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.

Why ureolytic bacteria use urea? And why they produce CaCO3?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Due to urease activity, bacteria are able to use urea as a sole nitrogen source and produce ammonia, which increases the pH in the proximal environment, causing Ca2+ and CO32- to precipitate as CaCO3.

What allows scientists to predict future climate change with some sense of accuracy?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Climate models can show the composition of the atmosphere in the future.

Explanation:

Climate models help predict how the average conditions will change in a region and they also serve as an extension of weather forecasting. They are quite broad and can make analysis and predictions over long time spans.

These models are generated from some set of mathematical principles with different data points numbering over a thousand. These large data points help increase the accuracy of the models.
