How did the increased availability of atmospheric oxygen affect the evolution of the eukaryotic cell?
hichkok12 [17]
T<span>he cell requires oxygen, and eukaryotic cells are expensive to run. they require a lot of energy and nutrients, and oxygen is one such component. the oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration, which allows the cell to do a lot, including evolve, proliferate, adopt new niches, habitats, biochemical habitats, sustain life in extreme conditions, and perhaps eventually co-operate with other cells and create multicellular life. Multicellular life is virtually impossible without aerobic respiration. </span>

Lyrx [107]

Answer: Pyruvate is reduced and NADH is oxidized.

Explanation:

Fermentation is a chemical process that involves the breakdown of carbohydrates anaerobically by the activities of microorganisms.

It is the process use in the production of foodstuffs, wine and beer. Fermentation start with enzymes activities, which breakdown sugars into lactate or two molecules of three carbon organic acid, pyruvic acid. Pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid or alcohol in the absence of oxygen and nicotinamide adenine dinuleotide+hydrogen(NADH) is oxidized . This process produces two ATP per glucose molecule.

Electricity is added to recharge a battery. What is added to ADP to form ATP?
White raven [17]

Electricity is added to recharge a battery. A third phosphate group  is added to ADP to form ATP.

ATP or Adenosine triphosphate contains adenine, ribose and 3 phosphate groups.

ADP is converted to ATP by the following reaction:

ADP+Pi+energy⇄ATP

The analogy between battery and ATP can be explained as ATP is higher energy form and ADP is lower energy form like charged and uncharged form of the battery. When the terminal or third phosphate is removed from the ATP it becomes ADP and releases energy like a battery. The additional phosphate group when added to ADP forms the ATP molecule like the energy spent by the batteries are recharged by putting in additional energy. Here the additional energy is provided by the third phosphate group.
