Respond to the prompts in the tables below. Each response should be at least 30 words. Cite any
references that you use.
Foundations of Chemisty in Biology
Prompt
Your response
Describe an example of a
chemical reaction that
occurs in the body.
The metabolism of of food we eat to produce energy for our survival.
The simplest compound we use for energy is glucose, C6H12O6, in the
presence of oxygen, our body carry out this chemical reaction to
produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
Plant Cells
Prompt
Your response
Describe the primary
structures in plant cells.
Plant cells have three basic components: (a) the cell wall, the rigid
layer of the cell; (b) vacuole, the sac-like organelle; and (c) the
protoplasm, which contains the living part of the cell.
Explain the role of each
structure in plant cells.
(a) cell wall: the rigid layer of the cell which surrounds the cell
membrane, which helps protect and support the cell.
(b) Vacuole: used for storage such as water and helps in keeping
the cell’s rigidity.
(c) Protoplasm: the living part of the cell which contains diferent
organelles such as:
*plastids, the organelle that contains pigments in plants which
include: chloroplast, the organelle responsible for
photosynthesis and chromoplast, the organelle responsible for
making chloroplasts, among others.
*other organelles: golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum,
cytoplasm, mitochondria, etc..
Explain how plant cells
make energy for cellular
processes.
Plants make energy in the form of photosynthesis. The special
organelle called chloroplast use the energy from the sun to synthesize
glucose from carbon dioxide and water. In the process, oxygen is also
synthesized. Chloroplasts contain a special pigment known as
chlorophyll. This pigm...
