It is the wear and tear theory of ageing.

The wear and tear theory defends that ageing is caused by the damage that happens as time goes by to cells and body systems. The name of the theory reflects this idea of wearing out - the organism is worn out and doesn't function normally. This is the theory that's accepted more generally as common sense but there are other theories of ageing that see the process as a more intentional process.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Please see the attached image

Given -

Allele for small pollen is "sp"

Allele for normal pollen is "sp+"

and "sp+" is dominant over "sp"

Allele for zebra necrotic tissue is "zn"

Allele for normal necrotic tissue is "zn+"

and "zn+" is dominant over "zn"

Cross is carried out between

sp+ sp zn+ zn x sp+ sp zn+ zn

The gametes of the parent cells are -

sp+ zn+, sp+zn, spzn+, spzn

The cross would be as follows

sp+ zn+ sp+zn spzn+ spzn

sp+ zn+ sp+ sp+ zn+ zn+sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp zn+ zn+ sp+ spzn+ zn

sp+zn sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp+ zn znsp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn

spzn+ sp+ sp zn+ zn+sp+ sp zn+ znsp sp zn+ zn+ sp sp zn+ zn

spzn sp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn sp sp zn+ zn sp sp zn zn

Hence, option B is correct

"Generally describe the series of events via which pyruvate is further processed after glycolysis (assume that this is in the pr

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The product of glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate. It is a three-carbon compound. This pyruvate again undergoes oxidation in the cytoplasm. This process is called pyruvate oxidation which produces Acetyl CoA. The Acetyl CoA is a two-carbon molecule.

Acetyl CoA again used for the citric acid cycle. This is also called as Kreb's cycle / TCA cycle. Because citric acid has 3 carboxylic groups. The acetyl coenzyme produces NADH, FADH2, ATP. The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. This is an 8 step process. The first product is citric acid. The other products of each step are isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, Fumarate, L - malate, and Oxaloacetate (OAA).

Another process of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain ( ETS). Here the energy stored in NADH, FADH2 in the citric acid cycle are utilized. It is a chain of electron carriers. ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.

In short, the glucose splits by glycolysis and produces ATP, NADPH, and final product pyruvate. The pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetyle coenzyme. This is used in the TCA / citric acid cycle. In this process also NADH, FADH2 which forms electrons are produced. Theses electrons are carried by different electron carriers and accepted by oxygen.

In the process of pyruvate oxidation 6 ATP, and in Kreb's cycle 18 ATPs, in ETS, 4 ATPs are produced. In addition to this in glycolysis produces 4 ATPs. The total number of ATP in aerobic respiration is 32 ATP.
