Answer:
The correct answer is ''proteins.''
Explanation:
Transport phenomena are essential in living beings, either to carry a hydrophobic molecule through an aqueous medium (transport of oxygen or lipids through the blood) or to transport polar molecules through hydrophobic barriers (transport through the cell membrane). Biological transporters are always proteins. Proteins are capable of carrying out specific functions such as the selective transport of molecules, or certain enzymatic reactions, among others. Membrane proteins can be peripheral or partially or totally integrated into the membrane, being, generally, globular or fibrous. Its activity is essential for the maintenance of transmembrane gradients. Thanks to membrane proteins, the exchange of molecules such as nutrients or waste products takes place, as well as the reception of external signals. Among its functions are channel-forming: Integral proteins arranged in the membrane in such a way that they give rise to the formation of a pore or channel, usually hydrophilic. These pores or channels allow the entry and exit of certain substances from the cell.

Answer:
The complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen occurs in two stages: glycolysis and citric acid cycle. The first of these stages occur in the cytoplasm of the cell, and the second stage occurs in organelles called Mitochondria.
Explanation:
The breakdown of glucose occurs in two stages. The first stage occurs inside the cytoplasm, it is called glycolysis. when a molecule of glucose undergoes glycolysis, the following are produced:
2 ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) molecules;
2 water molecules;
2 pyruvate molecules and;
2 NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide) molecules
The second stage occurs in an organelle called Mitochondria, it is called citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid or Kreb's cycle. In this stage, the two pyruvate molecules from the glycolytic cycle are reduced to carbon(iv)oxide. The following are produced:
2 ATP molecules;
6 NADH molecules;
2 FADH2 (flavine adenine dinucleotide) and;
4 molecules of carbon(iv) oxide.
The NADH and FADH2 molecules are used in the electron transport chain generates as much as 28 ATP molecules.
The medical term for the bending of a body part is flexion.
Hope this helps!
