Answer:

The correct answer is conserving the energy of glucose and related molecules in chemical form that the cell can use for work

Explanation:

Glycolysis is an important process of cellular respiration.it occurs in the cytoplasm.

Glycolysis deals with the break down of glucose and formation of 2 molecules of ATP along with pyruvate.pyruvate then enter into miticondria to carry out the TCA cycle which result in the formation of ATP, NADH,FADH2 and oxaloacetate. NADH is also formed during Glycolysis.

In the final process of aerobic respiration known as oxidative phosphorylation the reducing agents such as NADH and FAFH2 are oxidized by liberating electrons and phosphorylation of ADP occurs by the energy generated by proton motive force resulting in the formation of ATP.

The so formmed ATP is a high energy compound which is utilized by our body to carry out various process such as muscle contraction ,fatty acid biosynthesis etc.

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

$243$

Explanation:

Let us assume the genotype of individual with five genes is AaBbCcDdEe

If we look at the simple mono-hybrid cross between two gene pairs let us say Aa and Aa, the following genotypes will be produced

Aa * Aa

AA, Aa, Aa, aa

So total three different type of genotypes will be produced i.e AA, Aa, and aa

Like wise cross between Bb and Bb will produce BB, Bb, bb

Product of Cc and Cc will produce CC, Cc and cc

Product of Dd and Dd will produce DD, Dd, dd

Product of Ee and Ee will produce EE, Ee, ee

So in total there will be 5 such groups which will assort independently/

Thus, the probability will be

$3 * 3* 3*3 *3\\= 3^5\\= 243$

In plants, whats is hard, protective structure inside which sperm cells form? ovule or ovary or anther or pollen grain

nataly862011 [7]

The answer is the anther because an ovule and an ovary are female reproduction parts and a pollen grain does not produce sperm nor is it hard.

Based on your observations, which way does earth rotate—from east to west, or west to east? Explain your answer.

JulijaS [17]

Based on my observations, the earth rotates from west to east about the axis of rotation. The counter-clockwise rotation of the earth is as viewed from the North Pole star Polaris.

My observations supporting the counter-clockwise rotation of the earth are:

The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

All celestial objects including the stars and the moon rise in the east and set in the west.

The rotation is the result of the strong geomagnetic field of the earth. It is also responsible for the formation of day and night on the planet.
