Answer:

Cellular respiration is an exothermic chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Energy is the ability to perform a job or to produce heat. Chemical reactions involve a rearrangement of atoms between substances with rupture or formation of chemical bonds and this generates changes in the energy of the system.

An exothermic reaction is one where energy is released from the system into the environment in the form of heat.

Cellular respiration is carried out in the mitochondria of the cells. There the oxygen absorbed from the external environment is combined with carbohydrates (raw material) to release the chemical energy they contain. Water vapor and carbon dioxide are also released.

Then, Cellular respiration is an exothermic chemical reaction.

Answer: C.

Explanation: Cellular respiration will release energy (exothermic), and the atoms in the reactants will rearrange into something else, a chemical change.

If each NADHNADH generates 3 ATPATP molecules and each FADH2FADH2 generates 2 ATPATP molecules, calculate the number of ATPATP m

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

$128~ATP$

Explanation:

The metabolic pathway by which energy can be obtained from a fatty acid is called "beta-oxidation". In this route, acetyl-Coa is produced by removing 2 carbons from the fatty acid for each acetyl-Coa produced. In other words, for each round, 1 acetyl Coa is produced and for each round 2 carbons are removed from the initial fatty acid. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the number of rounds that will take place for an 18-carbon fatty acid using the following equation:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{n}{2}-1$

Where "n" is the number of carbons, in this case "18", so:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{18}{2}-1~=~8$

We also have to calculate the amount of Acetyl-Coa produced:

$Number~of~Acetyl-Coa=\frac{18}{2}~=~9$

Now, we have to keep in mind that in each round in the beta-oxidation we will have the production of 1 $FADH_2$ and 1 $NADH$ . So, if we have 8 rounds we will have 8 $FADH_2$ and 8 $NADH$ .

Finally, for the total calculation of ATP. We have to remember the yield for each compound:

-) $1~FADH_2~=~2~ATP$

-) $1~NADH~=~3~ATP$

-) $Acetyl~CoA~=~10~ATP$

Now we can do the total calculation:

$(8*2)~+~(8*3)~+~(9*10)=130~ATP$

We have to subtract "2 ATP" molecules that correspond to the activation of the fatty acid, so:

$130-2=128~ATP$

In total, we will have 128 ATP.

I hope it helps!

How is a metallic compound different from an ionic compound?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Ionic compounds are compounds whereas metals are elements. Ionic compounds are electrolytes whereas metals are conductors. Ionic compounds are brittle whereas metals are malleable and ductile. ... Most ionic compounds will dissolve in polar solvents like water whereas metals will either be insoluble or react with water.
