Explain why macromolecules (food) and water are essential to life at the cellular level. Consider the equation Food + Water + x

= Life, what additional factor (x) would you add? Explain why you consider that this factor is essential to life.

Nataliya [291]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = oxygen

Explanation:

Food and water is essential to life at cellular level because this water is responsible for making food with the help of CO2 during photosynthesis in plant and this food provides energy to the cell and support the life of plant cell. In an animal cell, H2O helps in releasing waste product from cell and provide a medium for reactions to occur.

Apart from food and water oxygen is also required to support life because oxygen is required by cells to oxidize food and release energy from food so this energy is used to perform metabolic function of cells that support cell life.

The long “tail” on a detergent molecule is made up mostly of carbon atoms bonded to other carbon atoms. Why would you expect the
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Detergents are amphilic in nature having hydrophilic head (Polar) and hydrophobic long tail (non-polar).  The nonpolar hydrophobic tail is mostly made up of of carbon atoms bonded to other carbon atoms.

Tail plays a very important function of detergent by break down the surface tension that exists between grease and water. The tail is required to be non-polar because it attaches to fat (grease) or dirt and repels water molecules and form micelle, which get rinse of with detergent. The non-polar end then move towards the surface and weakens the hydrogen bonds in water, which breaks the break in the surface tension of the water.

Hence, tail of detergent is required to be nonpolar to function by break down the surface tension that exists between grease and water and do the proper cleansing of clothes.

<h2>Cell Cycle </h2>

Explanation:

Eukaryotes grow and divide by cell cycle.

The main parts of a cell cycle are an ordered series of events – Gap 1 or G1 phase, Synthesis or S phase, Gap 2 or G2 phase, and the mitosis or M phases.  

Interphase period (G1, S, G2 phases) - cell grows by size, duplicates its content, replicates its DNA, and finally prepares for mitotic cell division .

Mitosis and cytokinesis - formation of two identical daughter cells

Cell cycle is regulated by regulatory or restrictive checkpoints in the cell cycle which are activated with detection of a defective DNA.

Proliferation of undesired or cells with defective DNA like in case of tumor cells is controlled by the action of suppressing agents like p53 and cyclins.

The tumor suppressor gene protein p53 prohibits division of tumor cells. Cyclins regulate cell cycle by activation of the enzyme cyclin-dependent kinase.
