Answer:

<u>D. Eating and breaking apart food releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.</u>

Explanation:

In the chloroplasts of plants, photosynthesis occurs. Here in the form of stable carbohydrates, solar energy is transformed into chemical energy.

The fundamental compounds and macromolecules available are nutrients for a variety of metabolic processes. In heterotrophic nutrition, animals get energy by consuming organic matter such as lipids, fats and proteins.

For all metabolic processes, animals use carbohydrates as food. This occurs in the mitochondria...

C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

Glucose + Oxygen  Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light

Alcoholism results in the inability of liver cells to properly digest proteins. Which of the following organelles is most likely
dangina [55]
Cells are made up smaller units called organelles that undertake various critical roles in the activities of the cell. Some of these organelles include, mitochondria whose major function is formation and production of energy in the form of ATP, Ribosome is an organelle involved in the protein synthesis, lysosome is involved in the destruction of old and worn out tissues and organelles, Golgi apparatus or complex helps in transportation, modification and packaging of secretions such as proteins and lipids. Therefore, alcoholism affects the activity of lysosomes in the liver since they are tasked in the digestion of proteins using hydrolytic enzymes.
