Answer: a.autotrophs

Explanation:

Autotrophs and heterotrophs are in equilibrium in the biosphere: Autotrophs capture sunlight to form ATP and NADPH, molecules they use to produce organic compounds from CO2 and H2O and release O2 into the atmosphere. Heterotopic beings, in turn, consume the organic compounds produced by autotrophic beings to obtain energy by oxidizing these compounds using atmospheric O2 and releasing CO2 into the environment. CO2 is used again by autotrophs, closing the cycle.

Answer:

Antibiotics save lives but any time antibiotics are used, they can cause side effects and lead to antibiotic resistance.

Since the 1940s, antibiotics have greatly reduced illness and death from infectious diseases. However, as we use the drugs, germs develop defense strategies against them. This makes the drugs less effective.

True or False: The first step in glycogen synthesis is the phosphorylation of glucose.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is True

Explanation:

The first step in glycogen synthesis (glycogenesis) is the phosphorylation of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate, which is catalyzed by hexokinase. [This step is also the first step in the glycolytic pathway]. Glucose-6-phosphate is then isomerized to glucose-1-phosphate by the action of phosphoglucomutase. This glucose-i-phosphate is then converted to glycogen by glycogen synthase.
