Aerobic respiration is a biological process that takes energy from glucose and other organic compounds to create a molecule called Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP). ATP is then used as energy by nearly every cell in the body -- the largest user being the muscular system. Aerobic respiration has four stages: Glycolysis, formation of acetyl coenzyme A, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain.

The first step of aerobic respiration is glycolysis. This step takes place within the cytosol of the cell, and is actually anaerobic, meaning it does not need oxygen. During glycolysis, which means breakdown of glucose, glucose is separated into two ATP and two NADH molecules, which are used later in the process of aerobic respiration.

The next step in aerobic respiration is the formation of acetyl coenzyme A. In this step, pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria to be oxidized, creating a 2-carbonacetyl group. This 2-carbon acetyl group then binds with coenzyme A, forming acetyl coenzyme A. The acetyl coenzyme A is then brought back into the mitochondria for use in the next step.

The third step of aerobic respiration is called the citric acid cycle -- it is also called the Krebs cycle. Here, oxaloacetate combines with the acetyl coenzyme A, creating citric acid -- the name of the cycle. Two turns of the citric acid cycle are required to break down the original acetyl coenzyme A from the single glucose molecule. These two cycles create an additional two ATP molecules, as well as six NADH and two FADH molecules.

The final step in aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain. In this phase, the NADH and FADH donate their electrons to make large amounts of ATP. One molecule of glucose creates a total of 34 ATP molecules.

Hope this helps!

Question: explain fully the staged involved in aerobic respiration. Include the journey of the reactants and products of respiration, Link this to the importance of a change in breathing rates during exercise?

Answer: <u>Aerobic respiration: Respiration using oxygen to break down food molecules is called aerobic respiration. Glucose is the molecules normally used to respiration- it is the main respiratory substrate. Glucose is oxidized to release it's energy. The word equation for aerobic respiration is: </u>

<u> glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy released  </u>

<u>You need to be able to recognize the chemical symbols: </u>

<u>C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy released </u>

<u>Respiration is a series of reactions, but this summarizes the overall process. </u>

<u>The first stages of respiration occur in the cytoplasm of cells, but most of the energy released is in the mitochondria.</u>

Arlecino [84]

<u>Answer</u>:       D. calcium chloride

<em>Calcium chloride molecules can be ruled out as the mystery molecule</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Artificial membranes are also called as the synthetic membranes.</em> It is created synthetically for the <em>special separation purpose in the laboratory. </em>

It is used to separate large molecules like <em>solid particles and big biological molecules like protein, DNA. </em>

They are produced from organic materials. <em>Calcium chloride contains the chloride ion and calcium ion,</em> as the chloride ion easily passes the artificial membrane so we can term <em>calcium chloride as the mystery membrane that passes the artificial membrane easily.</em>

What role do variations have in the theory of evolution by natural selection?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others. ... Through this process of natural selection, favorable traits are transmitted through generations.

Complete the following vocabulary exercise related to the process of translation of mRNA to protein by the ribosome.Match the wo
vredina [299]

1. The RNA that has an amino acid attached to it, and that binds to the codon on the mRNA, is called a tRNA.

tRNA are molecules involved in protein synthesis (translation) and those molecules connect codons from mRNA with  the amino acids they encode.tRNA has anticodone that binds to mRNA codone.

2. The process, performed by the ribosome, of reading mRNA and synthesizing a protein is called translation.

Translation is a process of gene expression in which proteins are synthesized (translated from the codons on mRNA).

3. Initiation of translation always happens at the start codon of the mRNA.

Translation process can be divided into three stages: initiation (starting off), elongation (adding amino acids to peptide chain that is going to become protein) and termination (finishing up).

4. Amino acids are attached to tRNA by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.

These enzymes are part of the elongation stage of translation and they catalyze the adding of amino acids.

5. Termination of translation happens when the ribosome hits a stop codon on the mRNA.

Termination is the stage in which the finished polypeptide chain (future protein) is released from the ribosome.
