I believe the answer is Sugar-sweetened beverages

Empty calorie is term used for food with high amount of calorie but have little to none nutrient. This food will give energy but not giving the nutrient that the body need to be healthy. Typical food would be the one with high sugar or fat content. Consumption of empty calorie food will provide more calorie, make the person easier to gain weight.

Overprocessing food is the biggest cause of empty calories in American diets. The various steps in the process of industrializing food add a number of artificial preservatives and other chemical stabilizers that are unhealthy if consumed in excess, plus added sugar, salt and fat to help remove most. of the nutrients that a food would have if consumed fresh.

If ATP breakdown (hydrolysis) is inhibited, which of the following types of movement across cell membranes is also inhibited?

Len [333]

Answer:

d) passage of a solute against its concentration gradient

Explanation:

When a solute is transported against its concentration gradient, the cells use metabolic energy. To move a substance from the region of its lower concentration to that of its higher concentration, the energy of ATP hydrolysis is utilized. These types of transport mechanisms are called active transports. If ATP hydrolysis is inhibited in a cell, it would not be able to perform the uphill movement of solutes due to the lack of any source of energy to drive the process.

Energy in ___ is absorbed by an electron in a photocenter. This energy is converted from light energy into chemical energy into

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy in _SUNLIGHT__ is absorbed by an electron in a photocenter. This energy is converted from light energy into chemical energy into kinetic energy as the energized electron is used in back to back REDOX reaction in the electron transport chain, ETC. The ETC creates _AN ENERGY GRADIENT__ which is used by the cell to power the formation of ATP. In _CYCLIC PHOSPHORYLATION__ (cyclic or noncylcic) the electron returns to the photocenter. In _NON-CYCLIC PHOSPHORYLATION__ (cyclic or non-cyclic), the electron reduces NADP+ to form _NADPH__.

Photophosporylation is the process of using light (photo) to produce ATP from ADP (phosphorylation i.e. addition of phosphorous). There are two types: cyclic and non-cyclic phosphorylation.

In non-cyclic phosphorylation, there are two photosystems (photocenter) involved, and electron is passed to NADP+.

In cyclic phosphorylation, one photosystem is involved and the electron is not transferred to NADP+, it is circled back to the photosytem.

The reduced form of NADP+ is NADPH. (Remember that: reduction is defined as the addition of hydrogen)
