Answer:
Hypertonic
Explanation:
Hypertonic solutions have less water ( and more solute such as salt or sugar ) than a cell. Seawater is hypertonic. If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ).
Answer:
5. under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.
Explanation:
The contraction of muscles occurs in the presence of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) because ATP supplies the muscles with the energy they require for contraction.
Muscles can undergo contraction Aerobically ( in the presence of oxygen) or Anaerobically ( in the absence of oxygen).
When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.
Answer:
A. The number of genes on its chromosomes
Explanation:
The reason why genes are so important is because genes can be transcribed to make mRNAs, and mRNAs can then be translated to make proteins. Proteins are an integral part of life, since they regulate so many processes and functions. Therefore, the number of genes (or lack thereof) in an organism defines how the organism is going to function.
Answer:
Explanation:
The nitrogen cycle is an important cycle to the atmosphere. Nitrogen is an essential part of biological molecules such as proteins and nucleic acid, which makes nitrogen essential for all living organisms. Nitrogen makes up 78 percent of the atmosphere.
