No. Certain cells may require more ATPs depending on their activities. For example, the muscles cells would need a much greater amount of ATP than that of a skin cell because it needs to contract and relax on a regular basis.
Actually, you might be shocked by this, but plants require small amounts of Oxygen. i am not sure why, or any of the details, but they do need oxygen.
Well, one could look at as all the parts of an engine having a specialized task to perform for the engine to function. In much the same way, cell respiration has a 3 step process that it uses to perform specialized tasks and breakdown of enzymes and glucose that it uses to function. Furthermore, certain parts of an engine require certain things- just like the Krebs cycle and the electron transport system both require oxygen.
Movement of flagella or cilia is a active process.So the energy requirement is high.
Increases how much water the collecting ducts in the kidney reabsorb.
They're doing a lot of work. About 1/5 th of your blood is filtered every minute - a good bit of what is filtered out must be reabsorbed (against an osmotic gradient) and that all takes energy.
the amount of kidneys u should normally have should be two but i geuss you can have 1 more but there wont be much space for your orgins to function.
How much electrical energy does the average American require per day ? How much electrical energy does the average American require per day ?
They require less energy as they do not do much work compared to teenagers. They should have less energy intake and less energy expenditure.
In terms of function, nothing. The adult kidney is just much larger.
Yes they do, fat cells have very little function and therefore require much less energy than muscle cells.
They need less energy because they don't do as much as when they were younger. Unless they are doing heavy work then they do require more energy
No, actually plants require more energy, because unlke animals plants use energy as food as to where animals hunt and eat plants.
As people get older, their overall energy needs may decrease due to a reduction in muscle mass and physical activity. Metabolic rate tends to decrease with age, meaning that fewer calories are required for daily functioning. However, individual energy needs vary based on factors such as activity level, muscle mass, and overall health.
Renal means related to kidneys. Kidneys are very sensitive to hypotension. That is to low blood pressure. Kidneys have to wash out the waste products of protein metabolism. They are very much toxic to the brain. Your kidneys are very small in size, but still get very heavy blood supply. Kidneys filter out about 180 litres of fluid per day. That is the need of the hour. In case of hypotension, this function will be adversely affected. So kidneys secrete the hormone to maintain the blood pressure.
Pretty much the same as in human, keeping the blood free from waste and make sure no needed nutrients goes out with the urine.
There is no definite difference in function, however the necessary catalysts are quite different. Chloroplasts require sunlight to start, whereas mitochondrion do not require light. REVISION: I disagree with the previous answer - the function of a mitochondria and a chloroplast are fundamentally different, indeed nearly opposite in many respects. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis whereby light energy and carbon dioxide are utilized to form sugars. Mitochondria are the site of much of cellular respiration (parts of cellular respiration also occur in the cytoplasm) where oxygen and sugars are broken down to generate energy and carbon dioxide. Plants utilize their chloroplasts to generate sugars wherein the energy of the sun can be stored and later used by their mitochondria and cellular respiration to generate energy.
