Explanation:

anaerobic process that restores NAD+ supply

Within cells, aerobic respiration may not occur due to several factors:

- a lack of inorganic, final electron acceptors
-incomplete or lack of a complete electron transport system
-missing genes for enzymes within the Kreb's cycle

Thus, they utilize other means for the generation of energy in the form of ATP and to replenish NAD+ an oxidized form of NADH, the main electron carrier in glycolysis. Pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis- it is also used as an electron acceptor in a process called fermentation.

Further Explanation:

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

What species is/are formed at the anode of the alkaline fuel cell?

umka21 [38]

Fuel cells can make an electricity from a simple electrochemical reaction in which oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water. There are several different types of fuel cell but they are all based around a central design which consists of two electrodes, a negative anode and a positive cathode. These are separated by a solid or liquid electrolyte that carries electrically charged particles between the two electrodes. A catalyst, such as platinum, is often used to speed up the reactions at the electrodes. Fuel cells are classified according to the nature of the electrolyte. Every type needs particular materials and fuels and is suitable for any applications. The article below uses the proton exchange membrane fuel cell to illustrate the science and technology behind the fuel cell concept but the characteristics and applications of the other main designs are also discussed. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC)

The hydrogen ions permeate across the electrolyte to the cathode, while the electrons flow through an external circuit and provide power. Oxygen, in the form of air, is supplied to the cathode and this combines with the electrons and the hydrogen ions to produce water. These reactions at the electrodes are as follows:

Anode: 2H24H+ + 4e-

Cathode: O2 + 4H+ + 4e- 2H2O

Overall: 2H2 + O22H2O + energy

PEM cells operate at a temperature of around 80°C. At this low temperature the electrochemical reactions would normally occur very slowly so they are catalysed by a thin layer of platinum on each electrode.

Write a paragraph of 150 words on the subject ‘different ways to protect ozone layer and prevent emission of hazardous gases’ fo

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

There are a few different steps we can take to protect the ozone layer. As you know, the ozone layer is the layer that protects us from the sun’s powerful UV rays and it also protects us from other harmful things roaming in space. The first thing we can do to protect the ozone layer is reduce the use of natural gases. The gases produced from the natural gases had torn holes in the ozone layer. A way to prevent emissions of hazardous gases Is to switch to renewable energy. Renewable energy is not only easier to access and replace, solar panels and wind energy dont give off harsh and hazardous gases that mess with the ozone layer and the climate.

Explanation:

I don’t know how Many words that is. You can add to it if you feel the need to. I don’t know Hindi, maybe you can translate it on google?

Plants make energy. Some of it they use to perform the necessary functions of living. What do they do with any excess energy?

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

A) They release the excess energy as heat.

Explanation:

when plants absorb more energy than they use it can damage critical protein. to prevent this plants turn the excess energy into heat and send it back out.

If we compare the genetic codes of the four organisms seen here, which statement is MOST accurate?

bezimeni [28]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

All four organisms have exactly the same components in their DNA, but it varies in number and sequence

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

DNA, known as deoxyribonucleic acid is a type of nucleic acid which is important to all living organisms as it helps store genetic information.
All living organisms store their genetic information using DNA molecules or RNA molecules. Most organisms contains DNA that have similar components, however their DNA will differ in number and also the sequences.
The similarity between the molecules of DNA indicates a common ancestry among organisms.
