Binary fission is for reproduction of a cell by division into two equals parts 
vazorg [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. The advantages of binary fission is that this process requires only one individual. Secondly, it is a fast process of division as some in some of the bacteria divides in every 20 minutes. Binary fission produces offspring without genetic variation.

The oxidation of glucose to two molecules each of pyruvate, ATP, and NADH is called ________ and occurs in the ______.
rodikova [14]

Answer:

1. Glycolysis

2. Cytoplasm

Explanation:

This question is describing the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration, which is the process by which organisms obtain their energy (ATP), occurs in stages. The first stage undergone by all living cells is called GLYCOLYSIS.

IN GLYCOLYSIS, glucose molecule (from digested food) is broken down via oxidation in the CYTOPLASM of the cell, into two molecules each of pyruvate, ATP, and NADH. The pyruvate proceeds to the other stages of cellular respiration.

The movement of H+ through the ATP synthase is best described as an example of __________. The movement of H+ through the ATP sy
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation, involving the Electron transport chain and Chemiosmosis is the third stage of cellular respiration. The main purpose of the ETC is to build an electrochemical (electrical and concentration) gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. It does this by using energy to pump protons (H+ ions) from the matrix to the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria.

Facilitated diffusion, also known as passive transport through channels, is a form of facilitated transport involving a passive movement of molecules along their concentration gradient, through channels called membrane proteins.

During Chemiosmosis of Oxidative phosphorylation, protons (H+) flow back down their concentration gradient (from inter-membrane space to matrix) due to the chemiosmotic gradient that has been formed in ETC. However, hydrogen ions (H+) cannot pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane except through an enzyme (protein) found in the inner mitochondrial membrane called ATP synthase. This protein acts as a machine powered by the force of the H+ diffusing through it, down an electrochemical gradient. This movement of H+ via ATP synthase further catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP.

It is an example of facilitated diffusion because H+ ions are diffusing across the inner mitochondrial membrane (from inter-membrane space to matrix) via a protein channel or membrane protein called ATP synthase.

Which of the following practices that are needed to run a nuclear power plant has a negative impact on both air and water
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The options are

a.cooling of the power plant

b.mining of uranium

c.storage of radioactive waste

d.monitoring the reactor

The answer is b.mining of uranium

Explanation:

Uranium is known as a radioactive element which is used as a fuel to power a nuclear energy plant. Mining of uranium could cause it to mix with air and water which results in contamination.

When contamination occurs and it gets into the body of humans or animals by inhalation or ingestion it poses a high risk of cancer and kidney damage.
