Answer:

The Phosphorus Cycle, in contrast to the other cycles, does not include a gas stage and only takes place in land and water environments - not in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The Phosphorus Cycle is a biogeochemical cycle in which phosphorus, a chemical element, circulates around the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and the biosphere. This indicates that, in contrast to the Water, Carbon, and Nitrogen Cycles, this cycle does not include a gas stage and only takes place in land and water environments.

The Water, Carbon, and Nitrogen Cycles, on the other hand, are biogeochemical cycles in which their chemical elements also circulate around land and water but, in contrast to phosphorus, they move around the atmosphere.

What kind of evidence would be needed in order to change any part of cell theory?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

In order to change any part of the cell theory, we will have to prove that the cells are not the basic unit of life. We will have to provide evidence that a cell does not distinguish a living thing from a non-living thing. We will either have to prove the spontaneous generation to be true or have to prove that if not cells, then what are the basic units of life. We will also need evidence to prove that a cell does not arise from a pre-existing cell.

Flura [38]

The structures of chloroplast and mitochondria are similar. Both organelles consist of a smooth outer membrane, folded inner membrane (in chloroplasts called lamellae, in mitochondria called cristae), and fluid intracellular space (in chloroplast called stroma, in mitochondria called matrix). Only these structures allow those organelles to perform their function. The presence of folded inner membranes enables a formation of compartments inside the organelles. Differences in concentrations of hydrogen ions in those compartments are important for photosynthesis in chloroplasts and cellular respiration in mitochondria.

Oxidative reactions used by aerobic bacteria to generate ATP use ______ as a terminal electron acceptor.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process whereby living organisms synthesize energy in form of ATP. However, it can either be aerobic or anaerobic depending on whether it occurs with or without oxygen. Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen.

The aerobic cellular respiration is further divided into glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The oxidative reactions used by aerobic bacteria to generate ATP use OXYGEN as a terminal or final electron acceptor.
