How do cells reproduce? c. How do plants use sunlight to live? b. How does food yield energy? d. How is genetic information transferred?

Answer 1

Answer:

b. How does food yield energy?

Explanation:

The main question is how energy is produced from food such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins etc. First the carbohydrate is converted into glucose molecule and then glucose is absorbed by the cell and is broken down in the mitochondria of the cell with the addition of oxygen and generate energy in the form of adenine tri phosphate. All the scientists wants to know that how a food is converted into energy.
