How is energy released by fats and carbohydrates and proteins?
metabolism
How energy from the sun is transferred through organisms?
First, energy from the sun is used to combine CO2 and water to make carbohydrates. The carbohydrates have stored energy that is released when the carbohydrates are broken down. When animals eat the plant and break down the carbohydrates, they receive energy. In turn, carnivores that eat those animals receive energy from the fats and proteins in their prey.
What does the word rhizodeposits mean?
The rhizosphere contains many bacteria that obtain nutrients (proteins and sugars released by the roots)and food from sloughed off plant cells (rhizodepositation).
What happens when a biological organic compound such as proteins and carbohydrates are broken down or synthesized?
They are broken down into simpler molecules by the digestive system so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
What is the main role for proteins?
Intrinsic proteins are the integral proteins inside the plasma membrane, or phospholipid bilayer, of a cell. The reason they are called intrinsic is because they cannot be released unless the membrane is disrupted.
Why lipids have such a high energy content?
The high energy density (i.e. the relatively large amount of energy released per unit of mass) of fat stores is due to three main factors. 1) The completely reduced carbons of fatty acids have a higher energy content than the partially oxidized carbons of carbohydrates and proteins. 2) The fortuitous fact that the reduced carbons have covalent bonds to light atoms (hydrogen rather than to the heavier oxygen) means that the fully reduced hydrocarbon compounds are lighter than the partially oxidized carbohydrates. 3) Lipids are hydrophobic molecules and therefore fat stores contain little water, which would add to the weight of the molecules without adding to the energy content. Hope that helps.
What does mitochondria change food into?
Glucose is oxidized into CO2.Released energy is stored in ATP.
How is the energy and nutrients stored in dead organisms released?
All living organisms eventually dir. Their bodies are composed of complete compounds like carbohydrates, lipids and proteins that they stored when they were alive. Two groups of organisms called the decomposers and detritivores obtain the food or energy from the remains of the dead organsims. As they feed on the dead organisms they cause their decay or devomposition. They help in the recycling of nutrients since they return the nutrients trapped in the dead organisms back to the environment. The nutrients become available again to living organism.
What are compelx carbohydrates?
Complex carbohydrates are carbohydrates which are released at a slower rate, therefore giving the body energy over a prolonged period of time. Examples of complex carbohydrates are whole grain breads, rice, and pasta.
What are the nutrients and the materials cells take in and products that are released during photosynthesis?
What are the nutrients and the materials cells take in and products that are released during photosynthesis?
Is energy released when a liquid changes to a solid?
Yes. Carbohydrates.
When a molecule of glucose is completely oxidized its six carbon atoms are changed into?
Carbon atoms from a complex organic food molecule, such as glucose, are completely oxidized at the end of its reaction chain. Carbon dioxide is the waste that is released as a result of this reaction.
