Which of the following statements about metabolism are true? 1) Catabolism is the process in which complex substances are broken

down, yielding a net output of energy. 2) Metabolism is an integrated system in which many of the same reactions participate in degradative (catabolic) and biosynthetic (anabolic) pathways. 3) Anabolism involves the synthesis of polymeric biomolecules and complex lipids from monomers such as fatty acids and nucleotides. 4) All organisms require an external source of energy, such as glucose or sunlight, for metabolic energy.

Answer:

the answer is  1), 2) and 3)

Explanation:

Metabolism can be defined as all the chemical reactions inside a cell that are required to carry out cellular functions (e.g., reproduction, growth, development). The metabolic reactions can be divided into anabolic and catabolic reactions. Anabolic reactions refer to metabolic reactions that require energy in order to construct new molecules from smaller ones (i..e., biosynthesis). Anabolism comprises endergonic metabolic pathways which are fueled by the use of energy (e.g., cellular ATP). On the other hand, catabolic reactions refer to metabolic reactions where larger molecules are separated to form smaller ones. Catabolic reactions are exergonic because they do not require energy (for example, reactions involved in cellular respiration).

Which component of the signal transduction pathway in rod cells is found in the cytosol of the cell?
andrew-mc [135]
The correct answer is cGMP retinal rhodopsin traduction.
Signal transduction is the cellular which comments on signal to another. An ordered sequence of the biochemical reaction is needed for signal transduction processes to take place which leads to cellular response. Some of the signal transduction are 
(i) Desensitization of signals
(ii)  Amplification of constant signals
(iii)  A specification of cues
(iv)  Integration of multiple signals.

Some of the components of signal transduction pathway are 
Signal, machinery that translates and amplifies to cell response, and receptor for the message.

Compare and contrast the two types of bonds
stepan [7]

Answer:

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding between two non metallic atoms which is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and other covalent bonds.

Explanation:

There are two types of atomic bonds - ionic bonds and covalent bonds. They differ in their structure and properties. Covalent bonds consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms in a fixed orientation. Relatively high energies are required to break them (50 - 200 kcal/mol). Whether two atoms can form a covalent bond depends upon their electronegativity i.e. the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself. If two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity - as sodium and chloride do - then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. This results in a positively charged ion (cation) and negatively charged ion (anion). The bond between these two ions is called an ionic bond.

Describe two biologically important features of diffusion
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Diffusion is the process in which movement of molecules take place from their higher concentration to their lower concentration. It is an important biological process in any living organism. Two of these are:
1. It allows the exchange of molecules within the organism and with the environment. For example: gaseous exchange in the alveoli of the lungs.
2. It also regulates water content in the body.
