Why doesn't an animal cell need to photosynthesize in order for cellular respiration to occur

Biology
1 answer:
JulsSmile [24]3 years ago

Hi!


In order for cellular respiration to occur in a cell, the cell needs to have glucose molecules to utilize in the reaction which is as follows:

<u>C6H12O6</u> + 6 O2  -->  6 CO2  + 6 H2O + ATP (energy)

Cellular respiration cannot occur in the absence of glucose. Plant cells acquire this glucose from photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy = <u>C6H12O6</u> + 6O2

Animal cells do not need to photsynthesize because they acquire the amount of  glucose for cellular reaction from their diet/consumption. Herbivores acquire this glucose from plants, carnivores from feeding off other animals, and omnivores from both feeding off plants and animals.


Hope this helps!

Answer:

C. Osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is the net movement of solvent molecules, usually water, from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is a very useful for moving materials in and out of the cell.

Solutions are mixtures of solutes and solvents. The main aim of osmosis is for all the mixture part to be uniform and the solvent equally dispersed to all the part of the solution.

Osmosis is controlled to a large extent by concentration gradient.

Diffusion on the otherhand is the movement of molecules of a substance from one position to another.

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are just mechanisms for transport within a cell or a body.

What happened to the red blood cells after the sugar was added to the solution
Travka [436]

Answer:

Studies revealed that glucose binds with the RBC membrane and intracellular proteins and increases membrane rigidity. The thing is that the concentration of glucose in the solution used is less than compared to the concentration of the same inside RBC and the cells swell up due to endometriosis.
