A. Aerobic respiration would continue until oxygen is no longer available, leading to cell death.
B. Aerobic respiration will continue to make the same amount of ATP since oxygen is not required.
C.Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

It is c bc it says the amount of ATP needed. so, since the amount needed is not there, it will make as much as it can in its absence.

When the swimmer is unable to take in enough oxygen for the sprint, the ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) will be compromised. In such conditions, the body will use anaerobic respiration to produce the ATP. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It used the electron acceptors in place of the oxygen in the respiratory cycle. The amount of the ATP produced is, however, less in anaerobic respiration.

Hence, the answer is 'Option C - Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen'.

What two organelles are included in the endosymbiosis theory?
timofeeve [1]
Chloroplast and mitochondria. Because both organelles are roughly the same size and shape as bacteria, have their own double layer membrane, and mitochondria have dna, that they were engulfed by early cells and are now organelles.

Some chains of carbon atoms bend when the carbon atoms:
svp [43]

Answer:

Fats with at least one double bond between carbon atoms are unsaturated fats. When some of these bonds are in the cis configuration, the resulting bend in the carbon backbone of the chain means that triglyceride molecules cannot pack tightly, so they remain liquid (oil) at room temperature.

How are convection currents produced in the air?
nika2105 [10]
Convection currents are caused by the colliding of cold and warm air. At night, air above water is warm and air above land is cold. The opposite is true in daytime. When the warm air hits the cold air, which is more dense, it is pushed upward. Then it travels laterally until it cools. It comes back down and pushes up the former cold air, which is now warm. This repeats many times.
