Eukaryotic cells, the theoretical maximum yield of ATP generated per glucose is 36 to 38, depending on how the 2 NADH generated in the cytoplasm during glycolysis enter the mitochondria and whether the resulting yield is 2 or 3 ATP per NADH
Answer:
has Two oxygen atoms
Explanation:
Oxygen is a diatomic element hence exists as O2 for majority of its existence in our atmosphere. Although small portion does exist in form of O3 which protects earth from sun's harmful ray, the majority portion of oxygen has O2 which is the oxygen we breathe.
Answer:
Physical weathering is caused by purely mechanical changes to the rock, while chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions.
Explanation:
Chemical weathering happens when the chemicals get diluted and dissolved in water and seep and percolate down the rock surfaces.
Physical weathering happens when rocks are fragmented into minor fragments while ensuring no alterations in their chemical makeup. The main causes behind physical weathering include spontaneous fluctuations in temperature like too high or too low heat or cold
Answer: The stage of metamorphosis this occurs is called the PUPA stage. The correct option is D.
Explanation:
Metamorphosis can be defined as the change in form, mode of life and behaviour that occurs during embryonic development of an organism. In the metamorphosis of insects, which mostly reproduce sexually, insects can be grouped according to the way the eggs develop into adults. Some show:
--> Complete metamorphosis or
--> Incomplete metamorphosis.
In the life cycle of a butterfly, a COMPLETE metamorphosis occurs. This is because after fertilization, the EGG hatches into LARVA which passes through a PUPAL stage before becoming transformed into an ADULT insect. That is:
Egg --> Larva --> Pupa --> Imago.
When the caterpillar, which is the Larva stage, has reached its full size, it spins a pad of silk on a twig. It moves upward and attached it's clasper to this pad. It spin another silk thread at the thorax. These aids it to assume a slanting position with the head end pointing upwards. The pupa stage called the CHRYSALIS is reached when it tucks it's head under its thorax, arches it's body, shortens and broadens, and moults for the last time. Therefore the correct option is D (pupa).
