7 0

Answer:

Carbohydrates and lipids are similar in that they are both sources of energy but they are different in the amount of energy they produce.

Explanation:

Carbohydrate and lipids are similar in the sense that both of them are  parts of foods consumed by humans and the two marcro molecules are good sources of energy for the body cells. The carbohydrate has to be broken down to glucose before it can be absorbed by the body cells. This is because glucose is the only energy source that the body cells can use. The lipid has to be converted to glucose through biochemical reactions such as gluconeogenesis before the cells can use it.

The basic difference between the two energy sources is that the amount of energy that they supply is quite different. Lipid contains more energy than carbohydrate; carbohydrate can only supply about one-quarter of the energy that lipid can supply.

Photosynthesis occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.How do the location where photosynthesis occurs differ in prokaryotes a
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

In eukaryotes, it occurs in the chloroplast. In prokaryotes it does it in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes don't have organelles such as the mitochondria and the chloroplast, it just has cell membrane, which its only function is to protect the cell and is unable to generate chemical processes; the DNA, which stores and manages only the genes, which would be affected if exposed to a chemical process like photosynthesis; and the cytoplasm, which stores the materials that the cell needs, where photosynthesis occurs. Eukaryotes have chloroplasts, which absorb the sunlight and combine it with carbon dioxide and water to realize photosynthesis.

What energy yield (in molecules of ATPATP per molecule of monosaccharide) would you predict for the bacterial catabolism of raff
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2.67 ATP per molecule.

Explanation:

With the help of sucrose, it comes to known that the dissociation of a sugar-sugar bond generates one phosphorylated monosaccharide. Therefore, raffinose, which is a trisaccharide exhibits bonds of two sugar-sugar molecules. Post dissociation, they will generate one regular monosaccharide and two phosphorylated monosaccharides.  

There will be the generation of net ATPs by each phosphorylated monosaccharide as they are already phosphorylated. While the regular monosaccharide, which is first needed to get phosphorylated will only produce two ATPs. Thus, a total of 8 ATPs will be produced by one molecule of raffinose. After dividing by three monosaccharides, the molecule will produce 8/3 = 2.67 ATPs per monosaccharide.
