Animals ( or plants ) store solar energy as chemical energy between atoms of their molecules.

For example : ATP is phosphate energy bonds stored by animals in their molecules.

For more stable form animals also store energy in carbon bonds called carbohydrates. The most common e carbohydrates are starch, sugar and fats. Animals have enzymes to convert these forms of energy into actual form which they use for their activities like move, run or fly.

Explain why organisms need enzymes to survive.

kotykmax [81]

Enzymes are catalysts in chemical reactions. What this means is that they speed up chemical reactions, which in turn means that all the actions necessary for our metabolisms occur as a result of catalysts. This goes from fighting illnesses and diseases to dissolving food. We couldn't live without them because our metabolisms would be so slow that we would die as nothing could work.

Explain how the structure of your fingers is related to their grasping function.

Karolina [17]

ANSWER:

The muscles and joints allow the hands to perform their function of holding and grasping a wide variety of things.

EXPLANATION:

The structure of hands is "very delicate and complex". The tendons, nerve fibres, tissues and thin muscles are located right under the skin.

The bones of the hand including the 4 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal and 14 finger bones are all connected by joints and ligaments and these allow the hand to grasp things.

The wrist is made of "two parts of a joint" that allow the extension and stretching of hands.
