genes to succeeding generations. This way the allelic frequency of succeeding generation will be diferent from that of the parent population.

The microorganisms benefit by getting their nutrition from the cellulose in guts of their hosts. Whereas, the hosts benefit from the cellulose-digesting microorganisms by getting help in digesting the cellulose they consume in their diet.
