In cellular respiration is the process of extracting energy in the form of ATP from the glucose in the food you eat. In stage one glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm of the cell in a process call glycolysis. In stage two the pyruvate molecules are transported into the mitochondria
Answer: True
Explanation: The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is responsible for about 75% of our calorie expenditure daily. The Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy expenditure rate per unit time by humans or animals at rest. it is the amount of energy per unit of time that we need to keep the body functioning daily even when at rest. Some of these processes that occur even when we are at rest includes blood circulation, brain function, regulation of body temperature, nerve function, cell growth and breathing.

Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. ...
Mechanical energy is energy stored in objects by tension. ...
Nuclear energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom—the energy that holds the nucleus together.

Hypotheis:
<em>If high amounts of product in the samples, '+++' , correlates with optimal temperatures and pH for enzyme activity, then...</em>
- <u>A- Pepsin</u>
- <u>B- Amylase </u>
- <u> C- thermophilic enzyme</u>
Explanation:
Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as biological catalysts- <u>they speed up chemical reactions.</u> As proteins, these are susceptible to changes in temperature and pH- they function best at optimal values for both conditions, but can be denatured, rendering them inactive at relative extremes.
Each enzyme provided has its own optimal temperature and pH values.
- Thermophilic enzymes are usually found in regions characterized by high temperatures. They show high thermostability, and do not become denatured at high temperatures- they thrive, and do not function well at lower temperatures.
- Amylase is a hydrolase digestive enzyme found in the mouth, that acts on polysaccharides like starch to break 1,4 glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules. It works best at a physiological (neutral) pH and temperatures (around 37°)
- Pepsin, another digestive enzyme, is a peptidase that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. It is found in the stomach lining, where the pH is typically low i.e. acidic due to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices.
Thus from the table A- pepsin, B- Amylase and C- thermophilic enzyme can be hypothesized.
Enzyme speed up chemical reaction by lowering activation rates
