Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule is gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Along the way, some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose. Much more ATP, however, is produced later in a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation is powered by the movement of electrons through the electron transport chain, a series of proteins embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.
These electrons come originally from glucose and are shuttled to the electron transport chain when they gain electrons.
As electrons move down the chain, energy is released and used to pump protons out of the matrix, forming a gradient. Protons flow back into the matrix through an enzyme called ATP synthase, making ATP. At the end of the electron transport chain, oxygen accepts electrons and takes up protons to form water. Glycolysis can take place without oxygen in a process called fermentation. The other three stages of cellular respiration—pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation—require oxygen in order to occur. Only oxidative phosphorylation uses oxygen directly, but the other two stages can't run without oxidative phosphorylation.).

The given statements can be matched as following:
a)The diffusion of water from a high concentration to a low concentration  - Osmosis
b)Lowers the amount of energy needed to perform chemical reactions
- Enzymes
c)When you breath O2 passes into your blood stream while CO2 passes out of your blood stream
-Simple Diffusion
d)Involved with, but does not become a part of chemical reactions
-Enzymes
e)Small molecules with no charge can move through semi-permeable membranes by this process-
Simple Diffusion
Explanation:
a) Osmosis is generally defined as the process by which water is transported from a region of Higher concentration to the region of Lower concentration.
b) Enzymes are well known to reduce the amount of energy required or needed for a chemical reaction to take place.
c)The process by which oxygen passes through our blood stream and carbondioxide passes through the other is known as simple diffusion process.
d) Enzymes are ones that actively gets involved in the chemical reaction but they will never become a part of that chemical reaction.
e) Diffusion is the process by which very small molecules that carries no charge moves through semi permeable membrane.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Explanation:
Organisms are well preserved in mud because mud has high water holding capacity. It retains water and does not allow oxygen flow which can destroy the remains of organisms. There are some microbes that preserved whose growth are enhanced in water related environment like mud.
But sand cannot retain or hold water. It drains it off and all oxygen bearing water to flow which enhance decay compared to mud. It can't preserve organisms because of the above reasons.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
<u>Answer</u>: The energy source that generates wind is actually the sun. 
<u>Explanation</u>: The uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun gives rise to differences in atmospheric pressure. Areas such as deserts will warm the air masses above much more. As air is heated, it has a lower density as it expands and thus will form a point of low atmospheric pressure. The opposite situation applies for high pressure areas.The air movement from areas of high pressure to areas of lower pressure is what we call wind.
