andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

In secondary succession, a previously occupied area is re-colonized following a disturbance that kills much or all of its community.

Select the correct sequence of steps as energy is extracted from glucose during cellular respiration.
White raven [17]

Answer:

a.glycolysis   d.acetyl CoA   b.citric acid cycle   e.electron transport chain

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is set of metabolic processes that occur within the cell in order to produce usable energy (ATP) from the nutrients (food). It can be divided into four main stages:

  1. Glycolysis-anareobic process in which glucose is broken down and it occurs in the cytoplasm.  Products of glycolysis are 2 molecules of pyruvate and 2 molecules of ATP.
  2. Transition- Pyruvate form the glycolysis  is transported into the mitochondria, where it is converted to a molecule  Acetyl CoA used for further breakdown
  3. Citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle- aerobic  process that occurs in the mitochondria matrix in which 4  molecules of ATP, and  NADH are produced
  4. Electron transport chain-set of reactions that occur within the cristae of mitochondria. NADH and electrons are passed  through electron transport chain to result in the production of ATP (32 ATPs for every glucose).
