The original mass of krypton 81 that is present in the ice is 6.70 grams.
<h3>How do we calculate original mass?</h3>
Original mass of any substance will be calculated as below for the decomposition reaction is:
N = N₀(1/2)ⁿ, where
N = remaining mass of krypton-81 = 1.675g
N₀ = original mass of krypton-81 = ?
n will be calculated as:
n = T/t, where
T = total time period = 458,000 years
t = half life time = 229,000 years
n = 458,000/229,000 = 2
Now putting all these values on the above equation, we get
N₀ = 1.675 / (1/2)²
N₀ = 6.70 g
Hence required mass is 6.70 g.

Answer:
The complete aerobic oxidation of glucose is coupled to the synthesis of as many as 36 molecules of ATP
Explanation:
Glycolysis, the initial stage of glucose metabolism, takes place in the cytosol and does not involve molecular O2. It produces a small amount of ATP and the three-carbon compound pyruvate. In aerobic cells, pyruvate formed in glycolysis is transported into the mitochondria, where it is oxidized by O2 to CO2. Via chemiosmotic coupling, the oxidation of pyruvate in the mitochondria generates the bulk of the ATP produced during the conversion of glucose to CO2. The biochemical pathways that oxidize glucose and fatty acids to CO2 and H2O.
