The energy conversion system of most components evolved at a very early stage. This is why the fundamental aspects of energy metabolism is said to be similar to other organisms.
The chemical energy used by most organisms for metabolism and growth ultimately comes from _
ATP is a nucleotide that carries energy.
Adenosine-5-TriPhosphate (ATP)
The Sun
Yes, cellular metabolism converts glucose to carbon dioxide all the time, and this reaction is the source of chemical energy for all other chemical reactions in cells. It is the fundamental source of energy for most organisms (with hydro-thermal vent organisms being an exception).
false
A biologist would most likely study all the chemical activities of an organism to obtain information about the organisms metabolism. The organism gets energy from food through metabolism because the body's cells convert food into the energy needed to do everything from moving to thinking to growing.
Fat. More calories =more heat=more energy.
Nutrients important to human metabolism include the essential vitamins and minerals as well as a source of energy that is found in calories from sugar and fats.
Oxidative phosphorylation is necessary for most metabolic function. It is highly efficient and the primary means by which ATP is produced, which provides the energy for metabolism.
Copper is a necessary co-factor for several enzymes. Most of them have to do with energy production.
CH2O (glucose) is the most fundamental molecule metabolized by cells (in conjunction with Oxygen) for energy.
