Answer:

B) Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)

Explanation:

Glycolysis breaks glucose into two pyruvate molecules. Pyruvate is decarboxylated into acetyl CoA and the reaction occurs in the matrix of mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, acetyl CoA enters Kreb's cycle and is broken down into CO2 and H2O. For one molecule of acetyl CoA, two molecules of CO2 are released as a by-product. Therefore, out of three carbon atoms of pyruvate, two are released as CO2 during Kreb's cycle.

Traits included physical features such as flower color. Today, these factors are called alleles. Mendel developed the hypothesis that some factors could be dominant, while others were recessive. According to his theory, a dominant factor is expressed when only one factor is present in the offspring. On the other hand, a recessive factor expresses its phenotype when both factors are present in the offspring. Today, the term genotype refers to the combination of factors possessed by an organism.

Explain why the offspring of a cactus finch and a medium ground finch would look like an intermediate between the two birds, but

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

How the finch offspring "looks" is determined by the genes it inherits (nature) whereas the offspring will be able to learn the song from their parent (nurture). In this case, it is the male parent that teaches the song to their young. Hence, the song that the finch offspring learns is from the male finch parent which is why it remains the same as before.

Which is the final electron receptor in the electron transport system of cellular respiration

Zepler [3.9K]

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, which allows for oxidative phosphorylation. Without oxygen, the electrons will be backed up, eventually causing the electron transport chain to halt.
