Sugar and oxygen are the reactants of the cell respiration.

Further Explanation:

Cellular respiration or cell respiration occurs in the living cells. It is the process by which energy is produced in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). It provides energy for the metabolic activity of the cell. It involves a series of chemical reactions, namely; glycolysis (the breakdown of glucose), citric acid cycle and electron transport chain.

Oxygen and glucose (sugar) are the reactants that undergo a metabolic reaction to produce energy. Oxygen enters the body through breathing and glucose is obtained from food. Glucose is the complex substrate which is broken down into water and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen. So, carbon dioxide and water are the products.

During cellular respiration, one glucose molecule reacts with six oxygen molecules that yield six molecules of carbon dioxide and water. During the process, ATP is generated. The breakdown or metabolism of glucose(one molecule) will result in thirty-six to thirty-eight molecules of ATP.

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

B) Sugar and oxygen.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be described a metabolic process that includes the break down of organic molecule like glucose (a carbohydrate or sugar) to form carbon dioxide and water along with large amount of energy in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphates), which is used for driving various cellular processes.

Aerobic cellular respiration involves the presence of oxygen along with glucose.

Thus, sugar and oxygen, being the reactants in cellular respiration is the right answer.

Lh is released by the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate sertoli cells to produce sperm. (lo 13.2) true or false

harina [27]

This is false for a number of reasons. While LH (which stands for Leutinizing Hormone) is released by the anterior pituitary gland and can be present in both females and males, it play a more predominant role in females. Working closely with FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) a surge in LH begins the process of ovulation and the development of the Corpeus Leuteum.

In Males it is used both for the production of sperm but to stimulate the production of testosterone.

How does atp get converted from food molecules to protein?

nignag [31]

Light energy has to be converted into chemical energy in ATP molecules. Plants change light into sugar molecules and both plants and animals change sugar into ATP molecules, which allows for our survival

Which of these hypothetical scenarios are examples of pleiotropy?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answers are A and B.

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is defined as "when a single gene affects two or more phenotypic characteristic of an organism.". Phenotypic refers to the traits that can be physically observed or measured in an organism, for example height, hair color etc. So the examples of pleiotropy in the given options are in A and B which describe situations where one gene affects two or more phenotypic traits.

I hope this answer helps.
