When electrons move through a series of electron acceptor molecules in cellular respiration ________.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Verizon [17]3 years ago

Answer:

oxygen is reduced to form water.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration

It is the set of reactions in which the ac. Pyruvic produced by glycolysis is split into CO2 and H2O and 36 ATP are produced. In eukaryotic cells breathing is performed in the mitochondria. It occurs in two stages:

- PIRUVATE OXIDATION

- AC CYCLE TRICARBOXYL

The "problem" with fermentation is that, by using organic molecules as terminal electron acceptors and having to dispose of the resulting product (lactic acid / ethanol) as waste, the potential energy of these compounds is lost.

The alternative solution is to use some non-organic molecule that can accept electrons and thus become a reduced molecule. Oxygen is perfect for this, because after receiving the electrons it combines with two protons, thus becoming the perfect liquid residue for the environment: H2O.

A beaker contains 100.0 mL of pure water. A second beaker contains 100.0 mL of seawater. The two beakers are left side by side o
shusha [124]

Answer: The beaker in which water level has decreased more is the one that contains pure water.

Explanation: Even when water is not heated it can evaporate, that is because molecules move at different speed and those that are closer to surface can break the gass pressure and scape as water vapor.

The movement of molecules of water can be affected by the presence of solutes (salts or other soluble compounds) and increase the evaporation temperature. For this particular case, molecules of salt atract the water molecules (remember salt has ions and water is a dipole with partial charges) and do not let the water move freely which avoid them to scape to the surface.
