The correct answer is: Prokaryotic DNA is much smaller than eukaryotic DNA.

The first difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genome is its structure and complexity: Prokaryotic cells have a small amount of DNA in the form of a single, circular chromosome located in the cytoplasm, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and DNA arranged in multiple, linear chromosomes in it; eukaryotic cell has about 25 times more DNA than a prokaryotic cell. Differences in replication between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:

• point of origin

• direction- replication occurs in two opposing directions in prokaryotes while in eukaryotes it is unidirectional

• polymerases- in prokaryotes there are only one or two enzymes polymerases, while in eukaryotes four or more

• faster rate in prokaryotic cells.

What is the primary energy system to fuel cycling at 70% of VO2 Max for 15 minuets?
ANEK [815]
The primary energy system to fuel cycling for 15 minutes is THE AEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS SYSTEM.
There are different energy systems for fueling different types of physical exercise, the type of system that is used depend on the duration of the physical exercise. The energy system that exist are anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic glycolysis, phosphagem system and fatty acid oxidation. The aerobic glycolysis energy system relies on the complete breakdown of glucose. The pyruvate which is the end product of glucose oxidation is further broken down to acetyl coA, which then enters into the citric acid cycle. The aerobic glycolysis energy system is used for physical exercises that last between three to twenty minutes.

Which describes the process of cellular respiration?
True [87]

The process of cellular respiration catabolic pathway that breaks molecules into energy

<u>Explanation:</u>

Metabolic pathways consist of two distinct types: catabolic and anabolic. Catabolic deliver energy while breaking down molecules into easier molecules. Cellular respiration is one case of a catabolic pathway. During cellular respiration, sugar is held in by the cell and break to discharge energy that enables us to live.

Cellular respiration is the manner of oxidizing food particles, similar glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The method transpires in two states:

  • glycolysis, the division of glucose to pyruvic acid
  • the entire oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water
