Answer:

C₆H₁₂O₆ and O₂ are reactant.

CO₂ and H₂O are products.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.

Steps involve in anaerobic respiration are:

Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It involve the breakdown of one glucose molecule into pyruvate and 2ATP.

Fermentation

The second step of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. It involve the fermentation of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol depending upon the organism in which it is taking place. There is no ATP produced, however carbon dioxide is released in this step.

Two methanol-water mixtures are contained in separate tanks. The first mixture contains 40.0 wt% methanol and the second contain

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

$M_{per}= 52.86$

$W_{per}=47.14$

Explanation:

First mixture:

40 wt% methanol - 60 wt% water 200 kg

$m_{met1}=200 kg * 0.4= 80 kg$

$m_{wat1}=200 kg * 0.6= 120 kg$

Second mixture:

70 wt% methanol - 30 wt% water 150 kg

$m_{met2}=150 kg * 0.7= 105 kg$

$m_{wat2}=150 kg * 0.3= 45 kg$

Final mixture:

$m_{metF=80 kg + 105 kg= 185 kg$

$m_{watF}=120 kg + 45 = 165 kg$

$M_{per}=\frac{185 kg}{185 kg + 165 kg}*100= 52.86$

$W_{per}=\frac{165 kg}{185 kg + 165 kg}*100=47.14$

If, the compositions are constant, the only variables are the mass of each mixture used in the final one, so there can be only one independent balance.

Sound energy is caused by ___

sergey [27]

Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy. (I believe this is it)

What occurs during a slump?

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

A slump is a form of mass wasting that occurs when a coherent mass of loosely consolidated materials or a rock layer moves a short distance down a slope.[1] Movement is characterized by sliding along a concave-upward or planar surface. Causes of slumping include earthquake shocks, thorough wetting, freezing and thawing, undercutting, and loading of a slope.

I need help with 17

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer and explanation:

A chemical change occurs when new substances or materials are produced to have different chemical properties from the reactants.

Some examples of this are paper burning, fruit rotting, and metal rusting.
