component amino acids. As your body destroys the macromolecules that were present in the beans, is the energy present in those molecules destroyed?
A. Yes. By breaking down these macromolecules, some of the energy they contained is destroyed.
B. No. While the vast majority of the energy contained in these macromolecules is converted to heat, it is not actually destroyed.
C. No. The energy contained within these macromolecules is converted into other forms of chemical energy and kinetic energy, though some is lost as heat.

Answer:

Option C, No. The energy contained within these macromolecules is converted into other forms of chemical energy and kinetic energy, though some is lost as heat.

Explanation:

Breaking down of large molecules in to smaller molecules does not signify breaking down of energy stored in it and hence losing all the stored energy.  

Breaking down of large molecule is necessary to convert large molecules into small easily digestible molecules so that the food energy stored in them can be  stored  in some other form specifically chemical energy and can be used at later stages. However, in the process of conversion of large molecules into small molecules , a certain amount of heat energy is used.

Hence, option C is correct

#1. Which of the following structures would you expect to find in a single-celled organism? A. internal organs B. legs and feet
qwelly [4]
1. outer covering - none of the other answers can occur due to the absorbed solutions inability to reach the centre of the organism, smaller cells in greater numbers are more efficient as they can group together yet all absorb the right amounts of nutrients for its need. multi cellular organisms, such as humans can have the other answers in them as cells group together to make skin, muscles and organs. it also gives the organism to grow larger.

2. bacteria are single celled. bacteria reproduce through mitosis (cell division). bacteria break down decaying matter to obtain energy. every organism requires energy to live. Bacteria can move in order to reach their nutrient source.
