Biology
1 answer:
Veronika [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Macromolecules such as starches, proteins, and fats store great amount of energy (ATP) by making comlpex chemical bonding. This energy cannot be extracted unless they are digested (broken) first. Therefore, organisms with the help of enzymes break the big molecules to make them simpler compounds. Thereon, energy is extracted through series of chemcial reactions occuring within the animal body, i.e. glycolysis, electron transport chain, etc.

In the tonicity of red blood cells activity, why were you unable to read the lab manual through the tubes containing hypertonic
kap26 [50]
The reason why we were unable to read the lab manual through the tubes containing isotonic and hypertonic solution is  because the cells in those solutions remained intact, causing the solutions to be opaque, in the tonicity of red blood cells activity. The reason why we can't read the lab manual is because the cells in the solutions remained intact.
