carbohydrates?
Biology

-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
7 0

Answer;

-Ability to catalyze biochemical reactions

Explanation;

-Carbohydrates and proteins are very important macromolecules that the body needs in significantly larger quantities together with lipids, as compared to other nutrients like vitamins or minerals, for a healthy life.

-Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and they are required by the human body as an energy source, while are organic compounds made up of interlinked chains of amino acids, which consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Apart from the structure and element composition, carbohydrates and proteins differ in a number of ways, these includes; carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel that enables it to function, proteins are the building blocks of the body.

Carbohydrates are needed by the body to make it run and function, while we need proteins to keep our muscles and glands healthy. Additionally, proteins have the ability to catalyze biochemical reactions a major feature that differentiates it from carbohydrates and other macromolecules.

Which is a type of star system? dim stars solar system planets wobbling stars globular clusters
pshichka [43]

Globular clusters is a type of star system where the stars are tightly bounded by gravity.

<h3>What is a star system?</h3>

A star system can be defined as small number of stars that orbit around each other and are bound by gravitational force of attraction.

It is also called a stellar system.

Globular clusters is a type of star system with the following features;

  • It is composed of hundreds or thousands of low-metal old stars.                                    
  • Stars are similar to those in the spiral galaxy
  • Stars are tightly bound by gravity.

Hence, globular clusters is a type of star system.

The binding of the neurotransmitter to receptors on the motor end plate causes which of the following to occur?
lutik1710 [3]

The correct answer is: Binding of the neurotransmitter causes chemically gated sodium channels to open in the motor end plate (junctional folds of the sarcolemma) and sodium enters the cell.

Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the voltage-gated channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells. Neurotransmitter ACh binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell). Depolarization occurs because sodium enters the cell as a result of neurotransmitter receptor binding.

Which is a component of a phospholipid?
krek1111 [17]
Phospholipids are made up of fatty acids, glycerol, and phosphate.

If you're referring to the structure of a phospholipid, they are composed of a water-loving (hydrophilic) head and a water-fearing (hydrophobic) tail. The tail is made up of long chains of hydrogen and carbon molecules as well.

During aerobic respiration, electrons travel downhill in which sequence?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a slow process which produces energy from the oxidation of food components which could be glucose, fatty acids and proteins.

The process proceeds in four steps: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.

The energy molecules are produced when a high energy electron gets reduced and the released energy is stored in the form of energy molecules which could be ATP or energy equivalents like NADH and FADH₂.

These reducing equivalents donate its electrons during electron transport chain where the electrons flow to the last electron acceptor called oxygen.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
