I wrote a paragraph summing the importance of Carbon a while back, see if it helps find your answer. :)

Carbon is an element on the periodic table with the symbol C, and the atomic number 6. There are many reasons that carbon is vital to life on earth, not only to humans but to plants as well. First of all, humans are made of eighteen percent carbon. It is not only found in humans, it is also found in every organism currently known, including plants in a technological way. To plants, carbon flows inside of their cells. They need it to create glucose which then works as food. To humans, it's used in many science sets. It is used in a vast array of compounds including gasoline. Gasoline is what keeps motors around the world running, and it's made up of hydrocarbons with at least 5 carbon atoms each. It also aids the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm and habitable by human beings.

What unifying theme brought the work of Mendel and Darwin together in the big picture of
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

A: Discovery of DNA as the genetic material

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material and stretch of DNA that codes for a specific protein is called as gene. Discovery of DNA as genetic material provided the physical proof of Mendel's factors that were responsible for transmission of genetic traits in his experiment.

Discovery of DNA as genetic material also established that genetic variations among individuals of the species as described by Darwin are due to minor differences in their DNA molecules.

Hence, discovery of DNA as genetic material led to acceptance of both Mendel's law and Darwin's theory.

In the absence of oxygen, what is the net gain of ATP for each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis?
Naily [24]

Answer:

2 molecules of ATP

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the anaerobic process (no oxygen required) used in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy. It occurs in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It is the first step of cellular respiration.

Glycolysis is subdivided into two phases: the first phase uses energy (ATP), while the second phase produces it together with pyruvate and NADH.

Two molecules of ATP are required for the first stage of glycolysis, while 4 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules are formed in the second stage.
