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

Biology

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.

A swimmer sprints a short distance for a competition. The swimmer is not able to take in enough oxygen to make the ATP needed fo
Reptile [31]

When the swimmer is unable to take in enough oxygen for the sprint, the ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) will be compromised. In such conditions, the body will use anaerobic respiration to produce the ATP. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It used the electron acceptors in place of the oxygen in the respiratory cycle. The amount of the ATP produced is, however, less in anaerobic respiration.

Hence, the answer is 'Option C - Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen'.

Mary and Tommy are measuring 10 grams of sugar on an electronic balance that measures to the hundredths of a gram. Tommy records
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 3.2 kg each time. Then the measurement is very precise.  

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 32 kg and one person weighed 31 kg and another person weighed 29 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

According to the question:

Mass weighed by Mary = 10.00 g

Mass weighed by Tommy = 10 g

As, mass weighed by Mary is reported upto 2 decimal places. Thus, it is more precise.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Angiosperms, dicots

Explanation:

Angiosperms are highly differentiated vascular plants which can produce flowers and bear fruits with seeds in them. These flowering plants undergo reproduction and produces new plants. The reproductive parts like ovules and ovaries, stigma, stamen, pollen are all present in the flowers.

Angiosperms can either be a monocot or dicot. If they contain two embryonic leaves or cotyledons they are referred as dicots. Flowering angiosperms like geranium, magnolias are all dicots.

Geranium is a dicot angiosperms that produces small purple flowers.

Gymnosperms or bryophytes do not bear flowers or fruits. Monocots have only embryonic leaf.
