Light reaches organisms in the photic zone, where microscopic Phytoplankton and multicellular algae provide food for the animal community. Light levels in aphotic zone are too low to support photosynthesis. The seafloor is called the Benthic realm. Fishes and marine mammals swim in open water known as the Pelagic realm. A distinctive Biome called an Estuary is found where a freshwater stream or river merges with the ocean.

Photic zone is the surface layer of the ocean that receives sunlight, which means it permits photosynthesis by plants and phytoplankton. In aphotic zone , there is no light, therefore the phytoplankton and algae can not grow and undertake photosynthesis, the carbon dioxide is accumulated, there is less Oxygen and the pH is lower than in the photic zone.

<span>Cells responsible of making energy and performing respiration within the cell. Depending on what type of organism they are found at, they can be known as Mitochondria, if they are in animals; and if they are in plants, Chloroplasts.
Mitochondria create energy for the cell by breaking down sugars, fats, and other fuels consumed by the cell.
Chloroplasts, on the other hand, since they are found at plants, convert sunlight into energy.</span>

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

True. You can get vitamin A as "preformed vitamin A" which is already active and/or you can get vitamin A as carotenoids which the body can turn into active vitamin A.

Explanation:

There are two different types of vitamin A that can be obtained from food:

1.  Preformed vitamin A, which is already active, is found in animal products such as beef, fish, poultry and dairy products.

2. Provitamin A, which is the inactive form, is found in plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables. The most common type of provitamin A is β-carotene, which is a carotenoid that the body can turn into active vitamin A via an enzyme named β-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase.

Why or how are calories "wasted" during gluconeogenesis?
ira [324]

luconeogenesis is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms.[2] In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys. In ruminants, this tends to be a continuous process.[3] In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. The process is highly endergonic until it is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP, effectively making the process exergonic. For example, the pathway leading from pyruvate to glucose-6-phosphate requires 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP to proceed spontaneously. Gluconeogenesis is often associated with ketosis. Gluconeogenesis is also a target of therapy for type 2 diabetes, such as the antidiabetic drug, metformin, which inhibits glucose formation and stimulates glucose uptake by cells.[4] In ruminants, because dietary carbohydrates tend to be metabolized by rumen organisms, gluconeogenesis occurs regardless of fasting, low-carbohydrate diets, exercise, etc.[5]
