Energy plus matter is sufficient for continued development of order, complexity or growth.
Hitman42 [59]
The order of processes of nature are towards greater entropy. This means towards greater disorder. These processes occurring in nature and surroundings involves a mass and an energy. The matter where mass is contained is the system and energy is the tool which changes and process occur. In this case, answer is true.

The ________ is the site where lipids, triglycerides, and steroids are synthesized, as well as where calcium is stored within th
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum differs from the rough endoplasmic reticulum in not having ribosomes on its surface. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) extends from the rough ER and forms a network of membrane tubules. The function of the smooth ER is to serve as a site for the synthesis of lipids, fatty acids, and steroids such as estrogens and testosterone.

Enzymes for the synthesis of these diverse biomolecules are present in smooth ER. The smooth ER present in the muscle cells is called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It stores the calcium ions which are released into the sarcoplasm of muscle cells during muscle contraction.

Comment on why do you think cells prefer to use carbohydrates as a source of energy before they use fats and proteins.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

This can be explained  based on structure, and on metabolisms of  carbohydrate.

Explanation:

Carbohydrate has a relatively simple structural composition than the  either protein or fatty acids. The C, H and Oxygen molecules are of  relatively fewer in number and few  chains than fats and protein.Thus  cells will spend less energy to break bonds(catabolisims) among these molecules during cellular respiration  pathways  to trap the energy.

In addition glucose the end products of carbohydrate did not need any processing before it enters glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation pathways to generate energy for the cells.

Conversely, for protein to be used it has to be first deaminated(removal of amino acid) by the liver  before it enters glycolysis,while fats needs to  be broken down and undergo beta oxidation   with the long chains removed  before it can  form acetyl CoA. Therefore cells will prefer few steps, less endergonic  pathways of glucose than longer more endergonic amino acids  and fatty acid pathways.

Furthermore, glucose can be used in cellular respiration to  produce energy either aerobically or anaerobically, while fats can only be used anaerobically. Therefore, since cells usually prefer to thrive in aerobic conditions they  breakdown glucose easily during this period, and when lack of oxygen occurs they switched to anaerobic, Thus, the versatility of glucose to oxygen concentration makes glucose a better choice. Besides if fats was used anaerobically, ketone bodies build up which may be toxic to the cells.

PLZ help ASAP!!!!!!!<br> WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR ONLY THE CORRECT ANSWER
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

DNA or RNA: Nucleic acid

Starches and sugars: Carbohydrates

Antibodies: Proteins

Can be utilized for energy if sugars are not available: Lipids

Hydrophobic part of the plasma membrane: Lipids

Glucose and sucrose: Carbohydrates

Explanation:

The DNA or RNA can be described as molecules made up of nucleic acids.

Carbohydrates can be described as biological molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. For example, starches, sugars, glucose, sucrose etc

Antibodies can be describe as a type of proteins which provide the body with immunity.

Lipids or fats are the alternative source of energy if carbohydrates are not present.

The hydrophobic tail of the plasma membrane is made up of fatty acid molecules which are lipids.
