The correct answer is:  D. Alcohol fermentation

Alcohol fermentation is a form of anaerobic where the simple sugars such as glucose or fructose are converted into energy (ATP) and the products of this reaction are ethanol and carbon dioxide. Alcohol mechanism is performed by yeast and some fishes. This is a mechanism used for the production of alcoholic beverages.

Which of the following statements correctly describes some aspect of ATP hydrolysis being used to drive the active transport of
saw5 [17]

Answer:

B) This is an example of energy coupling

Explanation:

Energy coupling is a process by which cells carry out thermodynamically unfavorable, endergonic (energy-requiring) reactions to other exergonic (reactions that liberate free energy) reactions.

Reactions which are endergonic do not occur spontaneously as they result in a decrease in entropy and a positive free energy change, ∆G.

Exergonic reactions occur spontaneously as they result in an increase in entropy and have a negative free energy change, ∆G.

For example, the active transport of ions against their concentration gradients in cells is a non-spontaneous endergonic process which is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP, an exergonic process in other for the reaction to proceed. ATP hydrolysis phosphorylates an amino acid side chain in the transport protein which then drives the forward process of transport of the ion.

Considering the above,

Option A: The hydrolysis of ATP is endergonic, and the active transport is exergonic is false because ATP hydrolysis is exergonic while active transport is endergonic.

Option B: This is an example of energy coupling is true.

Option C: Both ATP hydrolysis and active transport are spontaneous because they result in an increase in entropy of the system is false because only ATP hydrolysis is spontaneous

Option D: Neither ATP hydrolysis nor active transport is spontaneous is false because ATP hydrolysis is spontaneous.

Option E: ATP is acting as a transport protein to facilitate the movement of the ion across the plasma membrane is false because ATP is not a protein, rather it serves to activate the transport protein by phosphorylating it.

According to the nebular theory stars are formed in which sequence
tatiyna
<span>According to the nebular theory stars are formed in which sequence: 
a. Interstellar clouds - "nebula" is a Latin word which means clouds. These clouds start to form and are composed of gases like hydrogen and helium. 

b.Clumps - as the gases start to form and come together they form clumps of gases that are highly concentrated and they start to grow.

c. Gravitational forces - when clumps have grown into big sizes the gravitational forces that are found within it increases and are converted into kinetic energy of fast-moving particles that continuously bump into each other and create or generate heat. 
</span><span>
d. Nuclear fission - as the clumps keep on colliding and creating heat (18 million degrees Fahrenheit), nuclear fission begins. 

e. Outward pressure from the nuclear fission prevents the collapse of the gases, stabilizing the gases eventually creating a star. </span>
