What’s the function of cellular respiration

Biology

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level. The purpose of cellular respiration is simple: it provides cells with the energy they need to function. If living things could not get the energy they need out of food, it would be absolutely worthless. All living things would eventually die, no matter the quality and amount of food.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water)

The main function of cellular respiration is to turn food into usable chemical energy called ATP. Your body can use ATP as a source of energy to function.

In foods such as carbohydrates, there is stored chemical energy that the body can't use right away. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level.

In what way are cell biologists and molecular biologists similar?
Dmitry [639]

Molecular biologists are interested in things like the level of gene expression (how much protein or RNA is present at any given time), which molecules are directly touching each other inside the cell, etc. ... Cell biology techniques, on the other hand, want to know what's going on inside intact cells.

How does a marshmallow contain carbon?​
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The sugar molecules in the marshmallow are being changed into carbon. Sugar can be changed into water molecules. When you toast marshmallows, the heat causes a chemical reaction producing water molecules which then evaporate, leaving the carbon behind.

A friend of yours claims to have identified a gene that causes a human disease! Your friend says that they have sequenced the DN
sattari [20]

Answer: Point mutation is easily reversible, thus non-lethal

Explanation:

Point mutation is caused by exchange of a single nucleotide for another. These change is called

1) Transition (when a purine base substitute another purine base, or pyrimidine bases substitute each other)

2) Transversion (when a purine base substitute a pyrimidine base).

However, note that a point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation; so, the claim that a nucleotide difference in the Hsr12 gene caused the human disease is inaccurate
