the small units are released in steps instead of all at once.

∙ 9y agoCellular oxidation is very similar to burning. They both essentially result in the oxidation of carbohydrates. The difference is burning uses fire and cellular oxidation uses a series of enzymatic steps, discretely separated in space and time, in order to make it a slow and controlled process.

∙ 10y agoOxidation of molecules inside cells is a slow, controlled process that is used to drive the biochemistry of the cell by making ATP, the cellular fuel. Burning outside the cell is a rapid and destructive process which generally does not produce useful chemical products (although cigarette smokers might disagree) but is used instead to produce heat and light.

When is a substance most likely to diffuse into a cell?
If there is the concentration of substance inside the cell is lesser than outside and cell membrane is permeable to the substance.
How are active transport and passive transport different from each other?
The most basic difference between active and passive transport is that active requires energy while passive does not. You would require active transport if the substance is going against the concentration of molecules inside and outside of the membrane or if the substance is particularly large. Passive is more for smaller molecules that go with the concentration of the molecules inside and outside of the membrane.
What process keeps the amounts of molecules inside and outside the in balance?
Diffusion keeps the amounts of molecules inside and outside the cell in balance, or in a state of homeostasis.
As the concentration of molecules outside a cell increases more molecules will enter the cell?
the molecules are moving down their concentration gradient BACK NEXT
What is most likely to occur if the sugar molecules can cross the membranes?
Sugar molecules move outside of the membrane.

How do you indicate the number of molecules in a substance?
The subscript outside the parentheses: (H2SO4)2
Does temperature have atoms and molecules?
Temperature itself is not a substance and is not composed of atoms or molecules. However it is a measure of the activity of the atoms or molecules of the substance you are measuring the temperature of. That is, the warmer a substance becomes the more active are its atoms and the higher its temperature.

How are active and passive differ from from each other?
The most basic difference between active and passive transport is that active requires energy while passive does not. You would require active transport if the substance is going against the concentration of molecules inside and outside of the membrane or if the substance is particularly large.

What chemical changes can happen when copper is left outside?
Oxidation (rusting)
Is it smart for a person to go outside when there is plastic burning outside?
yes
The rate of evaporation is affected by?
The type of substance; the substance outside this substance, the pressure, the temperature.
In photosynthesis what comes in from the outside?
sunlight is the substance that comes in from the outside
What are fero magnetic substance?
Ferromagnetic substance is items that can be magnetized by the outside magnetic field. It will stay magnetic after outside field is removed.
What chemical change is likely to occur when a chair is left outside in the air and rain?
Oxidation and reduction REDOX for short. In other words the metal will rust which is oxidation.
