Carbon is the atom, which is necessarily find in the living organism.

All the living organisms are made up of biomolecules. All the biomolecules are organic compounds. The substance cannot be consider as living, if it lacks nucleic acids. There are two types of nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), both have a structure made up of carbon rings and chains.

Other than nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, hormones etc are also made up of carbon. So, all the living cells, or dead remain of organism must have carbon atom.

Hence, the correct answer is option D. carbon.

If a cell in metaphase of mitosis is fused with a cell in the G$$_1$$ phase of the cell cycle, the second nucleus will also begi
nalin [4]

Answer:

C. Molecules such as cyclins are in high concentration in the cytoplasm of a dividing cell and will signal the fused cells nucleus to undergo mitosis

Explanation:

Various stages of the cell cycle are under tight regulation. Specific proteins such as cyclins and cyclin-dependent protein kinases determine if the cell would progress from one stage of the cell cycle to the next. When a cell is in the metaphase, the cyclins specific for mitosis are present in a higher amount in the cell. These cyclins bind to the specific CDKs and activate them.

The activated CDKs then phosphorylate proteins that make the cell to move through various stages of mitosis. Therefore, fusing a G1 cell with a cell in metaphase of mitosis would trigger mitosis in the G1 cell due to the presence of mitosis specific cyclins in the second cell.

Cite particularly the difference in the synthesis of the two biomolecules in animals and plants.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The preceding section reviewed the major metabolic reactions by which the cell obtains and stores energy in the form of ATP. This metabolic energy is then used to accomplish various tasks, including the synthesis of macromolecules and other cell constituents. Thus, energy derived from the breakdown of organic molecules (catabolism) is used to drive the synthesis of other required components of the cell. Most catabolic pathways involve the oxidation of organic molecules coupled to the generation of both energy (ATP) and reducing power (NADH). In contrast, biosynthetic (anabolic) pathways generally involve the use of both ATP and reducing power (usually in the form of NADPH) for the production of new organic compounds. One major biosynthetic pathway, the synthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O during the dark reactions of photosynthesis, was discussed in the preceding section. Additional pathways leading to the biosynthesis of major cellular constituents (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) are reviewed in the sections that follow.

Carbohydrates

In addition to being obtained directly from food or generated by photosynthesis, glucose can be synthesized from other organic molecules. In animal cells, glucose synthesis (gluconeogenesis) usually starts with lactate (produced by anaerobic glycolysis), amino acids (derived from the breakdown of proteins), or glycerol (produced by the breakdown of lipids). Plants (but not animals) are also able to synthesize glucose from fatty acids—a process that is particularly important during the germination of seeds, when energy stored as fats must be converted to carbohydrates to support growth of the plant. In both animal and plant cells, simple sugars are polymerized and stored as polysaccharides.

Gluconeogenesis involves the conversion of pyruvate to glucose—essentially the reverse of glycolysis. However, as discussed earlier, the glycolytic conversion of glucose to pyruvate is an energy-yielding pathway, generating two molecules each of ATP and NADH. Although some reactions of glycolysis are readily reversible, others will proceed only in the direction of glucose breakdown, because they are associated with a large decrease in free energy. These energetically favorable reactions of glycolysis are bypassed during gluconeogenesis by other reactions (catalyzed by different enzymes) that are coupled to the expenditure of ATP and NADH in order to drive them in the direction of glucose synthesis. Overall, the generation of glucose from two molecules of pyruvate requires four molecules of ATP, two of GTP, and two of NADH. This process is considerably more costly than the simple reversal of glycolysis (which would require two molecules of ATP and two of NADH), illustrating the additional energy required to drive the pathway in the direction of biosynthesis.
