Answer:
Alcohol fermentation
Explanation:
When oxygen availability is low, the cell can't perform aerobic respiration to breakdown glucose. Instead, anaerobic respiration must be performed. This occurs in cells which consume large amounts of energy, such as muscle cells. Anaerobic respiration produces much less energy than aerobic respiration
One type of anaerobic respiration formed by yeast is called alcohol fermentation (also called ethanol fermentation). This begins with glycolysis, where one molecule of glucose is broke down into 2 molecules of pyruvate. The energy from this reaction generates 2 molecules of ATP, and converts NAD+ to NADH.
Then, the two molecules of pyruvate are further broke down into 2 acetaldehydes (releasing two molecules of carbon dioxide as a by-product). These two molecules of acetaldehyde are then converted into tw molecules of ethanol, using the H ions from NADH, converting it back to NAD+. See the attached picture
This process is taken advantage of to brew beer and wine.
Answer:
Enzymes greatly affect reaction rate in the cells because it speed up the chemical process.
Explanation:
Enzymes are the substances which act as a catalyst during a chemical reaction. Enzyme speed up the chemical process by attaching with the molecules in the reaction and when the process completed it is detached from the molecules. No decrease occurs in the size of enzyme after the reaction is completed.
Answer: Simple difussion
Explanation:
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone of the mineralocorticoid family, produced by the external section of the glomerular zone of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland. It acts in the conservation of sodium, both by secreting potassium and by increasing blood pressure.
Simple diffusion is the process by which molecules flow through a permeable membrane without any external input of molecular energy. This process, which is ultimately due to a<u> difference in molecular concentration between the two media separated by the membrane, does not require an input of energy</u> because its main driving force is the increase in the total entropy of the system. <u>In this process the displacement of the molecules is produced following the concentration gradient, the molecules cross the membrane from the medium where they are in greater concentration, towards the medium where they are in lesser concentration</u>.
The molecules that can easily pass through the cell membranes due to this phenomenon are only gases (e.g. CO2, O2), hydrophobic molecules (e.g. benzene) and small polar molecules (e.g. H2O and ethanol), This is because hydrophobic and apolar molecules are soluble in the central apolar region of the lipid bilayer, and small polar molecules are small enough that unfavorable interactions are compensated for by an increase in the entropy of the system. On the other hand, large polar molecules such as glucose, amino acids and charged molecules or ions (Hx+, Na+, Cl+ and Ca2+) interact too strongly with the aqueous environment outside the lipid bilayer, and it is therefore very unfavourable from an energy point of view to break these interactions to cross the central hydrophobic region. As a consequence, biological membranes are practically impermeable to this type of molecules, so they require other transport mechanisms.
<u>So, since aldosterone is small, nonpolar and hydrophobic molecule, it passes throught the plasma membrane easily, down a concentration gradient</u>.
Answer:
Explanation:
fur and milk
A duck billed platypus is classified as a mammal because it feeds its kids with milk and it has fur. They are very unsual because of the way they dig dirt burrows at the water's edge and how they dont have a stomach
