Boil the salt water

Sea water is just water, with a higher mineral concentration (salt). Therefore, it is not healthy because minerals are good for us,but not in such concentrations. So that he can drink the water, he needs to somehow separate the salt from the water.


How?

He could use a process called distillation where he would boil the salt water, collect the vapor that comes out and condense it so that he can drink it.

If he was not in anisland though, I would've suggested other more scientifical but easier methods such as using reverse osmosis, which would only work on a lab or with special equipment.



Hope it helped,

A new antibiotic is produced that inhibits the synthesis of acetyl-CoA and the electron transport chain in bacteria. For each gl
meriva

Answer:

36 ATPs

Explanation:

Cellular respiration starts with glycolysis wherein glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis forms two molecules of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation for each glucose molecule. Both pyruvate molecules are converted into acetyl CoA to enter into the Kreb's cycle. Kreb's cycle forms two ATP molecules by substrate-level phosphorylation. NADH and FADH2 formed during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle are oxidized by the electron transport chain. This process also forms as many as 34 ATP molecules. If acetyl CoA is not formed, the total ATP gain per glucose will be only 2 ATP molecules (from glycolysis only) which is 38-2= 36 less than the total.
