A cheetah runs with a sudden burst of speed. Which process causes the production of the most of the energy the cheetah uses to r
nadya68 [22]

The correct answer is B. Electron transport.

The electron transport chain is the terminal step of aerobic respiration. It occurs on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH₂ are produced during glycolysis and Krebs cycle. When NADH and FADH₂ move along electron transport chains, high-energy electrons are released from NADH and FADH₂ produce ATP.  The final electron acceptor in the process is free oxygen. Each NADH produces 3 ATP and each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP. Therefore, a total of 32 ATP molecules are generated in electron transport. Therefore, the electron transport system releases a lots of energy for cheetah to run fast.

Hoochie [10]

Apart from being activated when an individual performs a motor act or observes another individual engaging in the same act, mirror neurons in humans are also connected with empathy, the evolution of language and even autism. Mirror neurons make people react or feel the same as the person they are watching, and this is known as empathy. However, for people with autism, they may have reduced mirror neuron activity which causes difficulties for them to detect feelings or empathize with other people.

(American Psychological Association, 2005).
