Which of the following best illustrates the concept of supply and demand in cells?
a. The rate at which food molecules are oxidized by cellular respiration is tightly controlled such that the rate of ATP generation does not match the requirements of the cell for chemical energy.
b. The rate at which food molecules are reduced by cellular respiration is tightly controlled such that the rate of ATP generation matches the requirements of the cell for chemical energy.
c. The rate at which food molecules are oxidized by cellular respiration is tightly controlled such that the rate of ADP generation matches the requirements of the cell for chemical energy.
d. The rate at which food molecules are oxidized by cellular respiration is tightly controlled such that the rate of ATP generation matches the requirements of the cell for chemical energy.
Ans: d. The rate at which food molecules are oxidized by cellular respiration is tightly controlled such that the rate of ATP generation matches the requirements of the cell for chemical energy.
