What is the goal of the pentose phosphate pathway, explain.

Biology
1 answer:
uranmaximum [27]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: Pentose phosphate pathway produces ribose-5-phosphate sugars that are used in the production of DNA and RNA molecules.

Explanation: Pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol like glycolysis, with its end products being ribose-5-phosphate sugars and NADH used in production of RNA and DNA.

Difference between these pathways are that the pentose phosphate is anabolic. It uses alot of energy, NADPH and ATP for building. Unlike glycolysis its primary function is not energy production, which on the other hand glycolysis is catabolic, primarily leading to the the production of energy.

A strawberry plant is an example of a plant that can reproduce through the process of vegetative reproduction. Are the offspring
alexandr402 [8]
The offspring will be genetically identical to the parent because vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction. Therefore, there is only one parent and the offspring is identical to the parent.

3) Notice in the image of the plant that both oxygen and carbon dioxide
Naily [24]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Plants are the organisms present on the Earth which can be easily marked with their green color. The green color is due to the presence of the chloroplast which encompasses the chlorophyll pigment.

The chlorophyll pigment has the ability to capture the sunlight energy which initiates the process of photosynthesis. The photosynthesis process utilizes Carbon dioxide gas and water to form glucose molecules.

The glucose molecule is then transported to the other parts of the plants like stem and roots where photosynthesis is absent and to obtain the energy, plant perform cellular respiration. The cellular respiration requires oxygen gas which acts as an electron acceptor molecule.

Thus, Option-D is correct.

What adaptations of the wild yak enable it to survive in the alpine biome?
elixir [45]

The alpine biome is one of the coldest biomes on the planet, it is generally because of the high altitudes. The summer temperature varies in between -12 to 10 degree Celsius, and the average precipitation in the biome is about 30 cm in a year.  

The animals living in the region, adapt to the cold by migrating to warmer regions, hibernating, or insulating their bodies with the help of fat and fur layers. Their bodies seem to possess shorter tails, legs, and ears, in order to minimize the loss of heat.  

One of the animals living in the alpine biome is the wild yak, the animal has adapted to the biome with the help of dense and wooly coats, specially amended feet, horns to dig for food, and if necessary does the migration in winter times to the warmer regions.

Describe the structure of mitochondria and explain their role in respiration .
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The mitochondria is a double membraned organelle, the inner of these membranes is invaginated to form structures called cristae. The fluid inside is called the mitochondrial matrix. The mitochondria has a pivotal role in the creation of ATP in aerobic cellular respiration. Glycolysis occurs outside the mitochondria, producing pyruvate and ATP, the pyruvate endures the link reaction on its way into the mitochondrial matrix and turns into acetyl co enzyme A. This acetyl group is used in the matrix in what is called Krebs cycle, where the oxidation of acetyl groups is coupled with the reduction of hydrogen carriers. The products of Krebs cycle are then transported to the electron transport chain on the cristae where the reduced NADH and FADH are then oxidized. The remaining hydrogen electrons are transported down the chain where an oxygen molecule is reduced to water. Chemiosmosis also occurs at the electron transport chain, in which hydrogen protons move down the concentration gradient (from the inner mitochondrion membrane) through an ATP synthase where ATP is generated. The multiple folds inside the mitochondria which are the cristae, mean that there is plenty of surface area for cellular respirations to occur at.
