The correct answer is option C

The reaction of cellular respiration and burning of fossil fuel needs carbon. Fossil fuel are like coal is made up of carbon. Organic compounds are made up of carbon(abundant), hydrogen and oxygen in small amounts.

The cellular respiration is the process by which the body obtains energy in the form of ATP by the breakdown of carbohydrates which is also a carbon compound.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, Carbon

Explanation:

In cellular respiration, a higher carbon molecule i.e glucose breaks down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy.  The chemical equation for cellular respiration is given below –  

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 --> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP

Like wise, in combustion of any fuel , the higher carbon molecules burn in the presence of oxygen to release gases like carbon dioxide methane etc.  

Thus, a fossil fuel must be made up of carbon.

What is the mean arterial pressure if some has for 150/90 blood pressure
Leto [7]

Answer: If you are 80 years and older, it should be less than 150/90 (“150 over 90”). In general, the lower your blood pressure, the better. A blood pressure reading of less than 90/60 is normal as long as you feel okay.

Why are phosphates a critical part of life
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Phosphates are critical part of life because of the diverse roles they perform in the lives of living organisms, especially in DNA and RNA molecules.

Phosphates are formed from two elements, phosphorus and oxygen. Phosphorus is a very important element that play a crucial roles in the formation of bones and teeth. It is also plays vital roles in carbohydrate metabolism, fat metabolism, protein synthesis and repair of worn out tissues. Oxygen on the other hand is required for oxidation of biological fuel and for breathing.

Phosphates are usually formed from one atom of phosphorus and four atoms of oxygen, it has the chemical formula PO4. Phosphate is an important component of DNA and RNA molecules, phosphates hold these molecules together. Phosphate molecule is also found in ATP, which is the energy currency of living cells.
