What happens to glucose inside a cell during cellular respiration

Biology
1 answer:
Tju [1.3M]3 years ago
3 0
Glucose turns into ATP or ENERGY during the process of cellular respiration ..
<span>The glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate, which are two smaller molecules. A net yeild of 2 ATP and 2 NADH result. Each pyruvate is connected to a coenzyme. The resulting molecule is called Acetyl CoA. That reaction also gives off 2 molecules of C02. The Acetyl CoA enters the Krebs Cycle, from which (through a series of steps), 2 more ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 6 CO2 are formed. The 6 NADH and FADH2 (which are coenzymes) move on to the electron transfer chain. Here, they give up their H+ and electrons to the chain. The electrons reduced the proteins on the chain, allowing H+ from outside the cell to be brought in. Bringing this H+ into the cell builds up the concentration. When the concentration gets high enough, the H+ wants to go back out of the cell. The only way to do this is through the ATP synthase. When is passes through this, the synthase combines an ADP with an inorganic phosphate, forming ATP. The typical yeild is 32 ATP from this, giving a total of 36 when you add in the ATP from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.</span>

What are the different structures and functions of roots?
seraphim [82]

Different structures and functions of roots

Explanation:

Roots are the underground descending non-green part of the plant.

Root functions: Anchorages the plant to the soil, absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.

Characteristics: Positively geotropic and hydrotropic, negatively phototropic; does not have nodes, internodes or stems.

Types:  

  • Tap root
  • Adventitious root – fibrous, foliar and true adventitious roots

Structure and functions:  

  • Root cap or Calyptra: Cap-like structure covering the root tip .
  1. Function: protects the meristematic tissues of the root, secretes mucilage which enhances the root tips to grow into the hard soil.
  • Meristematic zone or growing point  sub-terminal behind root cap. These cells are inverted and looks like a dome.
  1. Function – helps in the root growth by adding new cells to the root tip and other basal regions
  • Zone of elongation behind the meristematic zone.
  1. Function – helps in elongation of the root
  • Root hair zone: This is the zone of differentiation where cells differentiate into vascular tissues like phloem, xylem, endodermis, cortex etc.
  1. The main function of root hair is to increase the total surface area of root to facilitate more absorption of water and other nutrients from the soil
  • Zone of maturation: the major and mature portion of a root.
  1. Function  - lateral roots originates from this zone and radial differentiation leads to secondary growth.

what were the historical reasons for the resistance to recognizing airborne transmission during the covid-19 pandemic?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Up until a 1962 demonstration of tuberculosis airborne transmission, airborne transmission of all major respiratory diseases was assumed to be of insignificant or moderate consequence over the following fifty years.

Before COVID-19, only a small number of diseases—those that were blatantly spread to people not in the same room—were generally acknowledged as airborne. This is because the contact/droplet paradigm remained popular.

<h3>What does the term "airborne transmission" mean?</h3>
  • The term "airborne transmission" refers to the propagation of droplet nuclei (aerosols) that retain their infectious properties after being suspended in air for a lengthy period of time and over great distances.
  • Bacteria or viruses that cause airborne infections are most frequently spread by tiny respiratory droplets. When a person with the airborne sickness sneezes, coughs, laughs, or exhales in any other way, these droplets are released.

1. What are three things that water variability affects for us?
IRINA_888 [86]
1. Drought period - in time periods where there is more precipitation there is more water availability, and when there's not there isn't.
Floods - when there are floods there is much more water available.
Population density - in places with more population there is a greater need for water supply, while in places where there is lesser people, the water supply can be smaller.
2. The land, air, and water are heated each day by the sunlight. The heat produced by the sun that hits the earth as the earth rotates is then part kept by the atmosphere that doesn't permeate all of that heating energy.
3. By evaporation. As the sun heats the ocean, there is evaporation. As the ocean moves around with its tides there is also loss of water to the air. Also by the waves and winds there is water that's lost to the air.
4. Part of that vapour will be reabsorbed by the ocean because it cools and precipitates into the ocean. Other part of it is taken with the wind to land or to upper spheres of the atmosphere.
 5. Part is reabsorbed but other part isn't. The other part is taken by the wind. As a gradient, there is less water in the air then in the ocean, keeping it above the ocean.
6. There is more water in the oceans then on the land. Water remains in the air on average about 9-10 days.
7. --------

9. About 22%.
10. About 27%.
