<span>A)6: fertilizes

</span><span>Meiosis is the process of cell division by which involving gametes. Cell division is just the same for sperm and egg cells, but they have distinguishable descriptions and labels in the process. Spermatogenesis is for the males’ sperm cells and oogenesis is the process for females’ egg cells.

<u>D</u> The diploid number for the lily would be 24 and is produced when the pollencontaining sperm fertilizes the egg. The pollen is the male gamete for the flower. If it contains 12 chromosomes, the the egg would also contain 12 chromosomes. After the process of fertilization occurs, the new cell would have 24 chromosomes, half from the pollen and half from the egg.

Answer:

4. transforming the energy in glucose and related molecules in a chemical form that cells can use for work

Explanation:

Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate which is transformed into acetyl CoA to enter the Kreb's cycle. Kreb's cycle breakdown the acetyl CoA into CO2 and H2O. The energy stored in the glucose molecule is released during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. The released energy is stored in the form of NADH and FADH2 as well as in few molecules of ATP.

The NADH and FADH2 enter the final step of cellular respiration, the oxidative phosphorylation. Here, NADH and FADH2 are oxidized with the help of electron transport chain (ETC). During the transfer of electrons through ETC, the proton motive force is generated which then helps in ATP synthesis.

Hence, the three steps of cellular respiration (glycolysis + Kreb's cycle + oxidative phosphorylation) retrieve the energy from nutrients such as glucose and store it in the form of ATP. ATP is used by cells as an energy source for various other functions.

Klio2033 [76]

The nurse should reassure the patient will receive the best care in keeping with his written directives Cardiac dysrhythmias associated with altered myocardial automaticity, conductivity or contractility can effect cardiac output. Reduced cardiac output increases the risk of ineffective tissue perfusion. If the dysrhythmia is a life-threatening type, encourage the family unit to calmly formulate a plan of action.
