(High) Heat Capacity

Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 unit degree (Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, Rankine). 

Water has a relatively high heat capacity, which means that it would have to absorb relatively large amounts of heat before it could actually have a large change (i.e. increases) in temperature. Conversely, it would have to give off a lot of heat in order for it to cool down.

The heat capacity of 1 gram of water is 4.184 Joules/°C, which means that 1 gram of water needs 4.184 Joules of heat to increase its temperature by 1°C. In comparison, 1 gram of copper only needs 0.385 Joules to raise its temperature by 1°C, which means that copper heats up by about 10 times more than water when subjected to the same amount of heat.

What stage of respiration immediately follows the process depicted below? Two pyruvate molecules undergo a chemical reaction, co
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Electron transport chain

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process whereby glucose is broken down in the cell to yield energy in form of ATP. This process, which is important to the metabolic functioning of every organism, occurs in three major stages namely: glycolysis, kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC).

According to this question, a stage of respiration is described as follows:

- Two pyruvate molecules undergo a chemical reaction, combining with coenzyme A to form two acetyl-CoA molecules.

- Two carbon dioxide molecules and two NADH molecules are formed as a result of this process.

The process depicted above is KREB'S CYCLE of cellular respiration, hence, the stage of respiration that immediately follows the process is called ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN (ETC).
