This is a cellular respiration question, related to biology.
Some processes in our bodies require the use oxygen, others do not.
In this case, the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl co-enzyme A and the production of water in the electron transport chain do require oxygen.
If oxygen was not present for pyruvate, it would turn into lactic acid via fermentation. Water in the ETC is formed in the process when NADH and FADH2 are converted to molecular oxygen due to the electron transporters. The protons are then pumped and oxygen is reduced to form H2O.
I would go with D as it is closest to correct. Every part of the surface of the Earth is a tectonic plate though. The plates vary in thickness, but all of the surface of the Earth is made up of tectonic plates, including the parts under the ocean. Technically, the Earth's landmass does not rest on the tectonic plates, it IS the tectonic plates, but it is the closest to correct here in my opinion.
Answer:
C. Phylogenetic niche conservatism
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the term that best explains these "living fossils" is Phylogenetic niche conservatism. This refers to the tendency that a specific species has for retaining certain traits from the ancestors. Which explains why the living "cycads" are nearly identical to fossils.
Answer:
The right answers are mentioned in the picture.
A base pair (bp) is the pairing of two nucleobases located on two complementary strands of DNA or RNA. This pairing is carried out by hydrogen bridges. There are four types of nucleic bases: A-T-C-G, these letters Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine. A with T and C with G.
It is also necessary to take into account the antiparallel character of the DNA strands. If a strand is in the 5 '3' direction, its complete strand is in the 3 '5' direction.
