Answer:

Water

Explanation:

Molecular oxygen is the terminal electron acceptor and serves to receive electrons from reduced NADH and FADH2 to reoxidize them. NADH and FADH2 are formed during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. These reducing powers should be re-oxidized to enter in the first two steps of aerobic respiration again.

For the purpose, NADH, and FADH2 transfer their electrons to the molecular oxygen via electron transport chain. After accepting the electrons, molecular oxygen is oxidized into the water molecule. Therefore, radioactive oxygen isotope would appear in the form of a water molecule after completion of cellular respiration.

Cyanobacteria and purple sulfur bacteria both obtain energy from light. however, only the ________ are capable of releasing ____
kap26 [50]

Answer: Cyanobacteria, oxygen

Cyanobacteria also known as Cynophyta and blue green algae. It is a phyllum of bacteria that produces it's own food like plants by the process of photosynthesis. It is found in freshwater lakes, damp soils, oceans, moistened rocks and even in animal fur. The purple sulfur bacteria belongs to the group of Proteobacteria. It is an anaerobic bacteria. It is found in hot springs, and stagnant water. It is a photosynthesizing bacterial strain like Cyanobacteria but it does not utilize water to be reduced in the photosynthesis process like in Cynobacteria, to produce oxygen.

Hence, only the <u>Cyanobacteria</u> are capable of releasing <u>oxygen</u>.

What would happen if you flew into jupiter?
aleksley [76]
A major problem in sending space probes to Jupiter is that the planet has no solid surface on which to land, as there is a smooth transition between the planet's atmosphere and its fluid interior. Any probes descending into the atmosphere are eventually crushed by the immense pressures within Jupiter
