Answer:

Endocrine disruptors are the synthetic or natural chemicals that may interfere with the functioning of the endocrine system in the human body. These chemicals mimic the naturally occurring hormones produced in the body like estrogen (a female sex hormone) and androgen (a male sex hormone) also these interfere with the production of the thyroid hormone. They bind to the receptors present in a cell and prevents the endogenous hormone from binding. The normal signaling process fails to respond properly.

Chemicals that functions as endocrine disruptors include dioxine, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides and DDT.

Write the formula that shows the release of energy by the mitochondria

Pie

Answer:

Mitochondria is the organelle where cellular respiration takes place. Cellular respiration can be described as a process in which oxygen and glucose are converted into carbon dioxide and water along with the release of ATP. This reaction can be written as:

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP molecules

C6H12O6 + 6O2→ 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

The ATP made can be broken down so that energy is released.

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + free energy

During when we are alive, oxygen is used to make atp, and atp is used to break cross-brdiges when we are relaxing / contracting our muscles. when a person is dead then there is no oxygen but the body can still produce atp via anaerobic glycolysis, when the glycogen is depleted then no atp is produce so the the cross bridges can no logner be broken that is why skeletal muscles lock
