Answer: a.  only autotrophs can convert solar energy into chemical energy

Energy must flow through autotrophs because they take the energy from the sun, then herbivores feed off the autotrophs converting energy from the plant into energy that they can use. Carnivores then feed off the herbivores, and finally carnivores feed off of each other, and the process starts over again. Heterotrophs only generate a small fraction of their energy through photosynthesis, making autotrophs very important.

Which of the following best describes the main purpose of the combined processes of glycolysis and cellular respiration?1 breaki

Answer:

4. transforming the energy in glucose and related molecules in a chemical form that cells can use for work

Explanation:

Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate which is transformed into acetyl CoA to enter the Kreb's cycle. Kreb's cycle breakdown the acetyl CoA into CO2 and H2O. The energy stored in the glucose molecule is released during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. The released energy is stored in the form of NADH and FADH2 as well as in few molecules of ATP.

The NADH and FADH2 enter the final step of cellular respiration, the oxidative phosphorylation. Here, NADH and FADH2 are oxidized with the help of electron transport chain (ETC). During the transfer of electrons through ETC, the proton motive force is generated which then helps in ATP synthesis.

Hence, the three steps of cellular respiration (glycolysis + Kreb's cycle + oxidative phosphorylation) retrieve the energy from nutrients such as glucose and store it in the form of ATP. ATP is used by cells as an energy source for various other functions.

For question 1:
Look at the graph. In the beginning we start out with a feed of 75% wheat and 25% corn. The weight of the pig is 40. Look at the rest of the graph. Each time they lessen the amount of wheat the pigs eat and add more corn, they get heavier. By the end, the pigs are fed a blend of 25% wheat and 75% corn and they weigh 61 pounds. The answer would be C.
