What does it mean to say that glycolysis is an anaerobic process

Biology
1 answer:
alex41 [277]3 years ago
6 0

It means that it doesn’t require oxygen.

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration, which occurs in cytosol. During this process, glucose is broken down into two molecules (with three carbon atoms) called pyruvates, two ATP molecules and one NADH. Glycolysis can be divided into two phases:

• Energy-requiring phase in which two ATP molecules are used

• Energy-releasing phase in which four ATP molecules are made.

Anaerobic glycolysis is performed when amounts of oxygen (O2) are limited. In this type of glycolysis lactate and only two molecules of ATP are produced. Anaerobic glycolysis is effective during intense exercises.

In which scientific study would an ecologist take part?
Zina [86]
D. Observe how coral colonized a sunken ship. Ecologists look at how a whole ecology develops and maintains itself, so in this case, the coral on the sunken ship would be a whole ecology and the person studying it would be an ecologist.

What determines which electron donor and electron acceptor a given microbe uses in its anaerobic ETS? Choose one: A. Microbes us
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

B. The available donors and acceptors will induce gene expression of their redox enzymes, thereby allowing their use

Explanation:

Electron transport chain is the important stage of cellular respiration where the electron is donated by certain redox molecules.

The ETC takes place in both the aerobic and anaerobic type of respiration wherein the aerobic respiration, oxygen is used as the electron acceptor whereas in the anaerobic respiration some other molecules like sulfate and nitrate are used.

In anaerobic respiration, the type of electron donors and the donor-acceptor molecules determine the fate of the chain as these molecules act as an inducer of the genes of redox enzymes and the genes for the enzymes are expressed.

Thus, Option-B is correct.

In some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called "ligers." Male ligers ar
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

a prezygotic barrier

Explanation:

Both wild tigers and lions are said to be reproductively isolated.

Reproductive isolation is defined as the existence of barrier between organisms of different species such that they cannot reproduce.

The mechanisms of reproductive isolation varies. While some act to prevent the formation of zygotes (in case of mating) between organisms of different species, some ensures that the resulting zygotes are invalid.

Reproductive isolation mechanisms that act to prevent fertilization and formation of zygotes are referred to as prezygotic mechanisms while those that ensure that invalid zygotes result (in case of successful fertilization) are referred to post zygotic mechanisms.

<em>The natural differences in the ranges of wild tigers and lions ensure that both animals do not mate with each other, let alone results in zygote. This is a form of pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanism.</em>

Which would be more likely to carry out endocytosis: a white blood cell engulfing foreign materials or a cell that excretes horm
Irina-Kira [14]

A white blood cell engulfing foreign materials is more likely to carry out Endocytosis.

Explanation:

  • Endocytosis is the process by which a cell takes up a macromolecule into is cytoplasm by forming a vessicle.
  • In the question two cases are given, both the cases involve the formation of membrane bound  vessicle but in different ways.
  • The excretion of hormones involves the movement of molecule outside the cytoplasm. This process is exocytosis.
  • The engulfment of an antigen by WBC involves taking up of molecule within the cell so that it can be killed and digested. Thus in  this case  Endocytosis is more likely to occur..
