Answer:

Human gets energy from food molecules through the process of cellular respiration.

Explanation:

Digestion of food into simpler nutrients is carried out by digestive system. These nutrients are absorbed by blood and are carried to the cells. Cellular respiration is the process of oxidation of nutrients and release of energy stored in them. The released energy is stored in form of ATP. Hence, the process of cellular respiration retrieves energy from food and stored it into the chemical bonds of ATP.

Explanation:

The food we eat contains energy. This energy is taken by us through eating food. It is a natural process that all living things eat food to get energy for their living. The energy in the food is transferred to the bodies of the living things which in turns provide them energy.

When humans eat the food, the food is broken down in the human body through a process of digestion. This process breaks down food into small particles, releasing energy from them and providing it to the body, The food molecules release energy and the process of digestion takes these molecules , breaks them down, extract the energy and give it to human body. So this is how a human body gets energy from eating food

The drop in carbon dioxide in your blood that occurs when you hyperventilate is called hypocapnia. It signals a breakdown in the

daser333 [38]

Answer:

Blood cells

Explanation:

Hypocapnia refers to a situation whereby carbon dioxide is at a reduced level in the blood. This phenomenon is usually caused by deep/rapid breathing known as hyperventilation.

It signals a breakdown in the exchange of gases inside your blood cells where the stuff your body doesn’t want is swapped out for the stuff it desperately needs.

He diagram shows the genetic code, which cells use to translate a nucleotide sequence into an amino acid sequence in a protein.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

I believe it is A, but I could be wrong.

Explanation:

I think this, because when it says, "Other, less useful, versions of the genetic code were eliminated gradually throughout the course of evolution", I think it referencing to the fact that all animals and etc, are made up of common codes, and how over time, through evolution, certain codes were eliminated, because creatures were evolving.

The graphic shows the citric acid cycle. A diagram of the citric acid cycle is shown. Acetyl C o A enters the citric acid cycle

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule.

Explanation:

Acetyl-CoA(2C) associates with oxalacetate(4C) to form citric acid(6C). Then through redox reactions, CO2 molecules result from decarboxylation (COOH becomes R-(R1)CH-R2). And through dehydrogenation H2 molecules are incorporated in NADH+ in FADH2, resulting in the 4-carbon molecule at the beginning (oxalacetate). That's why it's called a cycle(Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle)
