Answer:  Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs.

Explanation:

What Is Main Purpose of Protein in Living Things?

Muscle Mass. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Cell Formation. Every cell in your body has some protein in it.

Tissue Maintenance and Repair. You need protein to help your body repair cells and create new ones.

Provide an example of how cells balance the redox potential between different cellular components?

En la respiración celular, la célula depende totalmente de las reacciones Redox, para ser precisos de la reducción del NAD a NADH y la oxidación de NADH a NAD.

Ahora veamos una situación diferente.

En la fotosíntesis, ocurre la reacción inversa de redox, como se muestra en la siguiente ecuación:

6CO2 + 6H2O + E --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

La energía biológica se almacena y se lanza con la frecuencia por medio de reacciones redox. La fotosíntesis implica la reducción del CO2 en azucares y la oxidación del H2O en oxigeno molecular (O2), mientras que en la respiración es lo inverso, la oxidación de azucares a CO2 y H2O.

Entre los pasos redox de la fotosíntesis, compuestos deducidos del CO2 reducen el NAD lo que crea entonces, la creación gradiente de protones, que conduce a la síntesis del ATP y es mantenida por la oxidación del O2.

En los seres vivos, el término redox se utiliza para describir el equilibrio NAD-NADH y NADP-NADPH.

El estado redox contribuye al equilibrio de los sistemas metabólicos. En el caso de alteraciones en las reacciones redox, puede producirse HIPOXIA, que es el déficit del O2 en la sangre, CHOQUE, que es el mal circulamiento de lal sangre y la SEPSIS.

Which branch of the autonomic nervous system (ans) mobilizes the body during extreme situations, such as rage or fear?
Shalnov [3]
There are two branches of the autonomic nervous system, namely the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous systems. Both of which regulates bodily functions involuntarily but in different manners. The parasympathetic system is the system primarily activated in "relaxed" states or "rest and digest" states. These include digestion, urination, slowing of heart rate, slowing of respiratory rate, etc. The sympathetic nervous system on the other hand is primarily activated by "flight or flight" response such as rage or fear. These include inhibition of digestion, increase in heart rate and respiratory rate, sweating, etc.
