Answer:

If 10 glucose molecules are broken down, 320 ATP molecules will be generated during the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

In the electron transport chain, high energy electrons travel across a series of proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, releasing energy in the process.Hydrogen is pumped from the matrix into the intermembrane space, therefore an hydrogen ion gradient is formed across the inner membrane.These proton are then pumped back into the mitochondrial membrane where the synthesis of ATP from ATP synthase takes place.

In the electron transport chain, a total of 32 ATPs are generated per glucose molecule.

so if 10 glucose molecules are broken down:

1 glucose ⇒ 32 ATPs

10 glucose ⇒ 10*32

                       320 ATP molecules

Why does the United States experience winter during the months of November through early March
Ghella [55]

The United States are entirely located in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordering Canada on the north, and the air masses that form over it have big influence on the climate of the United States. Most of the United States falls under the influence of the air masses coming from the north, with only the southern parts of the east and west coastlines not being heavily affected. The air masses that form over Canada are cold continental air masses. They move towards south, thus toward the United States in November, quickly pushing the warmer air masses, and replacing them, bringing in cold weather conditions, which last until March.

What molecule is used to store and release energy in cells
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Adenosine triphosphate

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phophate groups in a row. In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP.
