Answer:

2 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of NADH

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration (break down of glucose to extract energy) which occurs in the cytoplasm. Glycolysis is a pathway common to all living organisms- prokaryotes and eukaryotes, as it does not require oxygen to occur.

Glycolysis occurs in two major phases (ten steps) requiring 10 enzymes catalyzing each step; the energy-requiring phase and the energy-requiring phase.

In the energy-requiring phase, the starting molecule (glucose) gets rearranged in a series of chemical reactions, and two phosphate groups gets attached to it producing fructose-1,6-bisphosphate which is unstable, This modified sugar then splits in half due to its instability to form two different but inter-convertible phosphate-bearing three-carbon sugars (Dihydroxyacetonephosphate, DHAP and Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, G3P). Because the phosphates used in these steps come from 2 ATP molecules, 2 ATP molecules get used up in this phase

All the DHAP molecules get converted to G-3-P in order to enter the next phase.

In the energy-recovering phase, the 3-carbon sugar (G3P) is converted into another three-carbon molecule called pyruvate, through a series of reactions. In these reactions, two ATP and 1 NADH molecules are made. This recovery phase occurs twice (one for each of the two isomeric three-carbon sugars, DHAP and G3P). Hence, a total of 4 ATP and 2 NADH molecules are produced in this phase.

Overall, Glycolysis converts one glucose (six-carbon) molecule to two pyruvate (three-carbon) molecules and a net release of 2 ATP molecules (4 overall - 2 used) and 2 NADH molecules.

Why do offspring produced sexually look similar to their<br> parents but not identical?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

In the process of sexual reproduction, haploid gametes produced by the meiotic division fuses to form a diploid zygote. A child inherits half of the genetic material from each parent. So, it may be they look alike but they are not identical to their parents.

dangina [55]

Answer:

Here, the stimulus which is discussed in the question is the Suckling stimulus which is also known as Suckling reflex.  

Suckling by a child stimulates the suckling reflex system. The stimulus (information) reaches to the Hypothalamus. Hypothalamus triggers the TRH (thyrotropin-releasing hormone) which further triggers the releases of the Prolactin (PRL) hormone by the Anterior Pituitary.

Finally, when Prolactin reaches the blood, it stimulates the Mammary glands which being stimulated, start to produce milk.

Explanation:

The main function of Prolactin is to produce milk. Prolactin production is mainly controlled by Hypothalamus. Prolactin hormone is produced in Pituitary, uterus, etc. The prolactin hormone production is also controlled by the estrogen.

  • Prolactin regulation is also controlled by Dopamine and Oestrogen. Both of them regulates the onset and stoppage of prolactin production by sending the information to the pituitary gland. Dopamine mainly blocks the production when the level of prolactin is too high in the blood. Oestrogen mainly increases the production when the level of prolactin in the blood is too low.  
  • Not only Prolactin boost up the milk production but it also helps in maintaining the female's body metabolism, immune system, regulating the menstrual cycle, and regulating body fluid levels. In males, it increases sperm production.
