What happens to glucose inside a cell during cellular respiration

1 answer:

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>

The average height of man 100 years ago was 5'5", today the average height is 5'8". Why are we getting taller?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

We are getting taller because of improved nutrition and health.

Explanation:

Height, as a polygenic trait, is controlled by more than 2 genes in humans. Height as a trait in humans can be determined by the genetic code of an individual as well as the environmental conditions where such individual lives in. Environmental factors such as good and conducive environment, improved standard of living, and most especially nutrition and health.

The most reasonable cause why we seem quite taller than humans of 100 years ago is simply as a result of improved nutrition and health which was made possible by our advances in science and technology. Good standard of living and improved nutrition is responsible for we getting taller.

Which of the following statements describes what happens to a molecule that functions as the reducing agent (electron donor) in

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

In a redox reaction, a reducing agent will donate electrons to another chemical species and then it becomes oxidized.

Explanation:

A redox or oxidation-reduction reaction is a chemical reaction where exchange of electron(s) happen between two chemical species (molecule, atom or ion). In this reaction, one chemical species act as an oxidizing agent while another will be a reducing agent.

An example of redox reaction is given in the attachment.

In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of a reducing agent will be increased, whereas oxidizing agent will be reduced.

What is the special feature of the leaves of C4 plants?

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Your answer is A.They contain chloroplasts both in the mesophyll and bundle sheath cells.

Explanation:

C4 plants have two types of photosynthetic cells: mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. Mesophyll chloroplasts are randomly distributed along cell walls, whereas bundle sheath chloroplasts are located close to the vascular tissues or mesophyll cells depending on the plant species. The cell-specific C4 chloroplast arrangement is established during cell maturation, and is maintained throughout the life of the cell.

The ability to grow differently colored fur based on the season provides Arctic foxes with a selective advantage. What do you th

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

This is known as Phenotypic plasticity, the artic fox has the advantage of being able able to hunt rodents, birds and fish

Explanation:

Phenotypic plasticity can be explained as the changes in the behavior, morphology, physiology of an organism such as the artic fox in response to their unique habitat. It tells us how the artic fox is able to cope with the variations in it's environment.

Their natural hues helps them to blend into snow and ice since it is white. When there's a change in season, their fur or coat also changes as well to a brown or grey color that gives it cover when it is among rocks and plants.

These colorings gives them an advantage and help them to hunt rodents, birds and fishes.
