Answer:

The correct answer is: A) forms fewer ATP molecules than cellular respiration.

Explanation:

Alcoholic fermentation is an anaerobic process (made in absence of oxygen) in which carbohydrates such as glucose and fructose are converted into cellular energy, with the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products. Alcoholic fermentation, however, only produces 2 ATP molecules as opposed to the 38 ATP molecules formed during cellular respiration.

Alcoholic fermentation is performed mostly by yeasts, and its products are used by humans in the making of alcoholic beverages such as beer and the cooking of bread.

Option B is incorrect because alcoholic fermentation is performed when there's no oxygen around, this makes it anaerobic.

Option C is false. There is fermentation occurring in the muscle cells of animals and humans but it's not alcoholic- it's lactic acid fermentation.

Option D is false as well because the end products are carbon dioxide and ethanol.

Soon after the island of hawaii rose above the sea surface (somewhat less than one million years ago), the evolution of life on

MrRa [10]

There are choices for this question namely:

A) genetic bottleneck.
B) sexual selection.
C) habitat differentiation.
D) founder effect.

The correct answer is founder effect. The definition of founder effect is the loss of genetic variation when a new population is established in a small number of individuals from a larger population. The larger population in the context is the ecosystem in Hawaii before it rose from the sea surface. After it rose above the sea surface, most organisms will not be able to survive in land but there will be a small population that can evolve from there.

Use the rock cycle to explain why sedimentary rock will never be the only form of rock on earth

scoundrel [369]

Every time a volcano erupts, the magma always cools down and turn into igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks are created underground due to heat, pressure and time. The production of these rocks will always continue unless an extreme phenomenon causes all volcanoes to go dormant forever and the earth's crust disappears. Lol

Answer:

Perilymph is a fluid similar to cerebrospinal fluid that fills the space between the bony labyrinth and the membranous labyrinth.

Explanation:

The inner ear consists of the bony labyrinth and the membranous labyrinth, it is filled of endophilia and surrounded by perinfilia (the bony labyrinth surrounds the membranous, between both there is a space occupied by the perilymph). Perilymph is an albuminous fluid that has an ionic composition similar to the extracellular environment, it bathes the tympanic and vestibular ramps, fully occupying the bony cavities of the inner ear, bathing the membranous parts located inside these cavities.
