The right answer is A. uses pyruvic acid

Pyruvate, the final product of glycolysis, follows different catabolic pathways according to the nature of the organism and the metabolic conditions.

- Lactic fermentation: anaerobic glycolysis in the muscle in contraction or in certain tissue types (brain, retina, erythrocytes).

- Alcoholic fermentation: anaerobic glycolysis in yeast and certain microorganisms.

- The oxidative decarboxylation followed by the Krebs cycle: oxidation of pyruvate to CO2 and H2O in animals, plants and many prokaryotic aerobic cells.

Ans.

Aerobic respiration involves complete breakdown of a glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to generate energy, in the form of ATP molecules (36 molecules of ATP).

On the other hand, anaerobic respiration involves partial breakdown of a glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen to generate energy as ATP molecules (2 molecules of ATP).

The common feature, shared by both  aerobic and anaerobic respiration is use of pyruvate (pyruvic acid). The pyruvic acid is formed by the process of glycolysis, which is common for both the processes.  

In aerobic respiration, pyruvic acid is used to form acetyl coenzyme A that enters the Kreb's cycle, while during the anaerobic respiration, pyruvic acid is used to make alcohol or lactic acid to regenerate NAD+.

Thus, the correct answer is option A). 'uses pyruvic acid.'

Genetic variation helps populations adapt to a changing
timama [110]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is the kind of reproduction that requires two organisms (male and female) to form an offspring. The male organism produces gametes called SPERM while the female organism produces gametes called EGG. These two gametes come together in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a zygote, which develops into an offspring.

In sexual reproduction, gametes are produced by organisms involved via a process called MEIOSIS. Meiosis, however, reduces the chromosome number of the gametes by half. However, one process unique to only meiosis and sexual reproduction is called CROSSING OVER.

Crossing over is the process whereby chromosome segments is exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosome. This process causes a recombination of chromosomes (alleles) in such a way that the gametes will be genetically different from the parent organisms (genetic variation). According to this question, sexual reproduction leads to more genetic variation than asexual reproduction due to the process of CROSSING OVER that occurs in sexual reproduction.

Finger [1]
What you meant must be the adaptive advantage of the frogs' lungs. Frogs are considered as amphibians wherein the have this unique ability to reside either on land or in water. Their specialised lungs could be responsible to these which makes them capable of breathing oxygen in water and land.

An amoeba uses a sugar molecule during metabolic activity. It loses energy to the environment as a result. The transformation of
34kurt

Answer:

Option B, chemical energy to thermal energy

Explanation:

All living organism feed on food that contains energy in the form of chemical energy. Once the food is intake and processed for fulfilling energy requirement of all metabolic processes with in a cell, the remaining energy is released as heat (thermal energy). Thus, an amoeba while consuming a sugar molecule converts chemical energy with in the sugar to thermal energy in the form of energy molecules.

Hence, option B is correct
