Answer;
Glucose
The nutrient that can be used to produce energy in the absence of oxygen is glucose.

Explanation;
Production of energy without using glucose is called anaerobic respiration. During this type of respiration less energy is released than the case of aerobic respiration. This is because the breakdown of glucose is incomplete. Anaerobic respiration produces an oxygen debt, which is the amount of oxygen needed to break lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water.

7. What causes greenhouse gasses to absorb heat when gasses like oxygen do not?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Hope the below helps!

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases (such as methane, carbon dioxide etc) have lots of vibrating particles. These molecules eventually release radiation, which travels up Earth's atmosphere (because warm air rises), is trapped and adds to the greenhouse gas effect.

Oxygen and nitrogen don't interfere with infrared waves in the atmosphere. That's because molecules are picky about the range of wavelengths that they interact with.

I have attached a diagram that shows the greenhouse effect. It might help to visualise this.

Answer:

The correct answer is synapse, electrical signals, neurotransmitters.

Synapses are thought of as the site of converting an electrical signal into a neurotransmitter release which is a chemical signal.

Thus, the correct answer is synapse, electrical signals, neurotransmitters.
