What gas is a reactant in cellular respiration

Biology
1 answer:
pochemuha2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation: Although cellular respiration has multiple parts, the basic chemical equation is:

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation: Oxygen + Glucose (sugar) = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)

This equation is often broken into two parts, the reactants and the products. Reactants are the molecules that begin cellular respiration, in this case that would be oxygen and glucose. Products are what forms during cellular respiration. Here, the products are carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As the focus of this lesson is on the reactants of cellular respiration, oxygen and glucose, let's take a look at those.

Reactants--

The first reactant in the equation for cellular respiration is oxygen. Most people are familiar with oxygen since it's the primary gas needed for sustaining our lives. We obtain oxygen by simply breathing. Oxygen is highly reactive and therefore perfectly suited for driving chemical reactions such as cellular respiration. However, people may be less familiar with the second reactant in our respiration equation: glucose.

What structure of the sarcomere shortens during muscle contraction?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The Z lines and H- zone shortens during the muscle contraction.

Explanation:

Sarcomere is the area between the two Z lines. The Z- lines are present in the centre of I - band and H - zone is present in the A - band. The actin filaments which are thin filaments present in I- band and contracts, slide over the myosin filament during contraction.

The I - band, H- zones are became shortens as they are thin than the A- band. It is anisotropic band having thick myosin filaments. They are not flexible and remain in its constant shape during the muscle contraction.

After the muscle contraction, the A- band and the H- zone comes to their original shape. In other words, the sarcomere shortens and comes back during muscle contraction, and relaxation.
