Use Sammi's model as an example to explain why cells are the building blocks for human bodies?

katrin2010 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The cell is a basic functional and structural unit of life. All living organisms are made up of cells. The human body contains approximately 100 trillion cells in our blood, skin, nerves, muscles, bones, and brain. Humans have 200 diverse forms of cells that come in different sizes and shapes. Each cell performs a specific function in the human body. There are four main types of cells: nerve cells, muscle cells, epithelial cells, and connective tissue cells. Nerve cells are specific for communication. These cells send signals from the brain to glands and muscles that control functions. Nerve cells receive sensory information is from the skin, the ears, and the eyes and send this information to the brain. Epithelial cells cover the interior of hollow body organs such as digestive organs or blood vessels. Muscle cells are specific for contraction. The body cannot move without muscles. Connective tissue cells protect against foreign invaders and also provide strength to the body.

Which of the following is the most efficient substance to complete cellular respiration?

juin [17]

Answer:

Sugar

Explanation:

The correct answer would be sugar.

Respiration generally involves the metabolic breakdown of carbohydrates to generate energy (in the form of ATP). It is a multi-step process that can summarily be represented by the equation below:

$C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy$

<em>As a rule of thumb, the higher the respiratory quotient of a substrate, the higher the energy that will be generated if such a substrate is utilized for respiration. By definition, the respiratory quotient of a substrate is the ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen produced or consumed to breakdown the substrate.</em>

Carbohydrates are known to have the highest respiratory quotient while other molecules follow in varying degrees. Other substances apart from carbohydrates have to undergo one or two metabolic processes before they can enter the respiratory pathway, thereby reducing their efficiencies when compared to carbohydrates.
