Answer: (c) It generates ATP, which cells can use to do work.
(d) It generates chemical gradients, which have potential energy.
Explanation:
The overall process of Cellular respiration is the aerobic break down of organic compounds (food) with the release of CO2, water and energy in form of ATP which drives most cellular work.
Organic compound + oxygen --------> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP + heat)
In cellular respiration during the break down of food in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, chemical energy (NADH and FADH) are extracted from each cellular process and transported to the electron transport chain built in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The chemical energy harvested from food is transformed into a proton-motive force, a gradient of H+ across the membrane. When this H+ election fall from their gradient via ATP synthase, Chemiosmosis couples this proton motive force to phosphorylate ADP to form ATP.
Answer:
They are the first trophic level in an ecosystem and without them the rest of the organisms in the ecosystem would have no source of energy
Explanation:
The autotrophs are the producers in the ecosystem. They manage to produce food for themselves, and they represent the first trophic level, thus they are the basis of any ecosystem. These organisms are the once that produce the energy, and the organisms in the trophic levels above them use their energy to survive. If the autotrophs are removed from and ecosystem, the ecosystem will collapse, as there will be no source of energy for the organisms in the trophic levels above, thus all of them will die out quickly.
The answer is B) stop condons.
Stop codons, UGA, UAA, and UAG, are nucleotide triplets that signal to stop the translation of an mRNA sequence into proteins.
