Which of the following does NOT occur in cells? Group of answer choices The conversion of sunlight into energy stored in chemica
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The use of heat to burn foodstuffs

The use of chemical energy to transport organelles through the cytosol

Explanation:

In plant cells, sunlight energy is converted into chemical energy in a process known as photosynthesis which happens in the chloroplast.

During respiration, cells generally metabolize nutrients to produce useful energy in the form of ATP.

<em>Heat is not used to burn foodstuffs in any cell while organelles are not transported through the cytosol in any cell.</em>

A skeleton muscle is a composition of several components bundled one into the other.
Ivan

Answer:

An individual skeletal muscle may be made up of hundreds, or even thousands, of muscle fibers bundled together and wrapped in a connective tissue covering. Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium. Fascia, connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles.
