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 the differences in the three types of RNA by connecting it to a factory.

kykrilka [37]

${\huge{\sf{\green{\underline {\underline {Answer }}}}}}$

Three major types of RNA are mRNA, or messenger RNA, that serve as temporary copies of the information found in DNA; rRNA, or ribosomal RNA, that serve as structural components of protein-making structures known as ribosomes; and finally, tRNA, or transfer RNA, that ferry amino acids to the ribosome to be assembled .

RNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to ribosomes for the synthesis of proteins; while tRNA carries specific amino acids to the ribosomes to assist the protein biosynthesis, and on the other hand, rRNA provides the structural framework for the formation of ribosomes.

The human body uses a variety of organic molecules as sources of energy. In what order does the body usually access these source

horsena [70]

There are 3 sources of energy, which are also known as macronutrients ,carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Of these three, carbohydrates are the body’s preferred source of energy. Carbohydrates break down into glucose, which is an immediate source of energy especially for the brain and muscles. The macronutrient proportions recommended for general, healthy diet are: 45-65% of energy (or calories) from carbohydrates, 10-20% of energy (or calories) from protein and 20-35% of energy (or calories) from fat.

<span>The grouping of organisms based on their common descent is called evolutionary classification. Through evolution, one species has changed and become modified until it became what it is today. However, some of today's organisms have the same predecessor, which is evident if you take evolution into consideration. </span>
