Carbohydrates lipids and proteins are types of carbon compound that are broken down to produce what?
Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are types of carbon compound that are broken to produce simple molecules like carbon-dioxide and water.
The carbon to produce carbohydrates in the second stage of photosynthesis comes from?
The carbon to produce carbohydrates in the second stage of photosynthesis comes from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. During the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into glucose molecules that make up carbohydrates.
Where does the carbon come from that plants used to produce carbon dioxide?
From carbohydrates
Which of the following does not serve as a source of acids in the body?
Carbohydrates do not directly serve as a source of acids in the body. When metabolized, carbohydrates produce carbon dioxide and water, rather than acidic byproducts like some proteins and fats do.
Of nucleic acids carbohydrates proteins and lipids which do cells produce the most of and why?
Cells produce the most proteins because they primarily make up the human body. All our phenotypes (traits) are expressed from DNA by proteins.
Is cabon dioxide and water are necessary for photosynthesis?
Yes, in photosynthesis water reacts with carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and oxygen gas.
Do the non-cyclic electron pathways produce carbohydrates through carbon dioxide fixation?
yes
What exactly are calories?
A calorie is the energy value of food. Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats contain calories and produce energy.
Where does the carbon come from that plants use to produce carbon dioxide?
The carbon in plants come from the carbon found in carbon dioxide (CO2). As plants undergo photosynthesis they draw in water through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air through specialized structures called stomates. So the inorganic carbon in carbon dioxide becomes organic carbon making up the oils, carbohydrates and proteins found in plants.
What carbohydrates or lipids or nucleic acids or proteins provide the most readily available energy?
Carbohydrates provide the most readily available energy as they are efficiently broken down into glucose, which is the body's primary source of energy. Unlike lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins, carbohydrates can be quickly metabolized to produce immediate energy.
Which substance do plants use to produce biomass?
Biomass is the total dry mass of an organism. In other words it is the name given to the material that makes up a living organism, excluding water. Therefore it is the compounds such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins etc. Plants produce biomass when they grow. To produce biomass plants need carbon dioxide and water (which they use to make glucose in photosynthesis) but they also need some nitrogen to make proteins, and some phosphorous so they can make DNA. They get these in mineral salt compounds called nitrates and phosphates from the soil. Confusingly biomass is also a term used for biological material that can be processed to make biofuel.
Does plasma membrane produce proteins?
No, the plasma membrane does not produce proteins. Proteins are synthesized by ribosomes in the cytoplasm and then transported to the plasma membrane to carry out various functions such as transport, signaling, and cell adhesion.
