What is the main sugar used by cells for energy?

Biology
1 answer:
butalik [34]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer is GLUCOSE.

Explanation:

Glucose is the main sugar used by cells for energy. Glucose is derived from the digestion of carbohydrates. In humans, glucose is usually absorbed into the blood from the small intestine, the blood then carry the blood around the body, allowing each cell to have access to the glucose it needs.

If the quantity of glucose in the blood is more than needed per time, the body usually store the excess glucose as glycogen, the glycogen will be turned to glucose and release for cell use when the quantity of sugar in the blood is low. In the absence of glycogen, other macro nutrients such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis when the concentration of glucose in the blood is low.

The cells oxidize the glucose and convert it to energy in form of ATP, which they use to carry out their life activities.

Use the Punnett square to predict the genotype for the parent organism whose genotype is unknown and
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: The genotype for the parent organism whose genotype is unknown is Ff.

Explanation: Let (F) represent the allele for purple which is dominant over (f) and (f) represent the allele for white.

The parent organism whose genotype is unknown is heterozygous for purple colour (Ff).

A cross between Ff and ff will produce four offsprings: two of which are Ff (heterozygous for purple colour) and two are ff (white).

Ff x ff = Ff, Ff, ff and ff.

Since (F) is dominant over (f), (Ff) will manifest as purple while (ff) will manifest as white. Therefore, half of the offsprings are purple while the other half are white.

Taya2010 [7]

According to Newton's second law of motion,

acceleration= Net force divided by mass

Net force of A=10N

Mass of A=10kg

F/M

=10N/10kg = 1 m/s2

Acceleration= 1m/s2
