Answer:

All organisms are made of four types of carbon-based molecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.  

Enzymes are mainly protein molecules in cells which work as biological catalysts. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in the body, but do not get used up in the process, therefore can be used over and over again. With an enzyme, chemical reactions go much faster than they would without the enzyme.

Enzymes are biological molecules (typically proteins) that significantly speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells. They are vital for life and serve a wide range of important functions in the body, such as aiding in digestion and metabolism.

Different types of enzymes can break down different nutrients:

amylase and other carbohydrase enzymes break down starch into sugar.

protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids.

lipase enzymes break down lipids (fats and oils) into fatty acids and glycerol.

Trava [24]
(A) The structure is the cell wall. The cell wall protects the cell from damage. It is also there to make the cell strong, to keep its shape.

(B) Structure Z is a chloroplast. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun and turn it in to sugars that can be used by the cells. This process is also called photosynthesis.

(C) Since chloroplasts create sugar for a plant cell, fungi has mitochondria. Fungi uses mitochondria which create ATP (also know as Adenosine Triphosphate) which is energy. Therefore, fungi doesn’t need chloroplasts.

What are some positive effects humans can have on nitrogen cycle
inn [45]

Answer:

Scientists have determined that humans are disrupting the nitrogen cycle by altering the amount of nitrogen that is stored in the biosphere. The chief culprit is fossil fuel combustion, which releases nitric oxides into the air that combine with other elements to form smog and acid rain.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

A is incorrect because B is correct (plants are autotrophs).

C is incorrect because the first stage of cellular respiration is glycolysis, and the second is the Krebs cycle, neither of which require oxygen.

D is incorrect because cells take in oxygen to perform cellular respiration. Carbon dioxide is the product.
