A mixture can vary in composition, but a pure substance has a set composition.
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago

Answer:

A mixture can vary in composition, but a pure substance has a set composition.

Explanation:

    In general, pure substances are hardly found isolated in nature and are found in the form of mixtures, ie, associated with other substances. This means that we and almost everything around us are examples of mixtures of the most varied pure substances.

    Pure substances are materials that have constant chemical composition and physical and chemical properties as they do not change at constant pressure and temperature.

   Mixture is the union of two or more different substances (regardless of whether they are simple or compound). It has different and variable (non-fixed) physical characteristics (melting point, boiling point, density, toughness, etc.) compared to its constituent substances.

Surprisingly, in a number of reactions in which either ATP or GTP are involved, the critical event is not due to the hydrolysis
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "phosphorylation of glucose".

Explanation:

The phosphorylation of glucose is one of the most important catabolic reactions that allow to obtain energy from sugars. This reaction is the first step of glycolysis and avoid cells to lose sugars by diffusing back to its transporter. The phosphate used to phosphorylate glucose comes from the hydrolysis of one of the three phosphate of adenosine triphosphate. Therefore, phosphorylation of glucose is a processes where ATP hydrolysis is directly involved.

How many different species of shrimp are currently found in the waters surrounding the isthmus if panama
hichkok12 [17]
There are approximately 12 transisthmian shrimps species, called sister species because they cannot interbreed effectively, in the Isthmus of Panama. It is believed that the closure of the Panama resulted to allopatric speciation of the shrimp population within the region.

When not enough oxygen is available to cells during rigorous exercise, muscle cells must convert pyruvate to __________ to gener
Kipish [7]

The correct answer is: A) lactic acid.

During the exercise, muscle cells use anaerobic respiration in order to make enough energy in the form of ATP. Anaerobic respiration doesn’t require oxygen, but glucose is broken down to produce energy. Glucose is broken down to pyruvate in the process called glycolysis. Next step is convert of pyruvate into lactic acid (or lactate).

During the exercise, the oxygen level in muscle cells decreases, which results in anaerobic respiration of the cells.
