In biology absorption is a complex process of transforming big particle chemical compounds into smaller and simpler compounds in order to make them "eatable" by an organism. This process usually refers to animals (except carnivorous plants).

Which of the following statements regarding Entner-Doudoroff pathway is true?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

C. ATP is generated

Explanation:

The Entner-Doudoroff pathway is one of the three glycolytic pathways that breakdown glucose into pyruvate. The Entner-Doudoroff pathway is the most common glycolytic pathway in microbes present in the soil such as <em>Rhizobium, Azotobacter,</em> etc.

The Entner-Doudoroff pathway forms glucose 6-phosphate from glucose which in turn is oxidized into 6-phosphogluconate. The 6-phosphogluconate finally forms pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate through a series of reactions. The glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate can enter the Embden-Meyerhof pathway to form one more molecule of pyruvate. During the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, one molecule of ATP and one NADPH are formed along with the formation of one molecule of each pyruvate and glyceraldehyde.

Explain how Co2 is able to control fires?<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=co2" id="TexFormula1" title="co2" alt="co2" align
Alborosie

Carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen gas. It therefore displaces the oxygen gas around a flame. Without oxygen, the combustion reaction will stop and the flame will be put out.

Further Explanation:

In order for a combustion reaction to happen, three components must be present: fuel, oxygen, and heat to cause ignition. When one of these three is removed, the combustion reaction will stop.

CO2 fire extinguishers use the difference in mass of the CO2 and oxygen molecules to stop the fire. Since CO2 is heavier, it will displace any oxygen molecules that are around the flame. When this happens, the supply of the oxygen will be limited or cut-off and the fire will eventually be put out because of the lack of oxygen. This ability to displace oxygen is also what makes using CO2 as fire extinguisher quite dangerous for the user since it pushes away the oxygen that is needed for respiration.

Other ways to put out fire include spraying liquids that absorb the heat to avoid spreading the fire further or spraying substances that coat the fuel (flammable materials) to avoid contact with oxygen gas which can lead to further combustion.

Gennadij [26K]

Scorpion cells undergo aerobic respiration, during aerobic respiration oxygen is used, and ATP is created.

During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose is absorbed with oxygen to form ATP, which can be used by cells. Carbon dioxide and air are formed as by-products. The overall extension to aerobic cellular respiration is: During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen form ATP.

This process takes place in the mitochondria. So respiration occurs in animals and plants because both have mitochondria.

Aerobic respiration is respiration that requires oxygen while anaerobic respiration is respiration that does not require oxygen. Aerobic respiration consists of several stages, namely: glycolysis, oxidative decarboxylation, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain which have been discussed in the previous material.
