Answer;

- Cardiac tissue

Explanation;

-Gap junctions are a specialized intercellular connection between a multitude of animal cell-types. They allow the exchange of ions, second messengers, and small metabolites between adjacent cells and are formed by two unrelated protein families, the pannexins and connexins.

-Gap junctions are particularly important in cardiac muscle: the signal to contract is passed efficiently through gap junctions, allowing the heart muscle cells to contract in unison.

The tissue to have cells with the greatest number of gap junctions is the cardiac tissue.

Cardiac tissue refers to the involuntary, striated tissue present in the heart. It is made up of individual heart muscle cells called the cardiomyocytes. They are joined together by intercalated discs which contain the gap junctions. Gap junctions are the specialized intercellular connections which link the cytoplasm of two cells. Gap junctions play a crucial role in regulating the velocity and safe impulse propagation in the heart. They are abundantly found in the cardiac tissue helping in direct transmission of the deplolarizing current from cell to cell across the chambers of the heart. The signals for contraction of the cardiac muscle is passed through these gap junctions.

Compare and contrast three metabolic pathways by choosing whether the statement applies to aerobic respiration. Check all that a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be options

1. Process includes glycolysis.

2. Between 2 and 38 ATP are produced per molecule of glucose input .

3. Much or most of the ATP produced is produced by oxidative phosphorylation.

4. Process involves electron transport and chemiosmosis.

5.  End products are CO₂ and H₂O.

6. Process involves the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the oxidative process which involves the breakdown of food molecules like glucose, amino acids and fats to release heat and energy in the form of ATP.

In the presence of oxygen or aerobic respiration it undergoes four stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain while in the anaerobic reaction it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide by the process of fermentation.

Each stage produces energy in the form of ATP molecules or co-enzymes NADH OR FADH₂ like glycolysis produces 2 ATP and link reaction, Krebs cycle produces NADH OR FADH₂ in addition to ATP. Each NADH produces 3 ATP while Each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP during electron transport chain.  So, ATP molecules are produced between 2 to 38 ATP molecules in each stage with large number during electron transport chain from these co-enzymes.

The waste products produced in the stages of cellular respiration are CO₂ molecules and H₂O which is also known as metabolic water.
