Answer:
The rock must be eroded into sediment
Explanation:
In order to form sedimentary rock, the accumulated sediment must become compacted and cemented together.
This question is asking for the number of ATP that is produced by the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain.
Citrate is the first biological substance in the citric acid cycle and it is the starting point of the cycle. From one molecule of citrate, the citric acid cycle will produce 2 ATP while the electron transport chain will produce 34 ATP. Therefore, together both the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain will produce 36 ATP.
Answer:
There are two possible answers: Deep-sea vents provided the energy needed for the first organic compounds to form OR self-replicating RNA molecules passed on genetic information.
Explanation:
The reason for the first answer is due to the hypothesis that indicates that life (organic molecules) arose from inorganic molecules synthesized from the amino acids in those energy vents. This is called the metabolism first hypothesis. The Miller-Urey Experiment provided evidence that organisms could rise from inorganic molecules (they simulated under the conditions you would see on early Earth). The second hypothesis is the RNA World hypothesis (second answer) which suggests that the formation of RNA that could replicate (possible due to mutation or evolution), led to life that could preserve its genetic integrity through replication (greater stability to the organism) and create lipid bi-layer membranes/other organelles. Some scientists support the Metabolism First Hypothesis, while others are skeptical (this goes for the RNA World Hypothesis as well). However, the RNA World Hypothesis is for more reasonable in the fact that its main point is the fact that RNA molecules were able to replicate and maintain genetic stability despite early Earth conditions. Although either hypothesis could explain why all organisms share the same genetic code, the RNA World Hypothesis better explains the universality of DNA/RNA of genes that we see today.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
During prophase I, the homologous chromosomes condense and become visible as the x shape we know, pair up to form a tetrad, and exchange genetic material by crossing over.
