The process of the scientific method involves making conjectures (hypotheses), deriving predictions from them as logical consequences, and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions. A hypothesis is a conjecture, based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the question.
Answer: (c) It generates ATP, which cells can use to do work.
(d) It generates chemical gradients, which have potential energy.
Explanation:
The overall process of Cellular respiration is the aerobic break down of organic compounds (food) with the release of CO2, water and energy in form of ATP which drives most cellular work.
Organic compound + oxygen --------> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP + heat)
In cellular respiration during the break down of food in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, chemical energy (NADH and FADH) are extracted from each cellular process and transported to the electron transport chain built in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The chemical energy harvested from food is transformed into a proton-motive force, a gradient of H+ across the membrane. When this H+ election fall from their gradient via ATP synthase, Chemiosmosis couples this proton motive force to phosphorylate ADP to form ATP.
The cranial nerve most likely to be affected hat is evidenced by acute labyrinthitis is the EIGHTH Cranial Nerve named Vestibulocochlear.
Vestibulocochlear nerve dysfunction can cause hearing loss, vertigo, or tinnitus. The dysfunction is a result of the damage in either the cochlear or vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve. Damage is between the inner ear and its entry into the brainstem at the pontomedullary junction.
Vestibular neuritis is also identified as labyrinthitis, vestibular neuronitis, and acute peripheral vestibulopathy.
