Question
Chapter 7, Problem 3TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Energy is necessary for all living organisms to perform their life processes. Living cells obtain energy in different forms, and they also have the mechanisms to alter energy from one form to another. They need energy to grow, develop, and maintain.

Can this type of energy be used by humans to maintain the organization of our bodies? Can this type of energy be used by any kind of living thing? For what process?arrow_forwardPeople who explore caves where there is running water but no sunlight often find them populated with unique types of fishes and insects. What hypothesis can you make to explain the ultimate source of energy for these organisms?arrow_forward
- What is meant by the term cellular respiration? A. The process by which cells breath B. The process by which cells make their own food by assembling chemical bonds. C. The process by which cells break down the chemical bonds in food to get energy D. The process by which cells make oxygen for us to use in our bodies.arrow_forwardYour science teacher says that matter is conserved in the process of cellular respiration. What does he mean by that? (a) None of the atoms in the food that we eat are destroyed during the process, and no new atoms are created in the formation of carbon dioxide, water and ATP (b) None of the molecules in the food are destroyed during the process, and no new molecules are created after the reaction between glucose and oxygen (c) Molecules in our food are destroyed, and new molecules, of carbon dioxide, water and ATP are created (d) None of the matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas, changes states during the process.arrow_forwardWhy do living things require energy? Where does that energy ultimately come from?arrow_forward
