wo solutions. Oxygen gas is bubbled into one solution. The other solution is depleted of available oxygen. Which of the following best explains why ATP production is greater in the tube with oxygen than in the tube without oxygen?
A. The rate of proton pumping across the inner mitochondrial membrane is lower in the sample without oxygen. B. Electron transport is reduced in the absence of a plasma membrane. C. In the absence of oxygen, oxidative phosphorylation produces more ATP than does fermentation. D. In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis produces more ATP than in the absence of oxygen.

Answer:

Explanation:

A is correct because energy from electrons from oxygen are used to pump the H+ (as well as electrons from NADH) It's not D because glycolysis happens both in absence and presence of oxygen and never uses O2 so glycolysis is the same in both processes, its what happens after glycolysis that is dependent on the availability of oxygen (oxidative phosphorylation or fermentation)

Normally, how many chromosomes are required to determine the outward expression of a trait?a homologous paironly oneany twotwo p
jeka94

Answer:

A homologous pair

Explanation:

In determining the expression trait of humans, this is based on the homologous chromosomes. This in turn comprised of alleles otherwise known as homologous alleles. The homologous loci are thereby located in these alleles which served as the formation of traits when combined.

Hence, normally, A HOMOLOGOUS PAIR is required to determine the outward expression of a trait?
