Answer:
The Knee Flexor Muscles
Explanation: The Hamstrings All three hamstring muscles originate from the ischial tuberosity and run toward the knee. The biceps femoris muscle is inserted into the head of the fibula. It can rotate the lower leg so that the foot points laterally.
Answer:
because school is torture
Oxygen is required for aerobic respiration. This reaction produces ATP (universal currency for energy) which our bodies use to survive. Without oxygen much less ATP is produced, as aerobic respiration cannot occur in the lack of oxygen. ATP can be formed by anaerobic respiration, in the lack of oxygen, but this produces far far fewer molecules of ATP. This also produces lactic acid causing us to become fatigued and tired. Thus oxygen is crucial to produce the maximum amount of ATP possible.
Glucose is the main molecule which is respired by our bodies to produce ATP/ energy, which our bodies use to survive. Oxygen and glucose react in the mitochondria to make ATP (release energy.) It therefore, is called a respiratory substrate.
Note: I'm avoided talking about the exact phases of respiration as it is usually not covered till college/ A level standards. If you would like to know exactly which reaction requires oxygen and how it's used (i.e. the stages of respiration) don't hesitate to ask.
Mitochondria transfer chemical energy from food to ATP; chloroplasts transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP.
<span>Mitochondria and chloroplasts are capable for converting chemical energy<span> from food (or light) in the cell to energy in a form usable to that cell (ATP).</span></span>
<span>High-energy electrons which are produced during the oxidation of food molecules (or from the action of sunlight in case of chloroplast) are transferred through the electron transport chain located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. These electron transfers release energy that is used to pump H+ and thus generate an electrochemical proton gradient. H+ moves down its electrochemical gradient through a protein called ATP synthase permitting the proton gradient to drive the production of ATP.</span>
The answer is false. The reason is: Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they must eat or absorb it. For this reason, heterotrophs are also known as consumers.
