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

 “The outer energy levels are full, but that doesn’t mean the inner ones are,” says a friend. How would you respond?
Anton [14]

He is WRONG

Explanation:

Any atom at the ground state has its orbital levels fill from the bottom (close to the nucleus) – up. The inner orbitals are of lower energy state and fill first because the atoms ‘likes’ to exist in the low energy and more stable state. Only when the atom is in an excited state do some of the electrons in the lower orbital levels shift to higher unfilled orbitals.

Why is the weight of an object more on Earth than on the Moon?
erma4kov [3.2K]
This happens if the object goes somewhere where gravity is stronger, or weaker, such as the Moon. The Moon has less mass than the Earth, so its gravity is less than the Earth's gravity. This means that objects weigh less on the Moon than they do on the Earth. The Moon's gravity is one sixth of the Earth's gravity. Hope this helps!
