Semen creates a(n)<u>alkaline </u>environment for sperm to safely travel through both the male and female reproductive tracts.

In the field of biology, semen can be described as a white, slippery fluid that is released from the male reproductory organ. Semen is also referred to as the seminal fluid.

The semen of males carries the sperm cells which are required for the fertilization of the female egg. The conditions should be favorable for the process of fertilization to occur.

The natural atmosphere of the vagina of a female is acidic in nature. The sperms need a neutral environment for survival. Hence, the semen is produced alkaline in nature to prolong the lifetime of sperm cells. The alkalinity of the semen neutralizes the acidity of the vagina.

Athletes and physically active people have increased needs for
STALIN [3.7K]
They have increased need to carbohydrates, protein, water and iron.

Carbohydrates is the primary source for energy and active people apparently need more energy for their daily activities.

Protein helps build muscles, even though they only need a small amount more of protein than normal people, they still require protein for muscle buildings.

Water has to be needed as they may excrete more sweat by active activities in the day time. Water can also help remove waster material from body.

Iron helps the production of hemoglobin, which is in the red blood cells that help transport oxygen. As they exercise more, they need more oxygen supply for respiration, therefore there is a need for iron supply.

Compare and contrast three metabolic pathways by choosing whether the statement applies to aerobic respiration. Check all that a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be options

1. Process includes glycolysis.

2. Between 2 and 38 ATP are produced per molecule of glucose input .

3. Much or most of the ATP produced is produced by oxidative phosphorylation.

4. Process involves electron transport and chemiosmosis.

5.  End products are CO₂ and H₂O.

6. Process involves the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the oxidative process which involves the breakdown of food molecules like glucose, amino acids and fats to release heat and energy in the form of ATP.

In the presence of oxygen or aerobic respiration it undergoes four stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain while in the anaerobic reaction it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide by the process of fermentation.

Each stage produces energy in the form of ATP molecules or co-enzymes NADH OR FADH₂ like glycolysis produces 2 ATP and link reaction, Krebs cycle produces NADH OR FADH₂ in addition to ATP. Each NADH produces 3 ATP while Each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP during electron transport chain.  So, ATP molecules are produced between 2 to 38 ATP molecules in each stage with large number during electron transport chain from these co-enzymes.

The waste products produced in the stages of cellular respiration are CO₂ molecules and H₂O which is also known as metabolic water.

marta [7]

Answer: This is called Monohybrid Experiment

Explanation: Monohybrid Cross

P Generation TT     *   tt

  Tall plants     Dwarf plants

F1 Generation  

T T

t Tt Tt

t Tt Tt

In F1 generation;

There are 100% Tt Genotype and 100% Tall plant Phenotype

F2 Generation

F1   *   F1

( Tt   *   Tt )

T t

T TT Tt

t Tt tt

In F2 Generation;

Genotype

There are 25% TT (homozygous dominant, tall plants).

50% Tt (heterozygous tall plants), and

25% tt (homozygous recessive dwarf plants).

This is how dwarf characteristics reappear in the second generation.

The Phenotype of F2 generation is 3:1  (Tall : Dwarf)
