During cellular respiration, the bonds of food molecules are broken, so energy can be released to fuel other cellular processes.

In order for this to occur, which of the following statements must be true?
A.
The new compounds that are formed must be more complex than the food molecules that were broken down.
B.
New compounds with lower-energy bonds must be formed when the high-energy bonds in food molecules are broken.
C.
New compounds with higher-energy bonds must be formed when the low-energy bonds in food molecules are broken.
D.
The energy in the new compounds that are formed must be equal to the energy in the bonds of the food molecules.

B.  New compounds with lower-energy bonds must be formed when the high-energy bonds in food molecules are broken.

Explanation:

The correct statement from the given choices is that new compounds with lower-energy bonds must be formed when the high- energy bonds in the food molecules are broken down.

Cellular respiration is classified as an catabolic  process in which an energy rich substance is broken down into a lesser one.

  • Metabolic processes are usually divided into catabolic and anabolic processes.
  • In catabolic step, energy is broken down.
  • Cellular respiration is catabolic whereas photosynthesis is anabolic.
  • The new compounds formed have lower energy bonds after respiration.

Based on the information in the chart, what can we conclude about the functionality of various sized beaks.
denis23 [38]

The correct answer is - B. Beak size determines what the bird can eat.

The beak of a bird can come in many different shapes and sizes. It can be pointy, long, short, rounded, scythe-like, thin, thick... All of those shapes and sizes have a specific role, and that role is to enable the bird to feed itself with certain type of food source. Every food source requires certain type of beak in order for the bird to be efficient in getting its nutrition, so depending on hat the bird eats, we can easily see a pattern in the beaks, where birds that eat nuts have one strong and shorter beak, the ones that eat warms and insects have thin, pointy one, the predator birds have claw like, sharp beak...

Forming glycogen as energy storage in the liver is an example of ________.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Forming glycogen as energy storage in the liver is an example of anabolism.

<h3>What is anabolism?</h3>

Anabolism is a metabolic process that consists of the construction and manufacture of more complex molecules from simpler molecules. This contributes to cell growth and energy storage for tissue maintenance.

The process of anabolism can be seen in processes such as the formation of triglycerides or glycogen for energy reserves within cells or in the formation of muscle proteins, given in the sports world.

In these anabolic processes, a lot of energy is consumed since much more complex molecules are being manufactured.

It is a totally opposite and complementary process to catabolism, in which these complex molecules are broken down into much simpler molecules and the release of energy is generated.

For a correct homeostasis of the body, these two processes have to be balanced and work in a <u>complementary way.</u>

Therefore, we can confirm that forming glycogen as energy storage in the liver is an example of anabolism.

You are analyzing a human pedigree for a new disease and discover that the disease occurs with the same frequency in both sexes
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. autosomal recessive

Explanation:

In an autosomal disease, the mutation occurs in the autosomal chromosome, not in the sex chromosome. In autosomal recessive disease if both the defected allele from parent comes in the child then only the child would be affected by the disease. If the offspring have single defected allele than he is said to be a carrier.

So as the defect is not in sex chromosome the disease will occur in the same frequency in both the sexes and if parents are carriers which means they are not affected by disease than 25% offspring can have the disease because out of four offspring one can get both the defected allele, one from each parent. So the correct answer is A.

Answer: Option D. Vestigial trait

Explanation:

Vestigial traits simply involves those traits (such as organs, structurrs or behaviors) which are found or occurs in organisms or animals, that have lost all or most of their original function through evolution. These vestigial structures were organs that performed some important functions in the organism at one point in the past. In most cases, organs or traits once identified as vestigial simply had an unrecognized function.
