PLEASE HELP 8. Explain cellular respiration

Biology
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]4 years ago
4 0

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.

Effectus [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

When the crossing over results in both mutant alleles on one chromosome and the other chromosome will be mutation free.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

During the meiosis chromosomes are present in homologous form in a pair.

They exchange their genetic material with each other. This exchange is random and usually genetic material on the ends/telomere changes with the homologous chromosome.

In given condition the exchange is in such manner that the mutant allel of one chromosome shifts to other during crossing over. While other chromosome also contains its own mutant allele and does not exchange it during crossing over.

The bohr model of the atom stated that the energy of an electron was quantized and therefore electrons could only exist in certa
rjkz [21]

Explanation:

Bohr model is able to explain the electromagnetic spectrum produced by different atoms of different elements. This is because an electron around the nucleus of an atom occupies distinct orbital levels around the nucleus and not in between. When an electron absorbs a specific wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum it 'hops' to an upper electron energy level equivalent to this wavelength of radiation. When the atom 'hops' to a lower orbital level it releases ta specific wavelength of radiation that is equivalent to the difference in the energy levels. This was unaccounted for in the Rutherford's planetary model.

The electron cloud model is thought to be an improvement on the Bohr model because it accounts for the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle which stipulates that it is impossible to ascertain the momentum and location of an electron at the same time (because merely viewing an electron using light -or any kind of radiation - will change its direction and velocity). This model explains the likely position of an electron using probabilistic equations. The electron cloud model can therefore be used to explain bonding between atoms.

Type Newton's Second Law of Motion as it is written.
o-na [289]

Answer:

I hope you understand please give brainliest

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

How long did it take N.E.A.R. to reach Eros?
Katen [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

NEAR remained in this orbit for 10 days and then was backed out in stages to a 100 km circular orbit by September 5, 2000. Maneuvers in mid-October led to a flyby of Eros within 5.3 km of the surface at 07:00 UT on October 26.

Launch date: February 17, 1996 20:43:27 UTC; ...

Closest approach: June 27, 1997 12:56 UTC; .
