Answer:

To break down food molecules and turn it into energy.

Explanation:

All living organisms must carry on releasing the energy stored in food molecules through a chemical process known as the respiration.

The main purpose of respiration by the living things is to break down the sugar (glucose) and turn it into energy, in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is then used to perform some essential activities of life.

The main reason is to convert glucose into energy. When organisms consume food, the body targets glucose molecules for conversion to energy. However, respiration must first occur to transform these molecules into adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

We would be considered as one of the top predators.

Explanation:

There aren't many threats to humans at this point. We're omnivores, so we consume plants and meat. Humans are usually tertiary consumers, on the third trophic level, but sometimes can be on the second trophic level depending on the diagram.

There are six classes of nutrients that must be considered when planning your diet: water, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitami

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized by the human body but are required for optimal functioning. Therefore. They must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids are prime examples.

You consume macronutrients (water. proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) in large quantities as opposed to micronutrients which you consume in small quantities

Dehydration can develop very quickly when exercising in hot/humid weather conditions.

Proteins are also called 'bodybuilders" due to their function within the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Explanation:

Essential nutrients are those nutrients that are required for the proper functioning of the body but cannot be synthesized by the body. They are obtained from external sources such as vegetables or synthesized artificially in the laboratories. Micronutrients as the name implies are taken in small amounts. Examples are the different types of vitamins.

Dehydration occurs when a person loses a good amount of water through sweating or urination. It can easily occur while exercising in hot weather conditions. Proteins repair the cells in our body and are, therefore, rightfully referred to as bodybuilders. Amino acids form proteins.
