What is the role of coenzyme a in the cell? a. it converts glucose to carbon dioxide in the cell membrane. b. it converts acetic acid to a form that can enter the mitochondria. c. it converts pyruvic acid to glucose in the cytoplasm. d. it converts carbon dioxide to waste that is released from the cell.

Cells a and b are the same size and shape, but cell a is metabolically quiet and cell b is actively consuming oxygen. oxygen will diffuse more quickly into cell because . b the oxygen molecules inside cell b have a higher kinetic energy b. a its membrane transport proteins will not be saturated c. a the diffusion gradient there is shallowerd. b the diffusion gradient there is steeper
