Biology
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
4 0

The right answer is glycolysis (anaerobic respiration).

The red blood cell is a cell that does not require much energy to live, it is content with anaerobic glycolysis. This may seem paradoxical, because the red blood cell is rich in oxygen due to its transport by hemoglobin, but the red blood cells saves energy consumption so as not to draw oxygen and transport the maximum of it.

The red blood cell must produce energy for 2 main purposes:

Maintain the integrity of the membrane,.

Maintain Hb in its active form.

ycow [4]
Steroids
are complex structure four connected rings of carbon atoms. They are cholesterol which is in all body cells and used to synthesize other steroids:sex hormones, such as estrogen, and testosterone and several hormones from the adrenal glands.

Waxes
are comprised of an ester of a long-chain alcohol and a fatty acid. Many plants have leaves and fruits with wax coatings to help prevent water loss.

Phospholipids
consist of Glycerol portion and fatty acid chains. Only two fatty acids chains; in place of the third is portion that include a phosphate group. THe phosphate portion is soluble in water [hydrophobic] forms the ''head'' of the molecule, while the fatty acids portion is insoluble in water [hydrophobic] and forms a ''tail''.

Fats
to store energy for cellular activities. Carbohydrates fat molecules are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
