Answer:
False
"The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".
Explanation:
The food we eat undoubtedly contains energy. This energy is stored in the bonds of the molecules that make up the food. However, the food undergoes the process of digestion to yield glucose (a sugar). This glucose sugar is used in the process of CELLULAR RESPIRATION to synthesize a form of chemical energy usable by cells called ATP.
ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is a molecule that stores chemical energy in living cells. It is the molecule that directly powers all of our cellular activities. Hence, the statement in this question is FALSE. The correct statement should be "The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".
Answer:
It is usually easier to calculate an enzyme's reaction velocity from the rate of appearance of PRODUCT rather than the rate of disappearance of a SUBSTRATE. Enzyme activity is measured as an INITIAL reaction velocity, the velocity before much SUBSTRATE has been depleted and before much PRODUCT has been generated. It is easier to measure the appearance of a small amount of PRODUCT from a baseline of zero PRODUCT than to measure the disappearance of small amount of SUBSTRATE against a background of high concentration of SUBSTRATE.
Answer:
not significant to the overall mass of the atom
Explanation:
The mass number of an atom is the combination of the mass of the protons and neutrons. Electrons are not included because their mass are so insignificant that is doesn't change the total mass much, therefore they are left out. The mass of an electron is about 1,830 times smaller than protons and neutrons.
Answer:
Option C. As microscopes became more powerful, scientists could see additional structures and functions within the cell.
Explanation:
Light microscope is also called optical microscope which is used to see very small objects which can't be seen through naked eyes. The magnification power of light microscope is 1000x which means light microscope show the object 1000 times greater than its original size. Due to this magnification power, scientists are able to see many new features of the cell which cannot be seen with ordinary microscope.
