A glucose molecule is completely broken down upon completion of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. however, these two process

es yield only a few atps. what other energy carrier(s) that can be used to synthesize more atps is/are also generated during these processes?

In both the process of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle; yes ATP is produced albeit in a very low amount. Another byproduct of these pathways are the production of reducing compounds such as reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH). These reducing compounds are used in the electron transport chain to produce a proton gradient, and with a proton gradient, the enzyme ATP synthase will synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

The energy carriers that are generated during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle and then used to generate more ATP are FADH2 and NADH.

<h2>Further Explanation;</h2><h3>Cellular respiration;</h3>
  • Cellular respiration is the process by which living organisms use nutrients or food substances to generate energy in the form of ATP that is required to drive cellular processes.
  • Cellular respiration takes place in three stages; glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and electron transport.
<h3>Glycolysis</h3>
  • It is the first stage of aerobic respiration where an organic molecule such as glucose is broken down to form 2 molecules of Acetyl-CoA and net production of 2 ATP molecules.
  • Each glucose molecule yields two molecules of ATP and two molecules of Acetyl-CoA.
  • During the process of glycolysis 2 molecules of energy carrier, NADH which are then taken to energy transport chain to produce more ATP.
<h3>Citric acid cycle</h3>
  • It is the second phase of aerobic respiration that involves a series of reactions catalyzed by various enzymes.
  • Acetyl-CoA from glycolysis undergoes a series of reaction to produce six molecules of NADH, two molecules of FADH2, together with carbon dioxide and two molecules of ATP.
  • The energy carriers, NADH and FADH2 are then used to produce more ATP in the energy transport chain.
<h3>Electron transport chain</h3>
  • It is the final stage of Aerobic respiration, where the six molecules of NADH and two molecules of FADH2 from Kreb's cycle and 2 NADH molecules from glycolysis are used to generate more energy in the form of ATP.
  • This stage generates 34 molecules of ATP.  

Keywords: Cellular respiration, energy carriers, energy in the form of ATP, use of energy carriers from glycolysis and citric acid cycle to generate more ATP.

An advantage of gas exchange in fresh water, compared with gas exchange in air, is that:
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

e. water loss through evaporation across the respiratory surface can be minimized

Explanation:

<em>Exchange of gases, otherwise known as respiration is an important process in living organisms during which food material within the body is broken down to unlock their energies for the functioning of living organisms.</em>

During gaseous exchange, oxygen gas diffuses into respiratory tissues and dissolves on respiratory surfaces while carbon dioxide diffuses in the other direction.

Respiratory surfaces are usually thin walled with moist inner surfaces that enables the dissolution of gases. Depending on the atmospheric temperature, respiratory surfaces in terrestrial organisms are at varying risks of losing moisture to the atmosphere due to evaporation.

In aquatic organisms however, evaporation from respiratory surfaces is minimized as the immediate environment is water.

Options a to d are not entirely true about water and respiration.

The correct option is e.

Which term best describes the symbiotic relationship of starving p. bursaria to their zoochlorellae?
Vlada [557]
<span>The Zoocholrellae and p. bursaria have a mutual symbiotic relationship. Zoocholrellae are the algae that the p. bursaria live in. The p. bursaria gives Zoocholrellae food while the Zoocholrellae help and allow for the p. bursaria to perform locomotion and move around.</span>

What is the reaction of acids with blue litmus paper? With red litmus paper?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Blue litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions and red litmus paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions, with the color change occurring over the pH range 4.5–8.3 at 25 °C (77 °F). Neutral litmus paper is purple. Litmus can also be prepared as an aqueous solution that functions similarly.

What is evolution in a general sense? In a genetic sense?
kakasveta [241]
  Evolution is what you might call, traits that is inherited over generation to the next. An evolution is when there is a change within the genepool and it beneficial to survival. Take a giraffe for example. Back then, they had short necks and it had eat from plants on the ground. Though from generations later when they learnt that food grows on trees and stretched there necks to reach for, they now can eat from trees without a problem. Hope this helps you better understand what evolution is.
