Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is osmosis.
Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent (like water) from a region where the concentration of solute is lower to a region where the concentration of solute is higher though a semipermeable membrane.
In other words, it is the water movement from an area where its ( water ) concentration is higher to an area where its concentration is lower.
This process does not require any energy as water is moving along the concentration gradient.
Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
Other than Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), two carbon compounds found in plants are :-
- Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)
- Pyruvic Acid (C₃H₄O₃)
Answer:
The fate of glucose-6-phosphate,glycolytic intermediates and pentose phosphate pathways are described below
Explanation:
Fate of Glucose -6-phosphate
Glucose-6-phosphate undergo dephosphorylation to form glucose when there is an increase demand of glucose in the body.
Glucose-6-phosphate enters into pentose phosphate pathway to synthesize ribose-5-phosphate which is used during denovo pathway of purine nucleotide biosynthesis.
Fate of glycolytic intermediates
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate of glycolysis.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate act as a precursor during lipogenesis that deals with the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol.
Fate of pentose phosphate pathway intermediates
Ribose-5-phosphate and NADPH are the important intermediates of pentone phosphate pathway.
Ribose-5-phosphate act as a substrate molecule during the denovo biosynthesis pathway of purine nucleotides.
NADPH act as a reducing agent during fatty acid biosynthesis process.
When the structure and function of an organism adjusts to its environment it is adapting.
