What type of carbon-based molecule is the first to be broken down by the body's cells to provide a source of energy?

Glucose

Explanation:

The carbon based molecule which is broken by the cells of the body is glucose it is a carbohydrate that is obtained from food we consume it is stored in the form of glycogen. When the energy requirement of the body increases then glucose monomers are released from the glycogen chain so that glucose monomers can participate in the energy generation process in the mitochondria of the cell. The chemical energy so produced is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

1. a host loses nutrients to a parasite

2. a parasite only benefits when the host is alive (cause if the host dies the parasite dies with it )

3. producers to consumers

4. the tapeworm is a parasite

5. they convert energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

6. sunflower-robin (i think im 80% sure)

7. producer

8. consumer

9. prey

10. fresh water snails ( cause the green algea is the producer and the snails are the primary consumers and the small fish consumer so is the big fish)

the principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to test the hypothesis, and development of a conclusion that confirms, rejects, or modifies the hypothesis.
