Answer:

BLOSUM

Explanation:

A substitution matrix is a matrix used in bioinformatics (and also in computational biology) to determine/estimate the rate at which one character -which is specified by a nucleotide sequence in nucleic acid alignments or by one amino acid in protein alignments-, changed to another character during the course of the evolution. The BLOcks SUbstitution Matrix (popularly known as BLOSUM) is a substitution matrix used to score one amino acid for another in a protein alignment. The BLOSUM substitution matrix is particularly useful to compare evolutionarily conserved regions between protein sequences and thus score their alignments, where each entry is indicated by a similarity score between two amino acids.

solniwko [45]
Cellular respiration is also a catabolic process because it breaks the small molecules from digestion into even smaller ones as ATP is created. These are both very important processes, because ATP is what your cells use to produce body heat, move your muscles, and other essential bodily functions.
