I would probably drink a small amount of ocean water in 20 monute intervals, to not over dehydrate myself. This would probably give me enough time to go find other sources of water on the island (eg. coconuts) tp get clean water. In my opinion, this would be a better option than drinking contaminated fresh water. There is a higher risk of getting infected by the bacteria in the water, which would be why its better to take the contaminated fresh water only as a last resort option.

I'm not really sure what I just typed but hopefully it makes some kind of sense to you☺

For my opinion I will drink a contaminated fresh water.But first I will filter the water with clean towel or maybe with clean sock.The reason why I not choose sea water because sea water is dangerous for human because it contain hight amount of salt(to much sodium can kill us).Human kidney can only produce salty urine lesser than salty sea water.

Although glycolysis produces four molecules of atp by substrate-level phosphorylation, the net gain of atp for the cell is two m
omeli [17]

Although glycolysis produces four molecules of atp by substrate-level phosphorylation, the net gain of atp for the cell is two molecules. This is because glycolysis is at first endergonic.

<h3>What is glycolysis?</h3>
  • The metabolic process that turns glucose into pyruvic acid is known as glycolysis.
  • The high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide are created using the free energy released during this process.
  • A series of ten enzyme-catalyzed processes make up glycolysis.
  • The process by which glucose is broken down to provide energy is known as glycolysis.
  • It generates two pyruvate molecules, ATP, NADH, and water.
  • There is no need for oxygen throughout the process, which occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell.
  • Both aerobic and anaerobic creatures experience it.
  • The initial process in breaking down glucose to release energy for cellular metabolism is called glycolysis.
  • An energy-consuming phase and an energy-releasing phase make up glycolysis.
