What else can I help you with?
Protein store energy?
Protein can provide energy, but this is extremely inefficient. This is due to the fact that the energy it takes to make it usable as energy is almost as much as the energy it provides.
What type of transportation takes place when a protein allows an ion to enter a cell but no additional energy is needed?
facilitated
What are the four types transport mechanisms of drugs?
There are four types of transport mechanisms of drugs.1) Passive transfer includes A)Simple diffusion, means from higher concentration to lower concentration. B) Through Filtration, means through small pore in membrane. 2) Carrier mediated transport includes A) Active transport, in witch a carrier protein takes in a drug molecule with spending energy. B) Facilitated diffusion, by witch carrier protein molecule takes in the drug without spending energy and come back to take another drug molecule inside the cell.
What is a cells mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the cells source of energy. I believe that it takes protein and turns it into energy for the cell.
What plays a key role in manufacture of proteins?
The main participants in protein manufacturing are mRNA molecule (carrier of the "message" to be translated), the ribosomes (where translation process takes place), tRNA molecule (carrier of new amino acid molecules to be attached to the growing protein chain), and multiple enzymes.
What insulin production is the responsibility of?
It takes sugar in the blood into muscle to be burned as energy.
Why is sugar addictive?
Sugary foods provide lots of energy in a form that our bodies can quickly use. We need energy to live and breathe and even to sleep. Sugar has 4 kcalories of energy in every gram which is about 20 kcalories in a teaspoon of sugar. Protein and complex carbohydrates also have 4 kcalories of energy in every gram, and fat contains 9 kcalories. But our bodies take longer to digest these, so the energy takes longer to get to us. Sugar energy is almost immediate. It's easy to consume more energy than we need because sugar is added to so many foods and drinks. When your body has more sugar than it needs for energy it begins to convert the sugar into body fat and stores it. So if you don't do enough exercise, and keep on eating lots of sugar, your body could become bigger.
What leaves do?
Leaves are the main component of a plant that takes light energy, converts it into chemical energy (sugar), and delivers the sugar throughout the plant through "veins" called phloem.
What form can plants can trap light energy into chemical energy into?
Plants have specialized organelles in their cells called chloroplasts that perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process that takes light energy from the sun and binds that energy into glucose.
What part of a cell converts light energy into sugar?
Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells that convert light energy into sugar through the process of photosynthesis. Within the chloroplasts, the pigment chlorophyll captures the light energy and uses it to drive the chemical reactions that produce sugar molecules.
What are the main characteristics of facilitated diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that relies on carrier proteins to move specific molecules across the cell membrane. It does not require energy input from the cell and moves molecules down their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion is selective, allowing only specific molecules to cross the membrane based on their size and charge.
What do plants convert glucose to?
Plants convert glucose to energy through cellular respiration. This process takes place in the mitochondria of plant cells and involves breaking down glucose molecules to produce ATP, which is used as energy for various cellular processes.
