Answer:

fibrin

Explanation:

Fibrin is a protein that acts as a first response whenever your body is injured in order to play an important role in the blood clotting process. When any type of injury that causes blood leakage occurs and coagulation begins, an alert is then sent to the body to start producing fibrin.

In the form of long strands, each fibrin molecule intertwines to form a thin mesh around the lesion. As a result, this mesh stops the blood by capturing red blood cells, leukocytes and platelets, generating a clot and forming a kind of tampon at the injured site.

In summary, we can say that fibrin is a yarn-like protein that binds to platelets in blood clotting.

The advantage to the cell of the gradual oxidation of glucose during cellular respiration compared with its combustion to CO₂ an
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. energy can be extracted in usable amounts.

Explanation:

Through the process of respiration, glucose is converted into carbon dioxide and water. This oxidation of glucose helps in the production of energy in usable amount which is used by the cell for their metabolic processes.

First, the glucose is partially oxidized to pyruvic acid then pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl Co-A which is used in the citric acid cycle to generate NADH, FADH₂, and ATP. Then the NADH, FADH₂ is used to provide electrons that helps in the generation of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

This ATP molecule has a high energy phosphate bond from which energy can be extracted in usable amounts. Therefore the correct answer is a. energy can be extracted in usable amounts.
