Explanation:

Fermentation has a comparatively low efficiency as it produces the same amount of energy, whereas aerobic  respiration produces up to 38 molecules of ATP .

Aerobic respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Within cells, aerobic respiration may not occur due to several factors:

  • - a lack of inorganic, final electron acceptors
  • -incomplete or lack of a complete electron transport system
  • -missing genes for enzymes within the Kreb's cycle

Thus, they utilize other means for the generation of energy in the form of ATP and to replenish NAD+ an oxidized form of NADH, the main electron carrier in glycolysis. Pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis- it is also used as an electron acceptor in a process called fermentation.

  • Net production of ATP in fermentation: 2 ATP
  • Net production of ATP in aerobic respiration ≈38 ATP

Further Explanation:

overall in aerobic respiration: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
  • The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

melamori03 [73]

Answer: d. The ecosystem reached its carrying capacity, and was not able to support continued population growth.

Explanation:

The carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum population size of the species that habitat or ecosystem can support or sustain on the basis of availability of food, water and other necessities. This is an important factor which keeps a balance of the population of a species in a particular region or ecosystem.

On the basis of the above information, The ecosystem reached its carrying capacity, and was not able to support continued population growth is the correct option to level off the rising populating of the birds.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:  Protein folding and oligomerization

Explanation:

Binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) is a vital protein present in humans essential for the translocation of secreted peptides.

BiP is  a molecular chaperone which is present in lumen of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) which binds to the new protein and then translocat into the ER. The protein in ER is maintained under subsequent condition and important for protein folding and oligomerization (conversion of a  monomer or group of monomer into an oligomer).

Several other functions of BiP are:

  1. ER translocation
  2. ER-associated degradation (ERAD)
  3. UPR pathway

Hence,  BiP is a chaperone, it is important for protein folding and oligomerization.

olganol [36]

Answer:

5 metros.

Explicación:

Si sale de su casa y camina 5 metros, significa que está a 5 metros de su casa porque cubre 5 metros de distancia. La distancia es la longitud que recorre un cuerpo entre dos puntos. Aquí un punto es la casa y el otro punto es la persona, por lo que si calculamos la longitud, encontramos que el individuo cubre 5 metros por lo que podemos concluir que el individuo está a 5 metros de su casa si camina 5 metros de su casa. casa al exterior.
