Which compound that provides energy in cells is made in every tube where cellular respiration is occuring?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

ATP

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate, commonly known as ATP, is the chemical molecule that stores and provides/releases energy in cells. ATP is needed by the cells of every living organism and is obtained via a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

Cellular respiration is the process whereby cells breakdown food molecules (sugar) to synthesize energy storing molecules called ATP. Hence, in every tube where cellular respiration is occuring, ATP is the produced molecule that provides energy.

If a cell loses control of gene expression, what happens?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Abnormal, unhealthy cells develop

Explanation:

Gene expression is the process through which genes are turned on through transcription, and to some extent through the translation of the mRNA.

Gene expression is highly regulated to ensure the cell can create the correct combination of proteins to carry out it's tasks. If gene expression is out of control, the mRNAs that are transcribed in the cell are not properly regulated, and therefore the proteins in the cell are not regulated. Since proteins carry out essentially every function in the cell, the cell becomes unhealthy, and incorrectly uses its resources.

Accurate control of gene expression also ensures that the cell can perform specialized functions, it is what makes a heart cell distinct from a brain cell, for example. Therefore, if it is out of control, cells will not be specialized correctly.
