The purpose of the digestive system is to break down food into simple molecules that the cells of the body can use. 

Food is broken down  into its simplest units called monomers. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol while carbohydrates are broken down into glucose units.

Glucose is taken in by the cells of the body and through the process of cellular respiration  is used to produce the ATP, the form of energy that cells use. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells use glucose to produce energy to power their functions.

<h3>WHAT IS PHOTOSYNTHESIS?</h3>

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants obtain their food using energy from sunlight.

The food molecules are in the form of an organic compound called glucose. The glucose is the source of energy for living cells.

This means that if a plant cell is unable to produce glucose, the plant will likely die because there is no source of energy for metabolic activities.

The Energetics of Coupled Transport
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. False - A symporter system requires that one of the molecules to be transported using passive transport.

B. True - The Na+ will move down the established concentration gradient releasing energy to facilitate movement of sucrose against its concentration gradient. This is known as secondary active transport.

C.  False -  sucrose moves through ion channels not by diffusion to better control its movement across the membrane.

D. True - Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient thus requiring energy input is known as active transport.

E. False - One of the molecules needs to be moving against its concentration gradient.

F. False - A Uniporter system allows the binding and transport of a single molecule at a time. A symporter allows simultaneous binding and transport of Na+ and sucrose molecules.

Thx for ur helps peeps
salantis [7]
A group of similar (accoding to function) types of cells, when comes together to perform a specific function, then it forms a tissues.
When a group of similarly working tissues come together then they form an organ.


And this relation could be written as

cell > tissue > organ

So, organ is a collection of tissues and tissues are collection of cells.
