Answer:
The repeating subunits of DNA are ribonucleotides whereas in RNA they are deoxyribonucleotides.
Explanation:
Ribonucleotides are repeating subunit of RNA while the deoxy-ribonucleotides are repeating subunits of DNA. That why RNA full form represent the ribonucleic acid and DNA represent deoxyribonucleic acid.
Actually the word "deoxy" means one oxygen is removed or less in DNA. The DNA lacks the one oxygen atom of hydroxyl group at carbon number two of ribose sugar. While RNA have the hydroxyl group at carbon number two of hydrogen atom.
The removal of one hydrogen atom in DNA make it more stable than RNA because DNA is made specifically to store genetic information and needed to be strong. The oxygen atom in RNA makes it vulnerable for attack by other biological molecules.
Answer:
Beginning with energy sources obtained from their environment in the form of sunlight and organic food molecules, eukaryotic cells make energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADH via energy pathways including photosynthesis, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
Cells have an organelle known as 'mitochondria' which has ATP molecules in it. These ATP molecules generates energy for the cell to function properly.
Cells need a source of energy, they get this energy by breaking down food molecules to release, the stored chemical energy.
This process is called 'cellular respiration'.
The process is happens in all the cells in our body.
Oxygen is used to oxidize food, main oxidized food is sugar(glucose).
