Which activity would most likely cause a rapid breakdown of glucose molecules?
a.)
a seagull gliding through the air
b.)
a duck resting on a pond
c.)
a fox consuming its prey
d.)
a rabbit running a predator

D.)  A rabbit running a predator

Explanation:

The process of breakdown of glucose into CO2 and H2O is exergonic process and releases energy which is stored in the form of ATP. ATP serves as energy currency for all the functions performed be living beings.

The rate of glucose breakdown is maximum during intense physical activity to meet the increased demand for ATP.

Among the given options, since the rabbit is running to save its life from a predator, it would use maximum energy to protect itself. hence, the rabbit would exhibit a higher rate of energy production through glucose breakdown as compared to others.  

phylogenetic tree is the tree of life or evolution tree. it shows the different branches of evolution. the sequence goes like tissues - coelom - backbone - endoskeleton - segmentation

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
