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).

The correct answer is C. Genetic analysis

Explanation:

In biology, two organisms have a phylogenetic relationship if they share a common ancestor and therefore have genetic similarities although in most cases there are also similarities in morphology, physiology, etc. However, two organisms might have similarities in morphology and physiology without genetic similarities. Due to this, if you need to determine whether two species are related or not the best method is a genetic analysis as only those organisms that share a common ancestor (phylogenetic relationship) are genetically similar.
