Cellular respiration is the chemical process that makes energy required for day-to-day metabolic functions of an organism. The resulting energy is in the form of a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). There are two types of cellular respiration: aerobic and anaerobic, but both types start with glycolysis. Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose molecules which makes some ATP.

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen. It occurs in the mitochondria of cells. The overall chemical formula for this is
C6H12O6 + 6CO2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H20 + 38ATP
In this process, there are multiple stages: glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain (ETC). All of these stages are used to make ATP, but ETC makes the greatest amount of ATP. The other stages create reactants needed for ETC.

Anaerboic respiration does not use oxygen and is also called fermentation. It occurs after glycolysis. There are two types of this: lactic acid fermenation,which occurs in muscle cells and produces lactic acid, and alcoholic fermentation, which occurs in yeasts and can make bread and alcohol. The process produces some molecules that can produce more ATP in glycolysis.

<h2>Active and Passive Immunity</h2>

Explanation:

  • Immunity can be obtained distinctly and Recovery from clinical tetanus doesn't bring about assurance against future disease by <em>active or passive immunization</em> and recovery from the clinical<em> for example, immunization, immunoglobulin treatment, or move of maternal antibodies through the placenta</em>
  • Active inoculation stimulates the <em>immune system  to deliver antibodies against a specific irresistible specialist</em>
  • <em>Active immunity</em> can emerge normally, as when somebody is presented to a pathogen.<em> For example,</em> a person who recuperates from a first instance of the measles is <em>insusceptible to advance immunity</em>

a. What do the letters R and I represent ? b. What is the genotype of the pink-flowered snapdragons? c. Explain whether the alle
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

a) R= allele for red colored flower

I= Allele for ivory flowers

b) Genotype of pink flowered plant: RI

c) Incomplete dominance

d) 100%

Explanation:

When the dominant allele is not able to fully mask the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous state, it is said to be incomplete dominance. The R and I alleles impart red and ivory color respectively to the flowers of the snapdragon plant. The heterozygous genotype "RI" imparts a pink color to the flowers and therefore, the alleles are said to exhibit incomplete dominance.

The genotype of red-flowered snapdragon plant = RR. The genotype of ivory flowered snapdragon plant= II. When a red-flowered snapdragon plant is crossed with an ivory flowered snapdragon plant, the progeny is heterozygous in nature with the "RI" genotype. The phenotype of the progeny is "Pink flower" since the R allele is incompletely dominant over the allele I.

How did the person’s early years influence his/her achievements later in life?
vlabodo [156]
A person would have to consider Harriet' s upbringing in that time and imagine all the wrong doing she has seen regarding her parents care; therefore, witnessing her own care as a slave as well. It's no wonder that eventually, one would desire they're own true freedom.
