Explain Why Candy Bars Are Well Known To Supply Large Amounts Of Energy For Metabolism
1. Candy bars are well known to supply large amounts of energy for metabolism. With all this energy trapped inside, how can the candy bar sit still on the shelf in the grocery store?
Indeed, candy bars have a significant amount of carbohydrates (mostly simple, such as sugar) in their composition. The energy stored within these carbohydrates is chemical potential energy, and cannot actually be released or converted into usable chemical energy until it is eaten and taken up into the body, where various cells break down the carbohydrate molecules and contribute to the body’s metabolism via the different pathways (e.g., citric acid cycle), producing ATP in the process.
2. Aquaporins are cell membrane water channels. Why does the cell need water
