Explain how we theoretically get 32 atp molecules per glucose oxidized in the liver, but only 30 atp molecules per glucose oxidi

zed in the brain.

Answer:

During the oxidation of glucose in the liver the malate aspartate shuttle system is used, therefore, two additional ATPs get generated at the step constituting glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.  

On the other hand, in the brain, a cell uses the glycerol phosphate shuttle system, which generates two less number of ATPs. However, the remaining of the energetics for the number of ATP in both cases are similar.  

Thus, the difference is based upon the kind of shuttle system used that leads to the production of 32 ATPs in liver cells and 30 ATPs in the brain cells.

When a nurse becomes too emotionally attached to her​ patients, it becomes difficult for her to do her job effectively?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer – True

When a nurse, or generally a medical or health practitioner is too emotionally attached to the patient, it affects their effectiveness in carrying out their duties. This is the reason why medical and health practitioners are generally prohibited from treating close relatives.

If the concentration of glucose is higher outside the cell than inside,then what will happen by the process of diffusion
sergeinik [125]
The concentration of glucose outside the cell is higher than the concentration of glucose inside the cell, thus there is a concentration gradient. The molecules of glucose move randomly and there is a net movement from outside to the inside, down the concentration gradient.

Finch species living on the Galapagos Islands exhibit a variety of beak types that favor different foods. Finches that eat seeds
Setler [38]

Explanation:

<u>B) There is an abundance of seeds and nuts.</u>

The finches have developed adaptations to their environment. Their specialized beaks allow them to adequately exploit the available resources, by utilizing the more abundant food source.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained.

Conversely in meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.  Crossing over, independent assortment, and random fertilization ensure genetic variation.

This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species; they form new traits called alleles, which may confer adaptations that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring an advantage.
