Cellular Metabolism wordle
In this unit, we learn about metabolism cellular respiration, plants, energy, and how they all work together to create something that is scientific base. Metabolism is where an organism stores energy so that it can be used to digest food or other resources of an organism. Catabolic pathways plays a role in this it, it helps plants undergo cellular respiration so that it can get acquire food. Plants are a necessity in this world, without it, animals will cease to exist. Many animals are smart enough to know that everything on earth is only temporary it will end one day, one way. Thus, it uses energy wisely and it stores it so that it can be used over a long period of time. For instance, the 1st law of thermodynamic states that energy is always constant and that it is an endless cycle, neither used up or destroyed. Another instance is that bacteria in the soil uses energy to break out substances and later plants will obtain the nutrients from the soil and used it for themselves with the help of the sun it will create a plant. When the plant sprouts, a herbivore will come and eat it thus the energy is then transferred to the cow. The cow is later consumed by a carnivore and the energy is then transferred to them. With a gradual cycle, the carnivore will die and the energy is then transferred back into mother Earth. Metabolism is a key ingredient in life, it is very versatile on its own because it cannot be controlled but it can adjust to the human body by itself.
