The best answer is ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).

Metabolism is a term referring to the overall processes by which  energy is obtained by an organism. In man it begins with the digestion process, and ends with cellular respiration.

Food molecules are broken down into their monomer units through the digestive process. Carbohydrates are broken into glucose units. Glucose is taken in by cells and used in cellular respiration to produce ATP, which is the form of energy that cells use.

Cellular respiration involves three stages namely glycolysis , Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.  From one molecule of glucose, the number of ATP molecules generated through cellular respiration  is 36 to 38 molecules.

Onsidering that gluconeogenesis requires a net input of 4 atp equivalents compared to glycolysis, why would a cell utilize this
Pani-rosa [81]

The process by which organisms create sugars (specifically glucose) from non-carbohydrate precursors is known as gluconeogenesis.

  • The only energy source used by the brain, testes, erythrocytes, and renal medulla is glucose, with the exception of ketone bodies during fasting. There are three highly exergonic stages in glycolysis. Hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase are among the enzymes involved in these additional regulatory stages. In biological processes, both forward and backward reactions are possible.
  • Similar to glycolysis, but with the process going the other way, is gluconeogenesis. Fructose-1,6-bP, glucose-6-P, and pyruvate all undergo fairly spontaneous conversions in the process of gluconeogenesis, which is why these reactions are tightly controlled.
  • For the organism to function properly, energy conservation is crucial. Gluconeogenesis is suppressed when there is an abundance of energy available.

Therefore, gluconeogenesis conserve more energy.

The various parts of the endomembrane system serve different functions in the cell. in this activity, you will identify the role
DanielleElmas [232]
The endomembrane system is very important for synthesizing, processing, and movement of lipids and proteins in the cell.
The smooth ER function is mainly used for lipid synthesizing and processing, while the rough ER function is for protein synthesizing

Explain how the carbon cycle might be affected if we increased the extraction rate of fossil fuels.
vitfil [10]
More carbon would be released into the air with the burning of more fossil fuels and the environment would not be able to process the extra carbon.<span />

10. Which of the following statements best describes the major difference between anaphase of mitosis and anaphase I of meiosis?
umka2103 [35]
The answer will be A because mitosis usually separate the sister chromatids to sister chromosomes to form two diploid cells. In meiosis, the goal is to have four haploid cells. To form that, cells need to undergo cell division two times. In the case of meiosis I, sister chromatids stay joined together until it reaches meiosis II. Then, the sister chromatids will separate starting at anaphase II in meiosis II. For example, if you start with 92 chromosomes (46 chromatids) during meiosis I, at meiosis II you will have two cells with 46 chromosomes (23 chromatids). By the end of meiosis II, you should form 4 haploid cells that contains 23 chromosomes.
