Why is cellular respiration called an aerobic process

1 answer:

7 0

<span>Cellular respiration in the cells of organisms is a metabolic process and metabolic reaction to convert nutrients (specifically, biochemical nutrients) to ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process can be aerobic respiration (involves oxygen) or anaerobic respiration( does not require oxygen).</span> Aerobic process is a cellular respiration which involves oxygen. ATP is made when oxygen is present as it releases energy from glucose and other carbon-based molecules. In this process, plenty of ATP molecules are made compared to the anaerobic process which does not involve oxygen and only creates two molecules of ATP. <em />

Which of the following statements is true?

KIM [24]

Secondary consumers receive less energy from the food chain than primary consumers.

Primary consumers are herbivores, meaning they eat the plants that have 100% energy.

Secondary consumers are either omnivores or carnivores. This means that they eat both animals and plants. In the situation that a secondary consumer is a carnivore, the secondary consumer is receiving less energy from the primary consumer.

Hope this helps!

Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in humans. If a man with Achondroplasia ( heterozygous) and a normal wo

tresset_1 [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism that affects the formation of cartilage; early in development, most of the skeleton is comprised of cartilage. Cartilage is a type of flexible, tough tissue; in achondroplasia ossification (conversion of cartilage to bone) is affected. Symptoms include an enlarged head, shorter upper and lower limbs, and limited motion at the elbow.

Punnett squares are illustrations that display the product of hybrid trait crosses by genetic breeding.

For this cross...

Assuming Achondroplasia= dominant

Parent generation or P generation:

gametes: An → Achondroplasia dominant (A), No Achondroplasia recessive (n)

Heterozygousity describes the allelic makeup; these traits comprise two varying forms of a gene. However, homozygous traits comprise identical forms of the gene.

Male: An → with Achondroplasia

Female: nn → without Achondroplasia

genotypes and phenotypes for parent and offspring...

Assuming heterozygousity of the male , for the cross

P generation: An × nn

Achondroplasia × No Achondroplasia

F1 generation:

genotype: An × nn ...(from punnet square)

phenotype: 2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without

∴ 50% are genotypically heterozygous while 50% is homozygous , 2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without

A scientist found two different sizes of a same protein obtained from plants and animals. This size difference in same type of p

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Deletion and glycosylation.

Explanation:

Proteins is polymers of the alpha amino acids that are directly linked together through the peptide bond. Proteins plays an important role in the metabolic pathways as most enzymes are made of protein.

The same protein can exist in two different size. This might occur due to the deletion of the particular amino acids sequence in one organism and normal in other organisms. The glycosylation of the same protein at different position in the proteins may also leads to the difference in the protein size.

Thus, the correct answer is deletion and glycosylation.
