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.

Describe how to human body systems are synergized

diamong [38]

The brain, mind, and body are a single unit which cannot be separated. Any alteration in the brain affects the bodily functions. Any physical condition can cause changes in the mind and the brain.

Research has proven that this mind-body connection is vital for the overall functioning of a human being. The mind and the body are not separate. What affects one affects the other. An imbalance in the body can often find its root in an imbalance in the mind, and vice versa. Given this mind-body connection, it becomes imperative for any wellbeing treatment to address the concerns of both the mind and the body.

A transformer has a primary coil with 300 turns and is secondary coil with 600 turns. If the output voltage is 75 voltes, what i

Tcecarenko [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

150 volts

<u>Explanation:</u>

For a transformer which is designed and operated properly, the ratio of primary to secondary coil voltages is proportional to the ratio of primary to secondary coil winding turns.

Here in this case, we have 300 primary coil turns and 600 secondary coil turns which is the double of primary coil turns so the secondary voltage is the double of the primary voltage.

Input voltage = 2 x 75 = 150 volts

Which three statements may correctly explain why the population size increases after time point C?a. Bacteria that acquired a mu

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

A,C, D

Explanation:

Bacteria that acquired a mutation that conferred drug- resistance had a growth advantage over non-resistant bacteria.

Between time points C and D, drug-resistant bacteria were reproducing faster than non-drug resistant bacteria were dying.

The few drug-resistant bacteria in the population reproduced, quickly leading to a large drug- resistant population.

There is no indication that a second antibiotic was used, so it is not possible to assume a second drug-resistance mutation occurred. There is also no indication that antibiotics were discontinued.
