One of the similarities between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is that they both use glucose as the initial molecule, which is called the substrate. Moreover, both aerobic and anaerobic respiration produce Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), however, aerobic respiration produces more ATP compared to anaerobic respiration. Which actually means that glucose goes through dissimilar processes in anaerobic and aerobic respiration, therefore producing a different amount of ATP. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and is only done when there is an abundant supply of oxygen. On the contrary, anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen, therefore it can be used even with a small supply of oxygen, hence we can still produce some ATP, for example when doing a strenuous exercise. Additionally, the products of both reactions are not the same. Aerobic respiration produces water and carbon dioxide from the reaction. On the other hand, anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid only, that can be harmful in large amounts, that is why it has to go to the liver once it has been produced so that it will be broken down.

Answer:

There are a number of lipids that are found in foods and contribute to various functions in the body. Triglycerides are the most common lipid found in food and in the body; they consist of a Glycerol backbone attached to three fatty acids.

Fatty acids are classified based on the degree to which the carbon chain is saturated with Hydrogen

A fatty acid is saturated if it contains no carbon-carbon double bonds, polyunsaturated if it contains two or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and monounsaturated if it has only one carbon-carbon double bond.

The unsaturated fatty acids can exist in one of two structural forms: the trans form occurs when hydrogens on both carbons forming the double bond lie on opposite sides of that bond.

When hydrogens on an unsaturated fatty acid lie on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond, a cis formation exists.

During the course of successful prenatal development, a human organism begins as a(n) _____ and ends up as a(n) _____.

Olenka [21]

The correct answers are zygote and fetus. This is correct because the initial joining of the sperm and the egg is called the zygote. The zygote is the first step in prenatal development that grows and transforms over months into the final form, a fetus. The fetus is the last form of the zygote prior to birth.

1. Rainforests only cover around 2 percent the total surface area of the Earth, but really about 50 percent of the plants and animals on the earth live in the rainforest.

2. There are two different types of rainforests, and they include both temperate and tropical. The tropical rainforests are the ones that are most commonly found around the world.

3. A fifth of our fresh water is found in tropical rainforests, the Amazon Basin to be exact.

4. Within four square miles of tropical rainforest, you will find 1500 flowering plant species, 750 types of trees, and many of these plants can be helpful in combating cancer.

5. Rainforests are threatened each and every day, especially by practices such as agriculture, ranching, logging and mining.
