The correct answer is D.
Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose molecules are broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy in form of ATP, water and carbon dioxide are also given off as the by products of the reaction. Thus, for cellular respiration to occur, the raw materials that are needed are glucose and oxygen while the products of the reaction that are formed are energy, water and carbon dioxide. Living organisms used the energy produced to carry out life sustaining activities of the cells.
Ans.
Protein synthesis involves formation of proteins, during which information present in DNA is used to make polypeptide chains. Hence, amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain is determined by the sequence that may differ in different species having proteins with same amino acid sequence.
Thus, the molecules that are used to compare different species with proteins having exact same amino acid sequences are DNA molecules.
Protein synthesis includes two steps, transcription and translation. During transcription, DNA gets converted into RNA by RNA polymerase enzyme, while during translation, RNA provides information to make proteins.
In RNA information is present as triplets of nucleotides, known as codon. Each code codes for a specific amino acid. There are a total of 64 codons, while number of protein-forming amino acids is 20. Hence, one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon and this property of codons is known as degeneracy of codons.
Thus, two species may have the same protein even if their DNA molecules are different because of degeneracy of codons.
Without it, there are no stars, including our own sun, and there wouldn’t be us talking about it.
It is used in particularly destructive bombs.
At a tiny scale, it can be used to produce neutrons, eg, a Farnsworth Fusor.
At a large scale, we have yet to figure out how to make controlled fusion work in a way that runs for a long time and generates collectible power we can use to feed the process. This has remained elusively 20 years out from the current state of affairs for 50 years.
If it was made to work, then it would probably be a good source of clean energy that would be safer than many of the non-renewable alternatives.
I don’t expect to live to see it happen.
The answer is B, carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are the first choice of the energy source of your body, they can be broken down into simple and soluble compounds such as glucose. These can be used by cells for respiration to generate energy for activities such as growth, movement, repair etc. Besides using for respiration, they are also capable of forming cell structures such as cellulose.
