How is cellular respiration like combustion?Both cellular respiration and combustion require a core fuel for the process to happen at all. This fuel is stored energy, and the entire process of combustion or respiration is to convert that energy from its stored state -- in the fuel -- to another state that the engine, either mechanical or bionic, can use to power its other operations.




Combustion creates fire and a rise in temperature. An example of combustion is the burning of gas in an oven. Cellular respiration takes place within living cells including human bodies and is a process that breaks down complex molecules into simpler organisms. Combustion and cellular respiration have similarities with oxygen use, carbon dioxide production, energy release and the breakdown of organic substances.

Oxygen use

Combustion cannot take place without oxygen. It uses oxygen to such an extent that the average amount in the air surrounding a combustion process falls from 21 per cent to 15 per cent. Cellular respiration also uses oxygen but in a slower and more stable manner than combustion. With cellular respiration, oxygen is necessary to enable cells to obtain energy from food. In humans, the act of breathing provides the oxygen required for cellular respiration.

Carbon dioxide production

Fossil fuels such as gas, oil and coal are the product of dead organisms that contain carbon dioxide. When gas, oil and coal burn during combustion, the process releases the carbon dioxide and allows it to enter the atmosphere. Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide but in a different manner to combustion. The cellular respiration process creates carbon dioxide when the oxygen that it uses reacts with the glucose carbohydrate in a living cell.

Energy release

The process of combustion releases energy in the form of light and heat. For example, the burning of fossil fuels is a combustion process that creates the light and heat energy for domestic and industrial use. Cellular respiration releases energy when oxygen combines with glucose. A human uses the energy to work muscles and to create the enzymes necessary for digesting food. The amount of energy that a body needs varies according to factors such as activity level and pregnancy.

Human blood groups are governed by three alleles, IA, IB, and i. IA and IB are codominant and i is recessive to both. A man who
tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is e. all of the above

Explanation:

A person can only have two allele of a character, therefore, the genotype of a male parent can be IBIB or IBi and the genotype of female parent can be IAIA or IAi. Therefore during gamete formation, all allele will segregate and assort independently.

So all the possible combinations are possible that are  IAIB, IAi, IBi or ii because all the allele can be present in the two parents in which one have A blood group and another have B blood group.

Therefore their children could have A, B, AB, or O blood group so the correct answer is e. all of the above.

Compare aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Which produces more energy (ATP?) Why?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Aerobic respiration is far more energy-efficient than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose

Biological transmission differs from mechanical transmission in that biological transmission involves reproduction of a pathogen
Taya2010 [7]

Biological transmission involves reproduction of pathogens in an arthropod vector prior to transmission. In terms of epidemiology, we can term a vector as an organism that is from infected to the uninfected. An infected organism which develops biological vector passes it to its host. For example a mosquito.

 A mosquito being a mechanical vector carries an infected organism to its host either through the legs or through the other body parts
