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.

Mendel observed phenotypic traits during the cross of pea plants. Subsequently, he noted each trait had only two forms.

<h3>Mendel's Experiments</h3>

Mendel crossed pure-breeding pea plants, and then he crossed hybrid generations, as well crossed the hybrid progeny back to parental lines.

From these crosses, Mendel observed the descendence and then formulated a series of inheritance principles.

Mendel noted traits can be divided into dominant and recessive phenotypic characteristics.

Dominant characteristics were inherited in an unaltered manner after hybridization of true breeding [plants.
