Lady_Fox [76]

The correct answer is:


CO2 diffuses passively out of the cell. O2 in respiration is converted to water. O2 diffuses in to the cell.

Cellular respiration is the chemical reaction in which glucose and oxygen are converted into water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP). In this reaction, glucose and oxygen are reactants, while water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP) are products. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to change biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate and then discharge waste products.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

<em>The chromosome number will not be constant and the person would die.</em>

Explanation:

During gamete formation, half of the chromosomes arise from one parent and the other half from the other parent. This is possible due to the process of meiosis.

If during gamete formation, the number of chromosome does not get reduced, then after fertilization the gamete will have double the number of chromosomes as compared to the parents. Hence, the chromosome number of the person will not remain constant and he/she would die.
