Answer:

The discs flex and squish

Explanation:

Backbone is the spinal column that is found in all vertebrate animals. It runs along the dorsal side and contains the central nerve cord which is reffered to as spinal cord.

The electrical signals is transferred from the brain to muscles of the skeleton and internal organs by the spinal nerve.And also transfer sensory messages such as pressure,warmth, and pain from the muscles, joints and internal organs our brain with the help of the spinal cord.

Disks flex is made up of a solid, different layers of cartilage fiber. and also a gel-like core.All these composition make the spine flexible so that we can lean and upper body can be rotated. The disk is also as shock absorber because it helps to transfer shock to the spine when we the body is in motion like during running or jumping exercise.

Anytime pressure is exerted on the spine, there is a discharge of fluid by the spinal disk, then it will become thinner i.e compressed. By the time the pressure is lifted, the fluid is absorbed and it becomes thicker.

In my opinion I think the main events of glycolysis. How many ATP molecules are produces and consumed by glycolysis? What effect
svlad2 [7]

Glycolysis uses 2 ATP and produce 4ATP. So the net gain is true.

Oxygen is used in the Electron Transport Chain as the final electron recipient from complex 4 cytochrome a₃.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the process which is common in all forms of respiration where glucose is metabolized into pyruvate. This process is very essential to continue the next steps of different respiration. Glycolysis requires 2 molecules to process substrate level phosphorylation to convert glucose to glucose 6 phosphate and fructose 6 phosphate to fructose 1, 6 bisphosphate. But it produces 4 ATPs. Thus net gain is 2ATP.

In ETC, the hydrogen carriers NADH and FADH gives off the hydrogen to reduce the complex 1 and 2 respectively and itself gets oxidized. Thus the electron given off is transferred between 4 complexes to finally give off to oxygen to form water.
