Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An energy-rich organic compound needed byorganisms is
A
water
B
salt
C
oxygen
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A compound that is rich in energy is glucose, choice 4. The formula for glucose is C6H12O6. Animal bodies break down glucose in a process called glycolysis to create energy in the form of ATP molecules. Therefore, glucose is an essential and necessary compound for our survival.

Detailed explanation-2: -A carbohydrate is an energy-rich organic compound made of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Sugars and starches are examples of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are important components of some cell parts, including cell walls and cell membranes.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is a catabolic process where the breakdown of glucose takes place with the help of oxygen and Carbon dioxide and water are released. The energy-rich compound formed during this reaction is ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound the body can use for energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon (from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) to a simple five-carbon molecule called RuBP. These reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP that were produced in the light reactions. The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose.
