Answer: homeostasis

Explanation: Homeostasis is the ability of a system to maintain a balance in its internal environment. At the level of an organism, it is the set of parameters that must remain constant or adapt to the needs, such as blood pressure or heart rate, body temperature, blood glucose.

The concept of homeostasis was mentioned for the first time in 1866 by French physician and physiologist Claude Bernard. Today, the concept has been extended to other systems than purely organic ones, and can also be applied to an ecosystem.

Answer:

Diffusion

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process through which molecules in the cell are kept in balance with those outside the cell.

Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Through the above mechanism, molecules having higher concentration in the cell move out of the cell and vice versa thereby maintaining the balance of molecules in and outside the cell.

The second electron transport chain ends with a(n) ______ that creates NADPH.

mote1985 [20]

1. The right answer is enzymes
NADPH are molecules which are produced during reduction of metabolites (for example glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism...)

2. The right answer is enzymes.
The dark reactions (carbon cycle) act by the reduction of carbon dioxides (CO2) to the level of a carbohydrate (like fructose).

3. The right answer is ATP.
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is a nucleotide of the purine family used to store and transport energy (purines are nitrogenous bases).

4. The right answer is the Calvin cycle.
The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in plant chloroplasts. The Calvin cycle makes it possible to manufacture glucose, an energy molecule, from carbon dioxide. This is called carbon fixation.

5. The right answer is NADH
The overall assessment of glycolysis is:Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD + -----> 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 H2O + 2 NADH
As we can see, the glycolysis produce indeed 2NADH from a reduction of metabolites during the process.

6. The right answer is Glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the first chain of carbohydrate catabolism, it is carried out in the cytosol by soluble enzymes and anaerobically (without oxygen supply). Its function is the synthesis of a molecule rich in energy, as well as the formation of pyruvate which will have several destinies, including the Krebs cycle.
The Krebs cycle (or tricarboxylic cycle or citric acid cycle) is the energy platform of the cell, continuing the catabolism of carbohydrates after glycolysis. It is realized in the mitochondrial matrix and is done exclusively in aerobic.
