Answer: Water H2O

Explanation:

In cellular respiration process NAD+ is a most versatile electron acceptor and functions in several of the redox steps during break down of glucose.

Each NADH molecules formed during respiration represents stored energy that can be tapped to make ATP when the electrons complete their ''fall''down an energy gradient from NADH to oxygen.

Electrons removed from glucose are shuttle by NADH to the ''top'', higher-energy end of the electron transport chain. At the ''bottom'' lower energy end, O2 captures these electrons along with H+ forming water.

Therefore Hydrogen removed from NADH in the ETC is captured by O2 to form water

2H + 1/2O2 ------> H20

How many grams of CaCl2 are needed to make 277.8g of a solution that is 31.5% (m/m) in water? Note that mass is not technically

Sveta_85 [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of calcium chloride present in given amount of solution is 87.5 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of solution = 277.8 grams

Also, 31.5 % (m/m) of calcium chloride in water. This means that 31.5 g of calcium chloride is present in 100 g of solution.

To calculate the mass of calcium chloride in the given amount of solution, we use unitary method:

in 100 g of solution, the mass of calcium chloride present is 31.5 g

So, 277.8 g of solution, the mass of calcium chloride present is $\frac{31.5}{100}\times 277.8=87.5g$

Hence, the mass of calcium chloride present in given amount of solution is 87.5 g

What is the name of the structures that help move substances across a tract surface?

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

cilia and flagella

Explanation:

In prokaryotic species , cilia are present , and in eukaryotic species , flagella is present .

Cilia and flagella both have same function , i.e. , to enable the movement of the cell , along with the movement of some substance and direct the flow of these substance along the tracts.

Cilia and flagella are composed of basal bodies.

Hence , from the given statement of the question,

The correct term is cilia and flagella .
