Answer:

The three products of cellular respiration are:

ATP
Water
Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose molecules to yield energy in the form of ATP.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

ATP Production:

The first step of cellular respiration, glycolysis, yields 2 net ATP.
The second step, Kreb's cycle produces 10 NADH and 2 FADH2 molecules. Both these molecules store energy that is released in the electron transport chain to produce 34 ATP.

Therefore, a total of 36 ATP are produced as a result of cellular respiration in eukaryotes.

Carbon dioxide Production:

2 molecules of CO2 are produced during the conversion of pyruvate into Acetyl Co-A by the <em>pyruvate dehydrogenase</em> complex.
4 molecules of CO2 are produced in the Kreb's cycle.

Water Production:

Water is produced in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) by the reduction of oxygen.

Answer: Mechanical Isolation

Explanation:

Mechanical isolation is a type of barrier that prevents the species that are closely related from mating with each other.

It is used in case of plants and animals(here beetles) in which the without compatible sex organs individual of different species will not be able to mate and produce offspring.

Thus, the correct answer is option C

Compare and contrast the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Ainat [17]

In photosynthesis o2 is released while in cellular respiration o2 is taken.
Photosynthesis occur in the presence of sunlight while cellular respiration has no boundations
Both require o2.
Both leads to the formation of new substance.

In ________, the sequence of bases in DNA determines the sequence of bases in mRNA, and the process occurs in the ________.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: transcription, nucleus

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cell the process whereby the sequence of DNA bases is used to determine the sequence of bases in mRNA us called transcription and it occurs in the nucleus.

The DNA serves as the template strand. RNA polymerase binds to the promoter on the template DNA strand and synthesizes mRNA with RNA nucleotides. Genetic information of DNA is transcribed to messenger RNA. In eukaryotes this process occurs in the nucleus.
