Biology
1 answer:
scoundrel [369]3 years ago
4 0
In order to survive, all the cells in your body need energy. ... To provide this energy, your cells must break down the glucose in your food during a process called glycolysis and convert it into pyruvate<span>, sometimes called pyruvic acid, and the molecule that feeds the Krebs cycle, our second step in </span>cellular respiration<span>.</span>

The two are potassium and rubidium. Why? Na is an alkali metal. As you go down the metals become more reactive. 
Calcium has 20 protons. Why? The atomic # is 20 (the one at the top).
It has 20 neutrons. Why? The atomic mass (the number on the bottom) is ~40, ignoring electron mass. 40- 20 protons = 20 neutrons. 
It has 20 electrons. 
Why? The # of protons and electrons is the same. Ions aren't on the periodic table.

During cellular respiration what is the direct source of the energu used in the cells of consumers?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Consumers use chemical energy from the chemical bonds within organic molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids,  and amino acids.

Explanation:

<u>Heterotrophs are consumers</u>; they ingest or absorb organic matter (lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, etc.)  made by autotrophs or producers for their energy consumption. Autotrophs include plants, bacteria, and other photosynthesizing organisms, while heterotrophs include animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria.

Heterotrophs obtain energy from food through the process of cellular respiration. For instance, during aerobic respiration in mitochondria, they break down sugars in the form of glucose into carbon dioxide and water to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

aerobic respiration:      C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

                                      glucose+ oxygen →  carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
