What happens to glucose inside a cell during cellular respiration

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>

geniusboy [140]

Answer: B transmitted by contact

Explanation:

Cutaneous Anthrax is spread by contact with the bacterium's spores, which often appear in infectious animal products. Contact is by breathing, eating, or through an area of broken skin. It does not typically spread directly between people. Risk factors include people who work with animals or animal products, travelers, postal workers, and military personnel.Diagnosis can be confirmed by finding antibodies or the toxin in the blood or by culture of a sample from the infected site.

Almost all cells in an animal (except gametes) have __ sets of chromosomes? in other words, how many homologs for a particular c
anastassius [24]
The answer is 2. This is why their autosomal cells are referred to as diploid in chromosome number. The gametes have only one set of chromosomes. The homologous pair (sister chromosome) separate during meiosis I. If there was an extra chromosome in addition to this set then this would cause a condition called aneuploidy.
