Consider a scenario where a person eats a cupcake composed of glucose molecules. The person has digested the cupcake, and the gl

ucose has been absorbed into the bloodstream. Based on this information and your knowledge about biology, select true or false for each of the following statements.
a. Some of the energy stored in glucose will eventually be transformed into heat.
b. Carbon atoms from glucose could be exhaled by the person as carbon dioxide.
c. Carbon atoms from glucose could later be found in a plant cell.
d. Carbon atoms from glucose could be converted into oxygen during metabolism.

Answer: a.b.c-true.

              d-false.

a. Some of the energy stored in glucose will eventually be transformed into heat.

This is through  the process of Glycolysis (and Krebs's cycle )where the Carbon atoms in the glucose(substrate level phosphorylation) undergo metabolism with the liberation of ATPs as  heat during  metabolisms. The glucose serves as the substrate for the generation of heat.However,largest amount of ATP's  is expended as heat during oxidative phosphorylation,due to the glucose used as substrate in preceding stages of glycolysis and Kreb Cycle.

b. Carbon atoms from glucose could be exhaled by the person as carbon dioxide.

Yes, this is through glycoylsis and kreb's Cycle where  CO2 is given off as during metabolisms as one compound change from one form to another.E.g from Citric acid(6C) to Succinate(5C),some Carbon atoms are lost as C02. Like during glycolysis.

C. Carbon atoms from glucose could later be found in a plant cell.Yes this is because  the CO2 expired  by human could be trapped by green plants and react with water in the presence of sunlight trapped by chlorophyll to form carbohydrate in plants.This is photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Carbon can't not be converted to oxygen,big FALSE.

Which cells are responsible for the movement of photosynthates through a plant?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

sieve-tube elements, companion cells

Explanation:

Sieve-tube elements and companion cells are responsible for the movement of photosynthes through a plant.

The sieve tube elements are shorter (almost organelle-free) living cells, placed end to end, forming the sieve tubes. Their transverse cell walls are called sieve plaques that make connections between cells and through openings called sieves establish the connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.  Each sieve is coated with calose (glucose polymer), which in winter can completely clog the vessel and then dissolve in spring. When infections occur or the vessel is parasitized, it can also be clogged with callose.

Companion cells are specialized parenchymal cells, which contain all the components that exist in living cells, including the nucleus, are the cells most closely linked to the sieved tube element. The Screened Tube Element and its companion cells are related in development, are derived from the same mother cell, and have several cytoplasmic connections to each other. Due to the many connections, the potential function of the companion cells is to release substances into the sieved tube element and, when the nucleus is absent, to include information molecules, proteins and ATP. When a screened element dies, its companion cells also die, which is a demonstration of this interdependence.

How are energy inputs and outputs related to chemical reactions
GREYUIT [131]

The large number of areas covered by the chemical energetics can be explained by the different forms in which chemical energy can be released: heat and combustion work, electrical energy in electrochemistry, radiant energy in chemiluminescent systems.

The chemical energy provided by a reaction reflects the energy balance associated with the electronic modifications suffered by the species involved.

From an energy point of view, a chemical reaction between molecules can be schematized in two stages. The first requires a supply of energy and corresponds to the rupture of the bonds of the reactant molecules with release of the atoms which constitute them.

The second releases energy and concerns the creation, by recombination of these atoms, of new bonds entering the structure of the reaction molecules.

As a general rule, the energy released in the second stage is greater than the first. We are talking about exothermic reaction. The difference between these two energies (reaction enthalpy) measures the amount of chemical energy transferred to the external environment.

It is conceivable that this quantity translates, not only the number, but also the strength of the connections involved.
