olecule. Cellular respiration produces about 32 ATP from one glucose molecule. What happens to the rest of the energy in glucose?a. It is stored as fat.b. It is converted to heat.c. It is used to make water from hydrogen ions and oxygen.d. It is released as carbon dioxide and watere. It is converted to starch.

Answer:

b. It is converted to heat.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process of energy transformation. During this process,  the chemical energy present in the chemical bonds of glucose molecules is first stored in the form of NADH and FAD2. Then the same is used to drive the process of ATP synthesis during oxidative phosphorylation.  Each process of energy transformation loses some of the energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. The lost energy can not perform any function. Therefore, part of the energy of glucose is also lost in the form of heat as the process of cellular respiration follows the laws of thermodynamics.

Compare and contrast the structures of DNA and RNA
katovenus [111]

DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule.

What happens during cellular respiration
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

in cellular respiration food is oxidized to CO2 while O2 is reduced into H2O Cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. Usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration.Aerobic respiration, the process that does use oxygen, produces much more energy and doesn’t produce lactic acid. It also produces carbon dioxide as a waste product, which then enters the circulatory system

Explain how moving water can cause erosion. PLEASE HELP!!
mart [117]
Rainfall can cause erosion both when the rain hits the surface of the Earth, called splash erosion, and when raindrops accumulate and flow like small streams. Rivers can create a significant amount of erosion over time. They break up particles along the river bottom and carry them downstream. One example of river erosion is the Grand Canyon which was formed by the Colorado River. Ocean waves can cause the coastline to erode. The shear energy and force of the waves causes pieces of rock and coastline to break off changing the coastline over time. Large floods can cause erosion to happen very quickly acting like powerful rivers.
