The energy released when sugar molecules are broken down is transferred to bonds in which molecule

1 answer:

8 0

Sugar molecules (i.e. glucose) are broken down into simpler molecules such as pyruvate. Pyruvate, in the presence of oxygen will be converted to Acetyl-CoA and it will enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle wherein it will produce series of reducing compounds such as NADH and FADH. These reducing compounds are then processed in the electron transport chain and oxidized, and the energy released in the oxidation of NADH and FADH is transferred to the high energy phosphate bond of adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Independent assortment

Explanation:

The law of independent assortment says that genes for different traits or characteristics assort independently from each other during gamete formation. So each contrasting character's pair assort independently and do not show any association with the pair of other characters.

So after gamete formation collectively the gametes have all the possible combinations of alleles because all the genes are assorted independently in gametes.

This independent assortment of traits leads to some new combination of characteristics in the offspring. Therefore the correct answer is independent assortment.

In most cases, the two major climatic factors affecting the distribution of organisms in terrestrial ecosystems are __________.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

precipitation and temperature

Explanation:

Temperature and water are considered major abiotic factors that affect species distribution in terrestrial ecosystems. The temperature can affect the distribution of terrestrial organisms due to many species maintain a constant internal temperature, while other species maintain a body temperature range that may be very different from the environmental temperature, and therefore they will not be able to carry out their metabolic functions. Hibernation is an adaptation that allows some terrestrial animals to escape temperature fluctuations. Moreover, water is another limiting factor for life, since water is critical for cellular processes. The waxy cuticle is an adaptation that allows terrestrial plants to avoid excessive water loss through transpiration.

An animal trainer is conditioning an elephant to startle at the sound of a trombone. Every time she plays the trombone, she then

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, the elephant will not react.

Explanation:

A kind of behavior that comprises a stimulus-response, which is distinct from the natural one is termed as conditioning. It is a kind of learned behavior. It is a kind of learning where the efficacy of stimulus enhances while provoking a response. When the presentation of two stimuli is done at a suitable time and with appropriate intensity, then one of them will be able to provoke a response that resembles the other one.

In the given case, the mouse and the trombone are termed as unconditioned and conditioned stimuli. When a conditioned stimulus is demonstrated in a context of classical conditioning, it will result in the non-predication of the coming unconditioned stimulus. The conditioned response will get to cease slowly and will eliminate the conditioned fear. Thus, in the given case, the elephant will fail to react towards the trombone subsequently.
