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.

So just how did pattern on a giraffe's body increases his chances of survival

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

survival of young giraffes is related to spot pattern, which might help provide camouflage from predators. ... This study revealed that newborn giraffes with larger spots and irregularly-shaped spots had increased survival during the first few months of life.

Adult tickets for the school musical sold for $3.50 and student tickets sold for $2.50. On a given night, 321 tickets were sold

nalin [4]

Answer:

total amount spent on student ticket = 186($2.5)=$465.00,

Total amount spent on adult tickets = 135($3.5)=$472.50

Explanation:

cost total = student ticket price (x) + adult ticket price (321 - x)

$937.50 = (2.5)(x) + (3.5)(321 - x)

$937.50 = 2.5x + 1123.5 - 3.5x

x = 186, therefore 186 student tickets sold,

(321-x) = 321-186 = 135, therefore 135 adult tickets were sold.

total amount spent on student ticket = 186($2.5)=$465.00,

Total amount spent on adult tickets = 135($3.5)=$472.50

So the total amount spent on tickets was

$472.50 + $465.00 = $937.50

Suppose two students were experimenting with yeast to study cellular respiration. One student found glucose to be the most effic

Anika [276]

The correct option is D. Organisms work best at their optimum temperature and pH, above and below these temperature they will not be able to function as expected. It is possible that the students above use different temperature and pH when they were carrying out their experiments, this will result in different efficiency rate by the yeasts.
