Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain certain things with the body at the same level, this is demonstrated for example in warm-blooded animals having a constant temperature.

Which describes the process of fermentation?
xxMikexx [17]

Explanation:

<u>anaerobic process that restores NAD+ supply </u>

<u></u>

Within cells, aerobic respiration may not occur due to several factors:

  • - a lack of inorganic, final electron acceptors
  • -incomplete or lack of a complete electron transport system
  • -missing genes for enzymes within the Kreb's cycle

Thus, they utilize other means for the generation of energy in the form of ATP and to replenish NAD+ an oxidized form of NADH, the main electron carrier in glycolysis. Pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis- it is also used as an electron acceptor in a process called fermentation.

Further Explanation:

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
  • The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

A gardener is installing several large flower beds. The flower beds will vary in length from 5 to 12 feet. Depending on the type
dezoksy [38]

The gardener should address the measurements he needs to make so that planting information is clear, and that the roots are spaced to grow.

<h3>How to calculate amount of landscaping plants?</h3>

 just divide the area of the bed by the area occupied by the seedling and we will have the total amount of seedlings to be used. In this way, we also understand that the area occupied by the seedling is equal to the spacing between seedlings raised to the square.

<h3>How to calculate the spacing between plants?</h3>

If we plant with a spacing of 0.60 meters, the number of seeds per meter will be calculated as follows: Being 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters and the spacing between rows of 0.60 m, we have the equivalent of a range of 0, 60 meters by 16,667 linear meters (10,000 divided by 0.60).

With this information, we can conclude that the area occupied by the seedling is equal to the spacing between seedlings raised to the square.
