In most hypotheses of early Earth and the formation of life, it is accepted that the atmosphere was a reducing one. This means t

hat there was an abundance of methane, ammonia, and water vapor, but there was an absence of significant amounts of oxygen gas. Based on this assumption, what was likely the first metabolic activity to harness ATP to evolve in primitive cells?
A) Photosynthesis, as plants evolved before animals
B) Cellular respiration, as this generates the most ATP
C) Glycolysis, as this does not require organelles not oxygen
D) Calvin cycle, as glucose was required by all cells for metabolism

Answer:

C

Explanation:

It is believed that glycolysis – the first phase of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells- is considered an ancient biochemical process that early organisms utilized to tap the energy required for cell functions. This is because the process does not require oxygen – because early conditions on earth were anoxic before the great oxygenation event.  It is after the great oxygenation event that the Krebs cycle evolved.

How does weathering help to create soil?
liberstina [14]
Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock. Hence, the broken rocks are transported to another place where it decomposes and forms soil. Therefore weathering is important for soil formation

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

As we have studied in junior classes <em>that all animals including bacteria contain a plasma membrane around their cell which controls the movement of water and materials to and from the cell.</em>

The bacteria are the main hazard in pesticides and if we study about its structure, it contains both cell membrane and cell wall. Now another point in that bacteria lives in a moist or hypotonic environment in which the concentration of water inside the cell is less than the concentration of water outside the cell. This results in more movement of water from outside to inside the cell since we know that water moves from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration.

Now when the water moves inside the bacterial cell, it can burst bacterial cell but thanks to the presence of cell wall which donot lets the burst caused.

So coming towards sugar solution, when bacteria are dipped in dilute sugary , the outside environment around a cell is sugary, and the concentration of water in the solution is less than inside the cell and water tends to leave the cell. the major effect of sugary solution is that it withdraws water from inside the body of micro organisms if the external concentration of sugar is high enough. When the water will move out of their body, they will die and their spores will not be able to germinate too.

This will eventually make our food (vegetable, fruit or any other) clean.

Hope it helps!
