The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. mosses.

b. charophytes.

c. ferns.

d. gymnosperms.

e. flowering plants.

Answer:

C. ferns.

Explanation:

In the given question, the characteristics of a newly identified species were provided which are:

1.  Flagellated sperm: shows that it is either a bryophyte or pteridophyte

2. Dominant sporophyte: chances that it is a pteridophyte

3.The xylem and tracheids: shows that vascular bundle is present which confirms that it is pteridophyte

4. No seeds: confirms that the plant is pteridophyte as vascular bundles with no seed are pteridophyte.

Therefore in the given question, the identified plant is a pteridophyte which in the given option is a fern.

Thus, Option-C is correct.

HELP!!!! Time crunch!
Mila [183]

Answer:

Glycolysis is a series of reactions that take place in the cell cytoplasm. It involves the oxidation of glucose into pyruvate (a 3 carbon compound), that produces (overall)ATP and reduced NAD: an enzyme that carries hydrogen. The number of carbons in each of these compounds is indicated in the green circle.

The carriers FAD and NAD bring the hydrogen and it separates to H+ and electrons (e-). The electrons pass from carrier to carrier and loose energy. This is used to synthesize ATP.

However, there are a lot of hydrogen ions, that unless they are removed, they'll cause a large increase in pH. Therefore, oxygen reacts with the ions to remove it and produce water. This is what the oxygen you inhale is used for (in terms of respiration).
