Answer:

False

"The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".

Explanation:

The food we eat undoubtedly contains energy. This energy is stored in the bonds of the molecules that make up the food. However, the food undergoes the process of digestion to yield glucose (a sugar). This glucose sugar is used in the process of CELLULAR RESPIRATION to synthesize a form of chemical energy usable by cells called ATP.

ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is a molecule that stores chemical energy in living cells. It is the molecule that directly powers all of our cellular activities. Hence, the statement in this question is FALSE. The correct statement should be "The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".

Mitosis is unnecessary because there is no nucleus or multiple chromosomes. This type of cell division is called binary fission.

explain how nitrogen atoms are transferred from dead mustard plants materisl into new marigold seedlings
liberstina [14]
Dead mustard plants disintegrate into the soil And the worms in the soil see it and are like woah man let’s fricking rave! So these worms rave until the riff of dawn and the air gets so dense it just turns into nitrogen. The rave vibes were so lit that the nitrogen had this gold ora to it. The worms gathered it all and in a way, molded it into a seedling. They were like “ we gonna name it marigold cuz we had a pretty merry good time”. So yea science is wild isn’t it?
