What is contained within nutrient molecules?
starch and sugars
How does eubacteria and fungi are important in cycling of nutrient?
They are bio decomposers.Secrete extra cellular enzymes and breake macro organic molecules into inorganic molecules.
What are the products or wastes of cellular respiration?
The process of cellular respiration converts different types of nutrient energy into adenosine triphosphate, more commonly known as ATP. The nutrient energy comes from carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
What nutrient acts as helper molecules in many different chemicals reactions within the body?
Vitamins. They are known as co-enzymes.
A few bacteria are placed in a nutrient solution After several hours thousands of bacteria are present Which life activities are primarily responsible for this?
Digestion and movement .
What is the process called when food is broken down into small nutrient molecules?
cellular respiration
What nutrient is made up of glucose molecules?
Carbohydrates (:
What is contained within nutrient molecules?
starch and sugars
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the bloodstream through tiny structures called what?
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the through tiny structures called villi.
What sends nutrient molecules into blood?
The wall of the difestive system.
Small round structure that breaks down nutrient molecules?
No
What energy is heterotrophs required in?
nutrient molecules are broken down
How is the structure of the mitochondria useful for carrying out cell respiration?
Mitochondria have an inner and an outer membran. The outer membrane is smooth and is permeable to ions and nutrient molecules, and gives shape to the mitochondria. The inner membran have a unique "folded" structur (cristae, to increace the surface area since its responsble for the oxidative phosphorylation where it contains elektron-transport chain, the proton pumps and ATP synthase required for ATP production in its fluid (matrix). Matrix is composed of water and enzymes, where the nutrient molecules are combined with oxygen (respirated) which creates the chemical process by which energy is released.Having a very large surface area on the inside allows for many nutrient molecules to be consumed for energy at once. If the area where smaller, fewer instances of respiration could occur.
What are the organeles within cells where energy is released from nutrient molecules?
The mitochondria release energy from nutrient molecules and transform the energy into a usable form. They are one of the most important organelle in the cell.
What process of breaking down food into small nutrient molecules?
Digestion :)
What is the relationship between water and pants?
All plants need water for respiration and nutrient transport.
Which organ system functions is to convert food particles to nutrient molecules?
liver
