In comparing the functions, inputs, and outputs of the sub-processes of respiration, which statement provides the MOST accurate

explanation regarding the flow of energy during respiration?The Calvin cycle produces the same amount of ATP as glycolysis. The electron transport chain produces the same amount of ATP as the Krebs cycle. The electron transport chain produces more ATP than glycolysis or the Krebs cycle. The Calvin cycle produces more ATP than glycolysis or the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

<u>The electron transport chain produces more ATP than glycolysis or the Krebs cycle.  </u> -34 ATP vs 2 ATP respectively.

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

The electron transport chain, ETC functions in the inner mitochondrial membrane, it produces up to 34 ATP. Here, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen.

Further Explanation:

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
  • The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

Answer and Explanation:

Protein is one of the most important molecules in our organism, being present in the composition of all elements, in addition to participating in several metabolic processes. This importance creates the need to study this molecule, however, to study it it is necessary to know the composition chemistry and the levels of structure it presents.

The chemical composition of proteins is related to amino acids, since protein is formed by them. In this case, we can say that the proteins have the same composition as the amino acids containing carboxylic acid and different amino groups, which is what determines the name and function of the amino acid.

In addition to chemical composition, the structure levels of proteins are extremely important, as they only function at a specific structural level. As for these levels, proteins can have a primary structure (there are more than two amino acids organized in a linear row), a secondary structure (when the primary structure turns into a helix species), a tertiary structure (formed by a more intense folding of the secondary structure providing the appearance of helices and leaves) and quarternary structure (when several tertiary structures are joined, allowing folding at the three-dimensional level. This is the functional structure of the protein).

How do nucleotides and hydrogen bonds affect the structure of DNA?
melisa1 [442]
This is the structure of DNA and nucleotide is the phosphate group with sugar (the pink one ) and base that are 4 different bases : A, T, C, G and between these bases we have hydrogen bonds  and you can see that always it like : C≡G
A=T :))) i hope that helps :)))https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiawYOO7-...

Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between the leading and the lagging strands of DNA during D
Mrrafil [7]

The answer is; A & C

The lagging strand is replicated in fragments called Okazaki fragments, each initiated by a primer. The fragments are later joined into one strand by DNA ligase. Replication occurs by adding nucleotides to the 3’ end of a preceding nucleotide. Because the lagging strand is antiparallel to the leading strand, the replication of the lagging strand is in the opposite direction as the replication fork direction. This is why the lagging strand is replicated in fragments because replication is being carried out by a single DNA polymerase (moving in the direction of the replication fork) per replication fork.
