Answer:

A: Anabolic pathways build molecules, require energy and are endergonic

Explanation:

Anabolism and catabolism are the two important process of metabolism - a process through which cells get energy to drive various processes within the body and get rid of toxic wastes.

Anabolic and catabolic reactions can be described as opposing sides of the same coin. While anabolism refers to the various reactions that build up molecules within the cell, catabolism has to do with the breakdown of big or complex molecules into smaller ones.

Both processes involves energy. Anabolic reactions require energy to drive the building up process and therefore referred to as endergonic reactions. On the other hand, catabolic reactions liberate energy during the breaking down of complex molecules and therefore referred to exergonic reactions.

A good example of anabolic reaction is photosynthesis which involves the building up of carbohydrate (glucose) using carbon-dioxide, water molecule and energy while a good example of catabolic reaction is respiration which involves the breakdown of carbohydrates into carbon-dioxide, water molecules and the release of energy.

Hence, the only correct option is A.

The four organic molecules are listed below. Which ones do you get from the foods you eat? Check all that apply.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Carbohydrate, proteins, and lipids

Explanation:

<em>The organic molecules that can be derived from eating foods are carbohydrate, proteins, and lipids.</em>

<u>Carbohydrates are general derived from starchy foods such as grains, proteins are derived from eating of foods that are rich in proteins such as meat, milk, etc, while lipids are derived from eating fat/oil-based foods such as butter, avocados, etc.</u>

Nucleic acids are not derived directly from foods. They are monomers of proteins and hence, they are only derived from breaking down proteins.

Approximately 40% of the energy stored in sugar molecules is converted into energy. What happens to the remaining 60%?
Vaselesa [24]
<h3>Answer</h3>

Approximately 40% of the energy stored in sugar molecules is converted into energy and the remaining 60% is wasted as heat energy.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Cellular respiration is the process which take place inside a living organism by which organic compounds, usually carbohydrates, are broken down releasing energy that is used to produce ATP molecules that supplies energy/power to cells.

<h3>Example of respiration</h3>

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —– enzymes & coenzymes ——> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Release of Energy (≤38 ATP) + Heat

So, 40% of the available energy of glucose is release as ATP and the remaining 60% is lost as heat and helps to generate your relatively high body temperature.

People who use complex tools like plows, irrigation, and fertilizers to grow domesticated plants are called:
motikmotik
People who use complex tools like plows, irrigation, and fertilizers to grow domesticated plants are called farmers, it is a large scale activity and it´s use to obtain food from the earth, we also have horticulture, does not require hundreds or thousands of acres of land, horticulture is also important, but is more limited to the domestic and individual context, and finally it is much cheaper because it is not done at large scales like the Agriculture.
