Theta Chi is dedicated to creating an environment of truth, temperance and tolerance, enabling gentlemen of the fraternity to assume leadership positions, prosper academically and form brotherhood bonds. Beyond being a home away from home, we strive toward contributing to the campus and community.
Carbon is a component of all organic molecules, many of which are essential for life. The ultimate source of all organic molecules is primary production, in which photosynthetic organisms take in carbon dioxide gas (or bicarbonate - CO2's water-dissolved form) and, using sunlight as an energy source, convert it into glucose.
Light and sugars may be the ultimate sources of energy in cells, but mobilizing those energies is too complex to do everywhere a cell needs it. ATP is functional, easily put to use in many circumstances, whether its pure chemistry, generation of cell movement, active transport, or any process requiring energy input.A related molecule, guanosine triphosphate or GTP, is also used in several systems.ight and sugars may be the ultimate sources of energy in cells, but mobilizing those energies is too complex to do everywhere a cell needs it.
