What evolutionary advantage does compartmentalization of core metabolic processes offer eukaryotes?

Biology

Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Compartmentalization increases the efficiency of the process of cellular respiration, leading to higher energy production (ATP).  

Explanation:

In biology, compartmentalization refers to the formation of separate areas within the cell in order to carry out specific cellular functions more efficiently. In a cell, these compartments are usually delimited by lipid layer membranes. In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria (and also chloroplasts in plants) are the most important compartments in terms of metabolic processes. These organelles function to generate energy in the form of ATP by the process of cellular respiration. From an evolutionary perspective, compartmentalization increases the surface area that mitochondria use to generate energy ATP and provides a unique internal medium to carry out these metabolic reactions since oxidative phosphorylation, which the most important process in terms of energy generation, occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.

Glucose is an important biomolecule. Which of these statements is true regarding the movement of glucose into and out of cells?
Charra [1.4K]

II and IV are the true statements.

Explanation:

As the glucose molecules are too large it is not allowed by the cell membrane to pass through general diffusion. It requires "facilitated diffusion" to "move in and out" of the cell. In this passive mode of transport, the protein of carrier is used to pass the molecules through the membrane without using the energy of the cell rather the concentrate gradient provides energy to make the molecules move. This gradient allows the molecule to pass from high concentration area of the cell to the low concentration.

Porque se considera que los coacervados son los predecesores de los seres vivos?
Harman [31]

Answer:

These molecules share features in common with primordial forms of life

Explanation:

Coacervates are considered to be complex systems formed by the association of organic molecules. These systems are related to primitive forms of life due to the fact that they are formed by organic matter, molecules with opposite charges and hydrophobic polypeptide chains .
