Answer:

Human cells can readily absorb folic acid; bacteria cells cannot.

Explanation:

Bacterial cells cannot absorb folic acid and synthesize it. On the other hand, humans do not synthesize folic acid in their cells. They rather obtain it from the diet. Sulfa drugs, for example, sulfanilamide resemble p-aminobenzoate (PABA). PABA is a molecule that is used as a substrate in the synthesis of the coenzyme folic acid. The sulfa drugs serve as competitive inhibitors and compete with PABA for the catalytic site of an enzyme involved in the folic acid synthesis. This prevents the synthesis of folic acid in bacterial cells and thereby, inhibits bacterial growth.

How do living things make use of the energy stored in food molecules?
ipn [44]
Answer:
             The energy stored in food molecule (glucose) is released in he process of respiration. 

Explanation:                     Respiration is a cellular process in which glucose molecule is broken down into carbon dioxide, water and ATP is produced as end product. Respiration consists of following main steps:
1. Glycolysis:                It occurs in the cytoplasm of cell, and each glucose molecule is converted into two pyruvates with help of ATP.
2. Formation of Acetyl coenzyme A:                                                        It is a connecting link reaction between glycolysis and Kreb cycle. In this phase Each pyruvate react with Coenzyme A to become acetyl coenzyme A.
3. Kreb Cycle:                   It occurs inside mitochondria. In this cycle each acetyl coenzyme A with fixed with CO to produce citrate which undergo in a cyclic reaction to produce ATP and NADH. . 
4. Electron transport chain:                                           It is the last step of respiration which complete in mitochondrial membrane. In this phase most of the energy is produced along with H₂O as by product.
