The true statements are:

Substrate level phosphorylation ocvurs during Pyruvate oxidation
32 ATP molecules can be made by cellular respiration but only 2 ATP molecules when oxygen is lacking
Electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity in the electron transport chain
ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria during oxidative phosphorylation
ATP inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase by feedback inhibition

<h3>What is glucose oxidation?</h3>

Glucose oxidation refers to the process in the cells in which glucose molecules are oxidized to form ATP and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen.

The first stage of glucose oxidation is the conversion to pyruvate.

Pyruvate is oxidized to acetylCoA.

AcetylCoA enters the citric acid cycle to produce reducing equivalents, NADH for the electron transport chain.

The true statements about pyruvate oxidation is that there is substrate level phosphorylation during the process
When there is sufficient oxygen, 36 ATP molecules can be made (theoretically) by cellular respiration. However, when oxygen is lacking, only 2 ATP molecules are made.
In the electron transport chain of cellular respiration, electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity
During oxidative phosphorylation, ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria
Aerobic respiration can be regulated by feedback inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase by ATP.

What is the composition of earths atmosphere

gogolik [260]

The earth's atmosphere consists mainly of nitrogen and oxygen with smaller proportions of other gases such as carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained through a balance between processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and combustion. However this balance is being affected by human activities which are polluting the atmosphere.

The proportion of these gases in the atmosphere is as follows: nitrogen is the most abundant at 78%, oxygen is next at 21%, while others include carbon dioxide at 0.037% and argon at 0.9 % .

Choose the equation that represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 36).

Alla [95]

Since we were given only one point, we have to test each exponential function for the point $(2,36).$

Since exponential functions are of the form $y=n(a)^{kx}$ , The correct option is between option A and option C.

For option A,

$f(x)=4(3)^{x}$

On substitution, we have;

$36=4(3)^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 36=4\times 9$

$\Rightarrow 36=36$ .

Since the point satisfied the exponential function $f(x)=4(3)^{x}$ , the exponential function goes through it.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

No need to test for option C again.
