Answer:

Cellular respiration is the process by which living cells break down glucose molecules and release energy. The process is similar to burning, although it doesn’t produce light or intense heat as a campfire does. This is because cellular respiration releases the energy in glucose slowly, in many small steps. It uses the energy that is released to form molecules of ATP, the energy-carrying molecules that cells use to power biochemical processes. Cellular respiration involves many chemical reactions, but they can all be summed up with this chemical equation:

C6H12O6+6O2⟶6CO2+6H2O+Energy

where the energy that is released is in chemical energy in ATP (vs. thermal energy as heat). The equation above shows that glucose ( C6H12O6 ) and oxygen ( O2 ) react to form carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) and water H2O , releasing energy in the process. Because oxygen is required for cellular respiration, it is an aerobic process.

Cellular respiration occurs in the cells of all living things, both autotrophs and heterotrophs.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The 3'-end of the reverse primer (3'-TTGGCCAATGG---5') is complementary to the forward primer (5'---AACCGGTTACC-3') and thus reduces the ability of the primers to bind to the targeted DNA sequence. There is possibility of hairpin loop formation or primer dimmers formation

What are the chromosomes called when they look like Xs

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

I think you're referring to the Metaphase...

Explanation:

During Cell Division (or, rather before!) the DNA needs to be replicated. This normally is done by DNA Polymerase, and results in two identical double strands (the "Sister Chromatids".

These chromatids are held together at the Centromere, which will be the heart of the "X"-shape. After that the DNA is packed into Chromosomes by winding it around proteins called Histones. If I remember correctly there are 5 different Histones.

This "Zipping Up" makes the chromosomes more visible.

As the two sister chromatids are still connected, the result is the X-shaped Metaphase Chromosome....
