Answer:

Diatoms

Explanation:

Diatoms are a photosynthetic eukaryotic phytoplankton that virtually found in all waterways, fresh waters and  oceans, and also in most soils on earth. Diatoms play a very important role in the global carbon cycle. Diatoms are single-celled algae that has a characteristics cell wall that is made up of transparent opaline silicia that are elegantly sculpted.

When diatoms die, their shell or skeleton that is composed of silica, do not decay, but settle at the bottom of oceans as sediments to form what is often referred to as diatomaceous earth. It is this diatomaceous earth deposit that is then converted to diatomite powder, which is used as pesticides against insects such as ants, cockroaches, bedbugs and some other pests.

How many atp molecules are added to get glycolysis started
romanna [79]

Answer:

2 ATP

Explanation:

2 ATP is required to get the glycolysis started. The glycolysis process is divided into two parts, the first part is called the preparatory phase in which energy is required and the second part is called the payoff phase in which energy is produced.

During the first phase in the first step during the conversion of glucose to glucose six phosphate one ATP is consumed and in the third step during the conversion of fructose 6 phosphate to fructose 1,6 biphosphate one more ATP is consumed and in the second phase, 4 ATP is produced.

Therefore the net gain is 2 ATP because 2 ATP are added to get glycolysis started.
