When scientists say they share a universal genetic code it means that all organisms it can mean either:
 -DNA as the main source of hereditary information in all life forms we know of
 or more likely
 -that all organisms we know of use a three base pair code for the synthesis of proteins, DNA produces mRNA this mRNA is read three base pairs at a time by a ribosome, this is called the genetic code.

which statement correctly compares and contrast the three stages of cellluar respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen
Lapatulllka [165]
<h2><u>Full Question:</u></h2>

Which statement correctly compares and contrasts the three stages of cellular respiration that occur in the presence of oxygen? Each stage occurs in the mitochondria, but only the final stage produces ATP. Each stage produces ATP, but only the third stage occurs in the mitochondria. Each stage produces ATP, but only the first stage occurs in the cytoplasm. Each stage occurs in the cytoplasm, but only the final stage produces ATP.

<h2><u>Answer</u>:</h2>

Each stage produces ATP, but only the first stage occurs in the cytoplasm.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Cellular respiration is the process by which the glucose or any respiratory substrate is burned down inside a cell producing ATP or energy. This process of cellular respiration is seen in each and every living cell. The glucose is burned in the cytoplasm of the cell producing the pyruvate. This pyruvate is decarboxylated into Acetyl CoA and transferred inside the mitochondria. So the glycolysis or the 1st step of cellular respiration occurs in cytoplasm and rest inside the mitochondria.

ATP is produced from each astep of cellular respiration. So the correct option is option C.

All of the following are differences in transcription, RNA processing, and translation between prokaryotes and eukaryotes except
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

the mRNA goes through extensive modifications such as addition of a poly tail and a 5' cap in eukaryotes but not in prokaryotes.

Differences:

- the promoters in prokaryotes have a -35 and -10 box while in eukaryotes they are variable but have a TATA box from  

- the transcription initiation site there is a single RNA polymerase in prokaryotes while eukaryotes have multiple RNA polymerases

- the sigma factor associates with the promoter region in prokaryotes but in eukaryotes there are many basal transcription factors

Explanation:

Ribosomal and transfer RNAs are processed both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. However, mRNA is only processed in eukaryotes. In eukaryotic cells, mRNA processing involves:

1. Capping at the 5' end. This process has several functions including regulation of nuclear export, prevention of eukaryotic mRNA degradation and promotion of translation.

2. Splicing in order to remove introns and conserve coding exons. Splicing helps to increase the diversity of the eukaryotic mRNAs (and therefore eukaryotic proteins)

3. Polyadenylation by the addition of a poly(A) tail at the 3' end. The poly(A) tail makes the eukaryotic mRNA molecule more stable and also prevents its degradation by exonucleases.

2. Give ONE possible reason, biotic or abiotic, why the population decreased in 1990
klemol [59]

Answer:

availability of resources.

Explanation:

Availability of resources is abiotic factor which is responsible for the decrease in population in 1990 because when the population reaches its carrying capacity so the organisms compete with each other and due to limited resources such as food etc the decrease occurs in population. Infection is also occurs when there is high population due to which death occurs and population of organism decreases.

How is the increase in pulse rate while carrying out vigorous activities related to the rate of oxygen intake and release of car
polet [3.4K]
During exercise there is an increase in physical activity and muscle cells respire more than they do when the body is at rest. The heart rate increases during exercise. The rate and depth of breathing increases - this makes sure that more oxygen is absorbed into the blood, and more carbon dioxide is removed from it.
