Answer: The correct answer is : ATP

Explanation: The phosphorylation reaction is a type of metabolic reaction that results in the formation of (ATP) or (GTP) by the direct transfer and donation of a phosphoryl (PO3) group to (ADP) or (GDP) from a phosphorylated reactive intermediate. The breath is an ATP generating process in which an inorganic compound serves as the ultimate e-acceptor. O2 is delivered by blood flow.

Answer:

ATP

Explanation:

The main purpose for cellular respiration, is to finally obtain ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), this process occurres through the electron transport chain: this is the final step of the aerobic respiration, and takes place when energy from NADH and FADH₂ (both products from Krebs Cycle) is transferred to ATP

This process occurres within the inner membrane of the mitochondria: while protons (H⁺) pass through the ATP synthase (this protein acts as a “tunnel” where H⁺ go through), which uses the difference of protons (H⁺) concentration between the matrix (between 2 mitochondrial membranes) and the inner matrix of mitochondria.

The ATP synthase also acts as an enzyme, creating ATP using ADP + Pi (inorganic phosphorus)

The electrons used to help with this process, finally attach to O₂ (oxygen) to form H₂O

Which statement is true when considering color in a fiber?

Arisa [49]

The color is an effect as a result of different wavelengths and frequencies of the light waves. So, color is a property of an object that depends on the wavelength. From all the given statements the following is true: T<span>he color depends upon the lighting source. More precisely, the color depends upon the wavelength of the lighting source.</span>

What does this equation, 2 C(s) + O 2(g) ® 2 CO(g), tell us?

Zanzabum

Answer:

D. All of these.

Explanation:

For an equation to be balanced the number of atoms of each kind in the reactants and the products should be the same.

Then from this equation, CO is a product.

Last, two carbon atoms undergo reaction with the oxygen molecule for complete reaction to occur. Each atom combines with one oxygen atom.

In an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature favors the formation of products.

pentagon [3]

False, in an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature does not favor the formation of products. Instead, it favors the backward reaction. An exothermic reaction is a reaction where energy is transferred from the system out to the environment.
