The aerobic system of energy production uses glycogen, but primarily glucose as its energy source.

Glucose is taken in by the cell and broken into pyruvate in the process of glycolysis, the first step in aerobic cell respiration. It takes place in the cell cytoplasm.

Pyruvate is then used in the Krebs cycle in the cell mitochondria in the second step of respiration which produces high energy electron carriers. These high energy electron carries such as NADP are then employed in the electron transport chain, the last step of the respiration process, where a large number of ATP molecules is produced.

By the time the process of aerobic respiration ends, 36 to 38 molecules of ATP are produced from one single molecule of glucose.

What are endorphins and how do these chemicals alter the communication of pain in the body?

Solnce55 [7]

Endorphins are brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters which are released when the body feels a certain amount of stress and pain. Endorphins alter the communication of pain in the body by interacting with the opiate receptors and blocking the synapse so that signals cannot be sent to the brain in order to reduce an individual perception of pain.

An enzyme in a cell became dysfunctional because of an alteration. As a result, the DNA strands would not separate to begin the

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

C. Helicases

Explanation:

Helicases to be termed as enzymes that is blind and contains acid i.e. remodel nucleic or have protein i.e. nucleic acid. It is important as the time of DNA replication as it divided the DNA i.e. double stranded into one single standard that permits each and every strand for copied it

Also it cracks the bonds i.e. hydrogen that lies between the two strands this could create a replication fork.

Therefore in the given case, the helicases is affected

Choose a plant tissue. Write an explanation of how that tissue’s structure relates to its function. Be specific and detailed.

LenKa [72]

There are two types of plant tissues: meristematic tissue found in plant regions of continuous cell division and growth, and permanent (or non-meristematic) tissue consisting of cells that are no longer actively dividing.Meristems produce cells that differentiate into three secondary tissue types: dermal tissue which covers and protects the plant, vascular tissue which transports water, minerals, and sugars and ground tissue which serves as a site for photosynthesis, supports vascular tissue, and stores nutrients.Vascular tissue is made of xylem tissue which transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant and phloem tissue which transports organic compounds from the site of photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.The xylem and phloem always lie next to each other forming a structure called a vascular bundle in stems and a vascular stele or vascular cylinder in roots.Parts of the shoot system include the vegetative parts, such as the leaves and the stems, and the reproductive parts, such as the flowers and fruits.
