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.

Name one molecule that DOES NOT pass through the cell membrane easily

stellarik [79]

Answer:

glucose

Explanation:

Small nonpolar molecules, such as O2 and CO2, are soluble in the lipid bilayer and therefore can readily cross cell membranes. Small uncharged polar molecules, such as H2O, also can diffuse through membranes, but larger uncharged polar molecules, such as glucose, cannot.

Does the stroma nd the thylakoid membranes have the same function in the chloroplast

IrinaK [193]

No they do not have the same process but they are very close and work in function with each other

The Stroma is the colorless fluid surrounding the grana (or Granum) and enzymes in the process of photosynthesis is embeded in the stroma and also the thylakoid membranes

Thylakoids are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Thylakoids consist of a thylakoid membrane surrounding a thylakoid lumen. They normally stack up in stacks called Granum and the Stroma surrounds

Which molecules in your body do not contain carbon atoms

AnnyKZ [126]

Inorganic compounds essential to human functioning include water, salts, acids, and bases. These compounds are inorganic; that is, they do not contain both hydrogen and carbon.
