Answer:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration

When roots take up mineral ions, they are built up against their concentration gradient. both anion and cation transport utilize

attashe74 [19]

I believe the answer is B, primary active transport. Root hair cells in plant use active transport to absorb mineral ions such as nitrates from the soil. The concentrations of minerals in the soil are lower in the soil than in within the root hair cell, therefore the transport will be against the concentration gradient which does not favor diffusion, therefore the pant has to use active transport.

Why do large organisms require a transport system?

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Larger animals have a lower surface area to volume ratio. This means they need transport systems like our circulatory system and exchange surfaces like our lungs or fish gills. In single-celled organisms such as protists, and small multicellular organisms, essential molecules will move to where they're needed by diffusion.
