Proteins and carbohydrates have many functions in the body of an organism. Specific proteins and carbohydrates perform specific

tasks. Information about
a protein and a carbohydrate is given below.

Ferritin

Ferritin is a protein containing Iron, which is

needed by all living things. Iron is found

In hemoglobin and in cytochromes, which

function in metabolism. Free iron can

damage proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Glycogen

Glycogen is a carbohydrate that consists of

glucose molecules. It can be hydrolyzed as

glucose as needed by an organism.

How are ferritin and glycogen similar in their primary functions for an organism?

O Both store materials needed by the organism.

Both store energy used by the organism.

Both support the structure of the organism.

O Both store information for the organism.

Answer:

Both store materials needed by the organism.

Explanation:

Proteins and carbohydrates are two biomolecules present in living organisms. They perform varying functions in the body of an organism. According to this question, a specific protein (ferritin) and carbohydrate (glycogen) is described.

Ferritin is a protein molecule containing Iron (Fe). Iron is needed by living organisms as it plays a vital role in organism's metabolism. On the other hand, glycogen is a carbohydrate molecule that is made up of glucose molecules, needed by living organisms.

Based on the description of the two biomolecules provided, they are similar in their primary functions for an organism in the sense that THEY BOTH STORE MATERIALS (glucose and iron) NEEDED BY AN ORGANISM.

Aneli [31]
Explain that water moves down a water potential gradient, and the salt solution has a lower water potential than the vacuole so water leaves the vacuole through osmosis

In exam Q's key points are:
- Water potential gradient
- Higher water potential in vacuole
- Leaves through osmosis

Sodium is an underconsumed nutrient<br> True<br> False
shtirl [24]
I think the statement is false. Sodium is present in table salt (Sodium chloride) that everyone consumes daily in almost every meal. For example the three students that are under consumed by many Americans  women are folic acid, calcium and iron. Sodium intake in America is so excessive, more than 75% of the sodium Americans eat comes from some processed, prepackaged and restaurant foods.
