In metabolism two basic processes occur Which process is involved in breaking down nutrients?
In metabolism, the catabolic process involves breaking down nutrients. More specifically, the Krebs Cycle breaks down the nutrients.
What is the difference between chemical reaction and mechanical reaction?
chemical includes constructing and breaking down large complex molecules sucj as proteins and nucleic acids. transport involves movement and concentration of raw materials or nutrients for buildng complex molecules or growth of cellular structures. Mechanical involves movements such as muscle contractions. without a constant source of energy, living systems would not survive
How is an organisms metabolism related to earth's carbon cycle?
Metabolism involves ither using energy to build organic molecules or breaking down organic molecules in which energy is stored. Organic molecules contain carbon.Therefore, an organism's metabolism is part of Earth's carbon cycle.
Aerobic respiration involves all what except the breaking down of molecules. the release of energy. the synthesis of ATP. breathing in and out. the release of carbon dioxide.?
Aerobic respiration involves the use of oxygen (through the lungs) to create energy. This energy is created in the form of ATP.
What is metablomic?
I am assuming you mean metabolomics, which is the study of the many metabolic pathways that are present throughout biological organisms. It is a fairly complex field of science and involves many techniques and a large amount of analytical chemistry. A metabolic pathway involves catabolism (breaking down of molecules) and anabolism (synthesis of molecules) and the combination of these two is what is studied in metabolomics. Hope this helps
Why is tear strength lower than breaking strength?
Tear strength involves only individual threads in a garment to be broken. Breaking strength involves all of the weave to be broken.
By what process are nutrients and oxygen oxidized in your cells?
The process by which nutrients and oxygen are oxidized in cells is cellular respiration. It involves the oxidation of nutrients usually by oxygen.
What is the first step to breaking down a glucose molecule is?
Breaking down glucose into pyruvate is known as Glycolysis. Glycolysis involves splitting one molecule of the simple 6-carbon sugar glucose into two smaller molecules of the 3-carbon pyruvate. The process is anaerobic and occurs in the cytoplasm of cell.
What is the difference between agglutination and precipitation?
Agglutination involves the clumping together of insoluble molecules. So you easily this happening with the naked eye. Precipitation involves the aggregation of soluble molecules.
How is metabolism part of the carbon cycle?
Metabolism involves ither using energy to build organic molecules or breaking down organic molecules in which energy is stored. Organic molecules contain carbon.Therefore, an organism's metabolism is part of Earth's carbon cycle.
