I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. <span>Most of Earth’s dry air is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. Approximately, air is made up of 21 percent of oxygen and 79 percent of nitrogen. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Answer:

A) The production of energy without the presence of oxygen  - Anaerobic respiration

B) The chemical breakdown of a substance  - Fermentation

C) The breakdown of food to create energy in the presence of oxygen  - Aerobic respiration

D) An organic molecule that occurs as an intermediate in many metabolic processes - Pyruvate

Explanation:

A) Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular energy production that occurs in the absence of oxygen. it is much less efficient than aerobic respiration (see question C). In cellular respiration, cells produce ATP, which is the "currency" of energy in the cell, by breaking down glucose. ATP is required to carry out the normal functions of a cell.

As it is much less efficient than aerobic respiration, it produces much less ATP. However, when there is no oxygen, it is the only choice. An example is when muscle cells are working very hard and use up all the oxygen in the tissue. To keep producing some energy, they undergo anaerobic respiration, which only produces 2 molecules of ATP for every molecule of glucose.

B) In respiration, Fermentation is a pathway of breaking down glucose into chemical energy that occurs in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration can lead to two types of fermentation, lactic acid fermentation (described above) and ethanol fermentation which is another type of anaerobic respiration in which fungi (such as yeast) break down glucose into ethanol, producing 2 molecules of ATP carbon dioxide as a by-product. This is how we make bread and beer!

C) Aerobic respiration is cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen. It creates a net gain of 36 molecules of ATP, compared to the 2 ATPs created without oxygen. This is because in aerobic respiration, the oxygen acts as a final electron acceptor for the electron transport chain. In its absence the electron transport chain cannot proceed. The electron transport chain is how cells generate most of their chemical energy.

D) Pyruvate is an important molecule in the process of respiration. Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration begin with the same process, glycolysis. Glycolysis is the process by which 1 molecule of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate - a metabolic intermediate. This releases 2 molecules of ATP. In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate is oxidised and enters the Krebs cycle, which makes a series of compounds that donate electrons to the electron transport chain, which produces extra ATPs through oxidative phosphorylation.

In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is converted either to lactic acid or ethanol by fermentation

What is meant by the following statement.<br><br>the cell membrane is semipermeable?
aev [14]
Semipermeable means the cell membrane can pick and choose what goes out of it and into it. At least, that's what I believe it is.

A. How do the Earth’s physical factors influence population density? When population growth increases in an area, what is happen
madreJ [45]

Question 1 The world's population is spread very unevenly. Some spaces are empty or very sparsely populated: we speak of human deserts:

• Cold polar environments are the least populated regions: the ground, frozen permanently, prevents any form of agriculture, the very low temperatures make the habitat difficult.

• The hot or cold desert environments are also not busy: the lack of rain and the strong heat during the day limit the activities of men. The only exceptions are oases.

• The role of relief is more difficult to define. High temperate mountains like the Alps are generally sparsely populated but tropical chains like the Andes have a high population density. However, men have generally settled in the plains, in the valleys (along with the rivers) and on the coasts.

There are also other factors unrelated to land factors that influence population density such as job availability, or even historical factors.

Question 2: Birth rate:

The birth rate (sometimes called the crude birth rate) is the ratio of the annual number of births to the average total population for that year. When the population grows, the contact between people will be more permanent, and it will increase the marriage rate, and thus the birth rate. Age structure:The age structure is a mode of graphical representation of the structure (of age as well as of sex) of a population which constitutes a synthetic image of the past, present and future of the population.When a population resides for a long time in the same place (in favorable conditions, not raising the death rate and without moving), this will vary the age structure by observing an increase in the elderly population.
