Answer:

ATP

Explanation:

The reason we eat is to obtain energy, however, the body needs to convert the energy in these food molecules to a form it can use. The process of doing this is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. Cellular respiration, which is a metabolic (catabolic) process common to all living things, is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) or without (anaerobic) resulting in the release of Carbondioxide (CO2), water, and ATP (high energy molecule). Cellular respiration occurs in the cytosol of prokaryotes and in the cytosol and mitochondria of eukaryotes.

The energy stored in the glucose molecule is transferred to Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the chemical energy our body cells can use. Aerobic cellular respiration consists of Glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation (ETC and Chemiosmosis), where a total of 38 ATP and 36 ATP molecules are produced in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells respectively.

Energy is stored in the bonds between the phosphate groups (PO4-) of the ATP molecule. When ATP is broken down into ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) and Pi (inorganic phosphate), the energy is released.

Different between the mass and the weight of an object.

Bumek [7]

There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg.

During the light reactions, the pigments and proteins of ____________ use light to send energized electrons through an electron

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is - photosystem II; ATP; water; oxygen

Explanation:

The photosynthesis process involves two different cycles known as the light reaction and the dark reaction. In light reaction there are two photosystems; photosystem I and photosystem II.

During light reaction, there are several pigments such as chlorophyll a and other pigments present in photosystem II that trap the light and transfer excited electrons through ETC to produce ATP which is a form of energy used by cells.

A water molecule takes place of the excited electron that is transferred and releases oxygen as waste or byproduct in this reaction.
