Which process that occurs in living organisms is SIMILAR to the burning of fossil fuels?

Biology

Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
7 0
The answer is respiration.

The burning of fossil fuels is known as combustion. It is often compared with cellular respiration.
The general equation of cellular respiration is:
glucose + oxygen → <span>water + carbon dioxide
</span>
The general equation of combustion is:
fuel + oxygen → <span>water + carbon dioxide

Both reactions involve breaking down of large molecules (glucose and fuel) using oxygen into water and carbon dioxide. In both reactions, chemical energy is transformed into more useful form.</span>

The process of molecules moving across a membrane from high to low concentration using specific membrane proteins, but without e
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The correct answer is- facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

In facilitated diffusion molecules(solutes) are moved from area having a high concentration of solute towards the area having low solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane with the help of specific proteins is called facilitated diffusion.  

As molecules move along the concentration gradients so no energy consumption is required in facilitated diffusion. Transport proteins like channel proteins are used to transport the molecules across the cell.  

The rate of transport is higher in facilitated diffusion than simple diffusion. Polar and charged molecules can be diffused by facilitated diffusion.

Fungi often function as decomposers in an ecosystem. If you traced the carbon in a molecule of carbon dioxide from the air into
nignag [31]

Answer:

algae

Explanation:

<em>If a carbon in a molecule of carbon dioxide from the air is traced into a molecule of glucose inside a fungal cell, the carbon must have gone through an algae in order to get into the fungus.</em>

Fungi generally do not have the ability to fix carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. However, they are able to form a symbiotic relationship with algae through an organism known as lichen.

In lichen, the fungi and the algae enter a mutually beneficial relationship in which the fungi provide moisture and nutrient to the algae and in turn, the algae provide food to the fungi out of the sugar produced from photosynthesis.

<em>Hence, a carbon traced from the air to a fungi most likely passed through an algae as a result of symbiotic relationship between the two organisms.</em>
