Answer:

B. Cells in Alex’s body underwent mitosis to create new tissue

Explanation:

Mitosis is the cell division that forms two genetically identical daughter cells from one parent cell. It occurs in somatic cells and is responsible for the growth and development of individuals.  

Alex gained the height as the cells in tissues of his body underwent the mitosis and produced new daughter cells. Repeated cycles of mitosis added a large number of new cells to his body to form new tissues in his body parts and caused an increase in his height.

.<br> Which causes the pH of a solution to increase?
tamaranim1 [39]

Diluting an acid decreases the concentration of H+(aq) ions , which increases the pH level of the solution towards 7 , making it less acidic . However , the pH level of an acidic solution cannot become greater than 7 , because the water you add to dilute it is not alkaline .

Energy Metabolism Pathways Carbohydrate metabolism is responsible for the formation, breakdown, and interconversion of carbohydr
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The glucose conversion to PYRUVATE opens anaerobic and aerobic metabolic pathways. VITAMIN B NIACIN in its role as a coenzyme during glycolysis, escorts hydrogen and electrons to the electron transport chain and the TCA cycle. In the Cori cycle, the release of energy from ATP converts lactate to glucose and returns the glucose molecule to the muscles through the process of Anaerobic Glycolysis.

Explanation:

In metabolism, glycolysis is defined as the splitting of the glucose molecule to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. It is the first main metabolic pathway in cellular respiration for the production of energy in form of ATP(Adenosine triphosphate).

In most cells, cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen. This is known as AEROBIC RESPIRATION which produces the largest number of ATP. Energy can also be gotten by breaking down of glucose in the complete absence of oxygen. This is known as ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION.

The next stage in the degradation of glucose is a two step conversion of the two pyruvic acid molecules from glycolysis into two molecules of acetyl coenzyme A( acetyl - CoA). This occurs in the TCA( tricarboxylic acid) or Krebs cycle.

VITAMIN B NIACIN in its role as a coenzyme during glycolysis, escorts hydrogen and electrons to the electron transport chain and the TCA cycle. Coenzyme A is a derivative of vitamin B which combines with pyruvic acid to form acetyl CoA , 2 molecules of carbon dioxide and 4 molecules of hydrogen in TCA cycle.

In Cori Cycle, (which is also called Lactic acid cycle), energy released from ATP is used to convert lactate to glucose. This is to prevent increased lactic acid in the blood during anaerobic conditions in the muscles.
