<span>The trick here is to understand the definition of each of the cellular transport or function mechanisms listed. These are some interesting (and strange) analogies!
Facilitated Diffusion
This is when a mechanism assists in diffusing (spreading) some material into an environment. The dog on the wagon going through a spring loaded door would shoot it out into the environment. This is an odd analogy but Point 3 would be the one.
Active Transport
Is when energy is expended to transport molecules somewhere against a concentration gradient or some other barrier. Examples include transporting molecules across a cell wall. The best analogy is the dog being dragged into a bathtub (Point 1).
Phagocytosis
This is when a larger cell consumes a molecule often like eating. This matches to point 2 - the child eating the doughnut.
Passive Diffusion
Is when a concentration of molecules naturally diffuse into an environment. This suits point 5 - the crowded room full of people.
Pinocytosis
Is the budding of cell membranes to consume liquid in the surrounding environment. I guess a woman drinking tea is the closest analogy listed (Point 4).</span>
Answer:
Energy is stored in <u>glucose</u> molecules <u>C6H12O6</u>
<u />
Explanation:
Producers make sugars stored as monomers bonded together to form polysaccharides, long chain hydrocarbon molecules as a result of the process of <u>photosynthesis</u>. These molecules, like the monosaccharide glucose, store converted solar energy as stable chemical energy in covalent bonds. In covalent bonding, the elements share electrons with each other.
These high-energy bonds are stable and not easily destabilized or broken. The energy is retrieved the the process of respiration in the mitochondria.
Glucose is broken down, while energy is transferred to bonds between ADP and inorganic phosphate, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Eg. for aerobic respiration...
C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP
glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
Some micronutrients, such as vitamins e and c, can function as antioxidants in that they are able to neutralize free radicals. Radical are highly unstable molecules produced in our body when we are exposed to toxins. <span>Vitamins C and E, carotenoids (including </span>beta-carotene<span>), and the mineral </span>selenium<span> are all powerful antioxidants found in food.</span>
