Energy coupling is the transfer of energy from the energy forming step to the biomolecule forming step. The energy forming step is called catabolism wherein the complex molecules are broken down and releasing energy. The energy produced is then used the process called anabolism which produces biomolecules such as proteins.

_______ research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson's disea
nydimaria [60]

<u>Stem cell </u>research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson’s disease with considerable progress made in creating dopamine-progressing cells.

Explanation:

Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease, leads to reduction of dopamine (a neurochemical messenger which carries messages involving thinking and body movements to brain) in the body because the disease will target and kill dopamine-producing nerve cells (neurons). This leads to loss of movement and thinking abilities which are activated by dopamine.

Stem cells research is done to study about the prospects of stem cells in stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s patients as a viable source of new dopamine nerve cells. Research has been involved in growing stem cells to replace or regenerate dopamine-producing nerve cells by using embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells as a treatment modality in Parkinson’s disease.

Why is reabsorption important
harina [27]
<span>The purpose of the kidneys is to filter waste from the blood, and other things like water, glucose, amino acids, some minerals/vitamins, and other small molecules can also get filtered out. Reabsorbtion of water in the kidneys allows the body to maintain a fluid balance (drink a lot and you pee more cause you have an excess of water). As for the other aforementioned things, they're often needed for metabolic processes (such as certain enzyme functions) so loosing it to waste decreases efficiency and efficacy of other bodily processes. </span>

A recent study of the marine hawksbill turtle's stomach contents revealed that sponges constitute a major portion of their diet.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

These structures that protect the sponges from most predators, but not turtles, are spicules.

Explanation:

Sponges <em>skeleton</em> is composed of <em>calcium carbonate and siliceous</em> micro-structures called <u>spicules</u>. Their morphology is so varied that it is used in taxonomy for identification and classification.

There are different kinds of spicules:

-         <em>Monoaxonic spicule</em>: needle-shaped, straights or curves

-         <em>Tetraxonic spicules:</em> they have four prolongations

-         <em>Triaxonic or Hexaxonic spicules</em>

-         <em>Poliaxonic spicules </em>

Two terms can be applied to any of these spicules kinds:

-         <em>Megaspicules</em>: They are elongated and compose the main architecture of the sponge skeleton

-         <em>Microspicules</em>: Variable in shape and size, with ancillary functions

Sponges have few predators thank to the spicule structures and their high toxicity. Many of them are capable of perforating soft tissues and producing urticant substances.

Sometimes water goes "down the wrong tube" and you start to cough. Which digestive structure has temporarily malfunctioned when
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Epiglottis

Explanation:

The epiglottis is a leaf like structure tat rests above the voice box/larynx and its main function is to seal off the windpipe during eating, so that food is not accidentally inhaled down the wind pipe. When water goes down the wrong pipe, it goes down the windpipe instead of the oesophagus resulting in water going to your lungs which causes the coughing as a protective reflex to clear the windpipe
