Answer:

Molecule A is a simple sugar or amino acid, while molecule B is a starch or protein.

Explanation:

Molecule A, as a simple sugar or amino acid, consists of small molecules which can readily pass through the cell membrane, while Molecule B, as a starch or protein, consists of large molecules, thus, can't pass across the cell membrane.

This is the reason why the cell membrane is considered to be selectively permeable.

Sebastian wants to make ball-and-stick models of the four macromolecules. He has colored balls for each of the elements in these
lana [24]
The answer is lipids.
<span>The macromolecules with the highest number of carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds are the lipids. The one of the main functions of the lipids is energy storage, therefore, they contain many C-H bonds which contain potential energy. Although carbohydrates can also store energy, they contain much oxygen .
So, he will need mostly black and red balls for a model of lipids.</span>

Explain the fluid mosaic model
MrRa [10]
The model describes how cellular membranes i.e. lipid bilayers are organized. Despite the fluidity, lipid bilayers can form certain domains with different characterisrics and compositions. The cell can use different mixtures of lipids to create a 'mosaic' or 'patchwork' of domains.
An example of such domains are so called 'lipid rafts' which are aggregates of certain lipids (mostly cholesterol and sphingomyelins). In these rafts the lateral diffusion of membrane-bound proteins is strongly reduced, thereby forming stable complexes to facilitate, for example, signal-processing and transduction.
Note that a lot about how or why a cell creates these domains is still unknown.

During cellular respiration the largest amount of ATP is generated in
Degger [83]
The electron transport chain of the cellular respiration process produces maximum ATP.

There are three parts of cellular respiration:

Glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP.
Krebs cycle, which does not produce any ATP. It produces only the raw materials for ATP production.
Oxidative phosphorylation, which involves the electron transport chain that produces maximum ATP. It takes one NADH molecule via Channel 1 to produce 2.5 ATP and one FADH2 molecule via channel 2 to produce 1.5 ATP, for a total of 34 ATP.

<span>Coral bleaching. The name is apt, as coral affected by this process will lose their vibrant color and become white, which is the color of the calcium carbonate substrate that the coral polyps build around themselves. Coral bleaching can be reversed, but only if ideal conditions return quickly.</span>
