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.

All the following are true of the movement of Earth's atmosphere except :

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

All are true of the movement of Earth's atmosphere except :

d. Warm air is less dense than cool air so it tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface.

Explanation:

When gases heat up, their volume increases and density decrease.
A decrease in density causes a substance to become lighter.
Thus, when air warms up due to heat from the sun its density decreases and it gets lighter.
So, it will move up.
The Cooler air in turn is denser and heavier so it will sink towards the Earth's surface.
Hence, the statement d , which states that 'warm air is less dense than cool air so in tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface' is FALSE.

A group of students form a Healthy Earth club at their school. Their goal is to limit their school’s impact on human-led climate

Sati [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Think about what a school would have/use that has the most environmental impacts. I think of energy and waste from trash. To counteract these they could install a cleaner method of getting energy like solar panels and for the trash they could implement a recycling program

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: Exergonic reaction; Endergonic reaction

In coupled reactions, the energy released by an exergonic reaction is used to drive an endergonic reaction. ATP breakdown is often coupled to cellular reactions that require an input of energy.

Explanation:

Cellular reactions include Exergonic and endergonic reactions. An exergonic reaction is one that occurs spontaneously and brings about the release of energy (in form of ATP). On the other hand, an endergonic reaction proceeds only with the input of energy.

Thus, exergonic reactions are usually coupled to endergonic reactions
