Compare and contrast a few aspects of animal and plant cells. You can focus on intra- and extracellular structures they share or don't share, but also be sure to describe processes they both utilize or don't both utilize. Some things to consider: How they obtain 'food' (what is their organic carbon source?) What structures do they share that prokaryotes lack? What do they share that all living cells also share? Do they use CO2, and/or O2 in any processes?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

Although they share some similarities because they are both eukaryotes, plant cells and animal cells are quite different from each other, which is logical since they have distinct lives.

For example, animal cells and plant cells both have a cell membrane, but only the plant cells have a cell wall - which is thick and resistant, and this makes sense because they are more exposed to mechanical and osmotic stress.

Since animals can move towards sources of water but plants cannot, there's also a way in which plants store water in the cells: vacuoles. Animal cells have vacuoles as well although they are much smaller than the single huge vacuole that plant cells have.

All living organisms need the energy to sustain different cellular processes. The organelle in charge of the chemical reactions behind the obtention of energy is the mitochondria, which is present in all cells, but the mitochondrion needs a specific substrate: glucose. Glucose is obtained in diverse ways: animals move and find food that contains glucose in it, while plants produce their own glucose with a specific process called photosynthesis, for which they need an organelle called chloroplast, which animals do not have. In order to transform the glucose into energy, the mitochondria end up generating CO2, which animals expel from their bodies by exhaling. This CO2, now in the air, is used by plant cells as a substrate in photosynthesis (which needs sunlight as well) to produce glucose and also O2, that will be inhaled by animals and used by their tissues.

All living organisms have one thing in common: they possess DNA. DNA contains all of the genetic information of an organism, and it is present in almost every cell of that organism -if it happens to be a multicellular being-. While prokaryotes have their DNA condensed into a single circular chromosome, eukaryotes like plants and animals, have their DNA form many linear chromosomes (quantity varies according to the species) and these chromosomes are inside a very specialized organelle: the nucleus, which prokaryotes do not have.

Why do you think the starch molecule shown is a good source of energy for an organism?

A. The many bonds in the starch molecule store energy.

B. The starch molecule is made of atoms.

C. Starch is the only type of molecule that provides energy.

D. A starch molecule is made of more than one kind of atom.

Please help! I suck at Science!

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

because it is known as a large molecule

The starch molecule is known as a good source of energy for an organism because the multiple bonds in the starch molecule are responsible for the storage of energy. Thus, the correct option for this question is A.

What is a Starch molecule?

A starch molecule may be defined as a type of molecule that significantly consists of a chain of glucose molecules that are bound together in order to construct a bigger molecule, which is called a polysaccharide.

There are two types of polysaccharides present in the molecules of starch. They are as follows:

Amylose: It is a linear chain of glucose. Amylopectin: It is highly a branched chain of glucose.

These long chains of glucose store a tremendous amount of energy during the synthesis of the starch molecules. Glucose provides instant energy while the breakdown of bonds in starch molecules takes time. So, the energy is liberated accordingly with a long-lasting effect.

Therefore, the multiple bonds in the starch molecule are responsible for the storage of energy. Thus, the correct option for this question is A.

how does tempature impact air movement?

Answers

Answer:

The heating of the earth, which in turn heats the atmosphere, is responsible for the motions and movements of the air in the atmosphere. The faster molecules move, the hotter the air. As the molecules heat and move faster, they are moving apart.

Explanation:

Answer:

As you move higher off the ground, it gets colder *and vice versa*.

Explanation:

When we move off the ground, density is pulled down to the ground due to gravity. Therefore, it gets colder. It's also because of our atmosphere. (Vice versa, of course)

P.S. Density and gravity are also key parts of climate change, keep that in mind.

How would you describe the difference in the motion of the sled from when the people first start pushing to when the sled is halfway down the hill?

Answers

The difference in the motion of the sled from when the people first start pushing to when the sled is halfway down the hill will be described as after starting off much more slowly, it picks up speed significantly by the bottom of the slope.

At the top of the hill, a sled has pushed itself. If we then apply a tiny push, the sled's initial speed will be 0, indicating that the sled's only starting energy is gravitational potential energy. Therefore, assuming there is no friction, the sled's greatest height will be equal to its initial brightness. So the slides will never make up for a bump that is higher than its starting point. The sled's highest point is equal to its initial height because of the rule of conservation of mechanical energy. The sled will never make it up if they restrict it if the friction is seated.

a. A scheme of cellular respiration. At box A, which is located in the cytosol, glucose turns into pyruvate with release of ATP and electrons carried by NADH.

b. Pyruvate from this stage is used in a cycle in box B, which is located in the mitochondrion.

c. As a result, ATP, CO2, and electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 are released.

d. The electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 from boxes A and B are used in box C (inside the mitochondrion) for transformation of a substance marked D (that comes from the cytosol) into a substance marked E (released to the cytosol) with release of ATP.

Answers

Answer:

The process occurring in Box A is Glycolysis

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the pathway by which glucose, a six-carbon molecule is oxidized to molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon molecule with the release of ATP and electrons which are carried by NADH molecules.

The process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and requires 10 glycolytic enzymes.

The pyruvate molecules from glycolysis is first oxidized to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide molecules. The acetyl-CoA molecules enter the citric acid cycle occurring in the mitochondria and are used up in the production of  ATP, CO2, and electrons carried by NADH and FADH2.

The electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 from glycolysis and citric acid cycle are used in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway occurring inside the mitochondrion for transformation of oxygen molecules into water molecules with release of ATP.

The pickup truck is the only vehicle accelerating.

Explanation:

Acceleration refers to the change in velocity per unit time which means that when the velocity changes, acceleration will be produced and if there is constant velocity of a vehicle so the acceleration will be zero. All three vehicles have same velocity of 15 m/s but the truck has no uniform velocity which means acceleration is produced in the truck while no acceleration is formed by three vehicles.
