Which statement best defines a protist?

1 answer:

8 0

Protists obtain food in 3 ways. They produce their own organic molecules, ingest, and absorb. Ingestive protists ingest food, or engulf bacteria. These protists extend their cell wall and cell membrane forming a food vacuole around the food item. Inside the food vacuole, enzymes digest the food. Absorptive protists on the other hand, absorb food molecules across their cell membrane which takes place through diffusion. Absorptive protists play a key role in decomposition. They are considered as important decomposers. Major producers like photosynthetic protists use light energy to manufacture their own food.

A woman takes a man to court claiming that he is the father of her son and that the man should be required to pay child support.

Anastasy [175]

Answer: No

Explanation: Since when a child is born it has DNA from both. As an example, the mom has brown hair, father has blonde hair, the child would take the DNA for the type of hair they get, either blonde or brown. So since its blood, the fathers is A, and the boy's is B, therefore it didn't take any of their DNA's so nope, he isn't the father.

When comparing the yield of ATP from the different stages of cellular respiration, which produces the greatest number of ATP

REY [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - electron transport system.

Explanation:

There are 3 main stages of cellular respiration (aerobic) that are Glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle and the ETS or Electron Transport Chain. The formation of energy in ATPare as follows:

Glycolysis - glucose > 2 Pyretic Acid Molecules =>2 ATP and Hydrogen

The Krebs Cycle - Citric Acid (a derivative of Pyruvic Acid) > 2 ATP in 4 cycles and Hydrogen, carbon dioxide and water.

The Electron Transport Chain > electron carrying Hydrogens > releases the energy as 4 ATP and water

Thus, the correct answer is - The Electron Transport Chain is the stage that produces most of the ATP during cellular respiration.
