1 answer:
Triss [41]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - glucose is broken down into cellular energy (ATP).

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the double membrane cell organelle presents in all eukaryotic cells that produce the energy by the process of cellular respiration from the food to the cell to perform its day to day functions.

The cellular respiration is the process that involves the braking of the sugars into simple molecules and these catabolic reaction produce energy with CO2 and water as waste. The energy is stored in the form of ATP which is generated in the inner membrane of mitochondria. ATP is used by the cell to perform its function.

Thus, the prower house of the cell is mitochondria.

Compare and contrast the function and structure of a compound light micrscope and electron micscrope
galben [10]
The major difference between a light microscope and a electron microscope would be that with the light microscope, a beam of light is used to focus the image. In an electron microscope, a beam of electrons is used to focus the image. Other notable differences would be with the light microscope, your specimens must be very thin; thin enough for light to pass through them. With the EM, you can place whole specimens that can generate 3D images. There is a much more complex specimen preparation process for the EM, where light microscope slide making is fairly simple in comparison. You can view live and wet specimens with a light microscope but you cannot with the EM because an EM requires specimens to be placed in a vacuum chamber. Lastly, the EM is very large and complex to operate, where the light microscope is somewhat portable. Hope this helps!

North Carolina ranks second in production of Christmas trees in the United States. Scientists in North Carolina are developing a
mixer [17]
That would be beneficial to them because they wouldn't lose as many trees to disease or insects, so they are able to sell more.
That's what I got from it at least.

If a bowler rolls a bowling ball at a constant speed, would the force increase if he or she changes the weight of the ball? Expl
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

This is what we call Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

If the bowler is rolling a ball, let's say 5 LBS, It should travel at normal speed.

The speed is also dependent on how the bowler throws the ball.

If they were to change the weight of the ball. It would most likely slow the ball down more, as it would be too heavy to go as fast if it was a lightweight ball.

It's like a person. The bigger and heavier they are, the slower they will move with their own consecutive speed. If they are lighter, they'll most likely go faster
