Explanation:

C) organic molecules is converted to ATP molecules

During respiration, the breakdown of glucose undergoes several steps in order to produce ATP, namely in glycolysis, the Kreb's cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

Further Explanation:

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
The Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

Which best explains the importance of understanding science?

sashaice [31]

Answer:

It allows us to be educated in issues important in today's world.

Explanation:

Nowadays, the world is facing many different issues. Among them, the climatic issue is the most important one. Science allows us to study global warming. It will enable us to understand how global warming is increasing and how it is affecting the climate. It allows us to get a prediction about climate change, which might be happened by global warming. By studying science, we can also be able to know what to do to reduce global warming so that our environment can become safe.

So we can say that science allows us to be educated in those issues which are important in today's world.

Which of the following statements does NOT describe a vertebrate eye?

Scrat [10]

The correct answer is: d. it contains many light-sensing columns called ommatidia

Ommatidia are units that form compound eyes of arthropods such as insects, crustaceans and millipedes (these are invertebrates) and make them very sensitive to motion. Ommatidia are composed of photoreceptor cells (visual detection) surrounded by support cells and pigment cells.

The eyes of vertebrates are more complex showing that progressive improvements in the structure of the eye occurred during the evolution.

The question is in another language so, English translation for the given question is as follows:

It is made up mostly of water; different organic molecules, such as carbohydrates; and inorganic molecules, such as mineral salts. It carries out most of the chemical reactions of the synthesis of molecules and obtaining energy. To which of the following cell structures does the above description correspond?

a) Nucleus. b) Genetic material. c) Cytoplasm. d) Cell membrane.

Answer:

c) Cytoplasm

Explanation:

The Cytoplasm is defined as a thick solution filled inside each cell and all the organelles float in the cytoplasm.

The Cytoplasm is majorly made up of water, carbohydrates, salts, and proteins. Cytoplasm contains different molecules and enzymes that carries out most of the chemical reactions and obtain energy. Cytoplasm also helps in providing shape to the cell.

Hence, the correct option is c) Cytoplasm.
