Answer:

a fuel for cellular respiration and a starting material for making other organic molecules.

Explanation:

Plants have the ability to produce sugars by the process of photosynthesis. Plants can convert the inorganic CO2 from the air into the organic nutrients such as sugars. Plants store sugars so that they can serve as a source of ATP for the cells as and when required. The sugars enter the process of cellular respiration and are oxidized into CO2 and H2O. In addition, the energy of chemical bonds of the sugars is used to form ATP molecules.

Plants also use sugars to synthesize other organic molecules. For example, several intermediates of Kreb's cycle can serve as precursors for the synthesis of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together to form different proteins.

Which of the following does NOT characterize proteins?

8090 [49]

Answer:

The answer is C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information.

Explanation:

Why NOT C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information?

This is the job of the nucleic acids. It is composed of nucleotides which are the basic units of DNA and RNA. They carry genetic information about a certain organism.

<h3 /><h3>True of proteins:</h3>

A) They may be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity.

Denaturation is the destruction of the protein's secondary and/or tertiary structures. The primary structure is not disrupted due to the tough peptide bonds and can only be broken down by acid. For heat denaturation, hydrogen bonds are destroyed, as in cooking of egg whites and medical equipment sterilization.

B) They have both functional and structural roles in the body.

There are many kinds of proteins that have functional and structural roles like hormones (FSH, LH), antibodies (IgA, IgM), enzymes (lipase, amylase), for storage/transport (hemoglobin, ferritin), and locomotion (actin, troponin).

D) Their function depends on their three-dimensional shape.

Just like hemoglobin, it's quaternary structure can carry 4 molecules of iron in one go. Enzymes are shaped accordingly to fit a specific substrate (lock-and-key model)

All organisms must perform life-sustaining metabolic processes in order to survive.

Alik [6]

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms or single celled organisms that are made up only of one cell. Hence the name.
Unicellular organisms are further divided into Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic organisms
Examples of prokaryotic organisms are bacteria and Eukaryotic are protozoa and unicellular algae, however many eukaryotes are multi cellular as well.
These organisms have to carry out life sustaining metabolic processes for their survival.
These processes are metabolism, homeostasis and reproduction. Metabolism is important as it involves conversion of food into energy for cellular processes. Homeostasis for maintaining a constant internal physical and chemical conditions and reproduction is by cell division.
Multi cellular organisms as the name says unlike unicellular organisms consists of more than one cells.
Examples of multi cellular organisms are animals, land plants etc.,
Metabolic process in multi cellular organisms is a broad category of processes happening for these organisms which involves chemical reactions and pathways that happen at organismal state, transporting substances between the cells.
