Answer:

a. It is a type of sugar.

Explanation:

Glucose is a chemical molecule belonging to the group of carbohydrates, it is a simple sugar. Glucose is the basic unit used as fuel by a complex cellular enzymatic system that degrades this molecule to obtain energy for all the functions of the body of animals and plants. Glucose also participates as a precursor to other important substances.

Glucose is produced by plants through a process called photosynthesis, where glucose molecules are formed by joining water and carbon dioxide molecules with the help of solar energy and oxygen release. Glucose in plants serves as energy, reserves of nutrients (sucrose and starch, among other carbohydrates that are accumulated in fruits, seeds, stems, leaves and roots; each plant has its own way of making its reserve) and for its own formation and plant growth (all parts are made from the union of glucose molecules forming the cellulose that gives plants structures).

Our genes can be affected by the environment and change the way our traits are displayed, called the phenotype. However, changes in phenotype have an underlying genotypic source. Epigenetics or epigenetic changes are changes in the way traits are expressed as an effect of the environment (i.e. food we ate, chemicals in the body, environmental stresses), without changes in the DNA. Simply put, in epigenetics, some parts of the DNA are turned on or off in response to environmental conditions.

What does this animation mean when it says that ATP is like a rechargeable battery?
Solnce55 [7]

I dont know what animation you mean about but i will give my opinion.

ATP are used for energy, they are made inside mitochondria. Mitochondria use oxygen and food to make ATP, which is maybe what u mean by rechargable is because whenever you eat, the mitochondria will produce energy again and again.
