Answer:

36 ATPs

Explanation:

Cellular respiration starts with glycolysis wherein glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis forms two molecules of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation for each glucose molecule. Both pyruvate molecules are converted into acetyl CoA to enter into the Kreb's cycle. Kreb's cycle forms two ATP molecules by substrate-level phosphorylation. NADH and FADH2 formed during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle are oxidized by the electron transport chain. This process also forms as many as 34 ATP molecules. If acetyl CoA is not formed, the total ATP gain per glucose will be only 2 ATP molecules (from glycolysis only) which is 38-2= 36 less than the total.

Answer:

Melanin will not be produced and this will  result in albinism.

Explanation:

Albinism can be described as a condition which arises when there is little or no melanin production in an individual's body. It is considered to be an inherited disorder. This kind of disorder mostly occurs when mutations terminate the working of the enzyme tyrosinase. This enzyme is involved in the synthesis of melanin from the amino acid tyrosine. Hence, the termination of this enzyme will lead to the termination of melanin production.

Answer:

B.  Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

An easy way to remember this is if something has the potential to fall from height, that medium will more than likely have gravitational potential energy.

Elastic EP is more so for when materials bend and warp, think of the energy in a stretched rubber band before you let it go

Vibrational energy is more along the lines of atoms and molecules which are constantly vibrating

Radiant energy is energy of electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight or radiation, etc
