4.what is the function of a calcium cation and where is it located in the cell (prokaryote or Eukaryote)?

Answer 1

QUESTION-1

ANSWER

The function of ADP/ ATP is to provide energy to the cell to perform various metabolic processes. They act as the energy currency of the cell.

In prokaryotes, the ATP/ADP is present in the cell membrane whereas in the eukaryotes ATP molecules are mainly produced in the mitochondria and stored in the cell.

QUESTION-2

ANSWER

The function of amino acid is to make proteins which regulate various functions of the body. They are also required during the production of neurotransmitters and hormones.

Amino acids are called the building blocks of the proteins.

In both prokaryotes and prokaryotes, amino acids are present in the cytoplasm of the cells. The translation takes place in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cells.

QUESTION-3

ANSWER

The function of phospholipids-

• They act as a barrier and regulate the permeability of the membrane.
• They play a major role in maintaining the conformation of mitochondria.
• They are the component of bile.
• They help in the blood clotting.

In prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the phospholipid is mainly found in the plasma membrane.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!
