NAS Exam 2 Questions with All Correct Answers why is chemical energy needed by cells? - Answer-to maintain homeostasis Define cell respiration - Answer-the mechanism for harvesting energy from fuel molecules; the oxidation of glucose to produce ATP what is the function of the reduced coenzymes? - Answer-They are used to transfer energy to another compound Describe the function of oxidation-reduction reactions in the synthesis of ATP. - AnswerThe reaction that transports energy to reduce...

Cell Theory states that... - All known living things are composed of one or more cells. - All new cells are created by pre-existing cells dividing. - The cell is the most basic unit of structure and function in all living organisms. Cells exhibit the characteristic of life by maintaining homeostasis. One of the ways in which they do this is by having a boundary between the cell and the rest of the world. What is the name of this boundary? - Cell membrane Cells exhibit th...
