How do cells get ATP, the energy currency that does work in living things?

1 answer:

3 0

How do cells get ATP through Cellular Respiration.
Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria. The Mitochondria use oxygen (O2) to convert broken-down glucose (at type of sugar) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
The reactants of CR are oxygen and glucose.
The products of CR are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

Balancee por tanteo las siguientes ecuaciones químicas. Escriba el nombre a reactantes y productos. H2O5 + H2O ---> HNO3 Na2O

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a. N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃ (pentóxido de dinitrógeno + agua ⇒ ácido nítrico)

b. Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH (óxido de sodio + agua ⇒ hidróxido de sodio)

Explanation:

Tenemos que balancear, por el método de tanteo, las siguientes ecuaciones químicas.

a. En la primera reacción, el pentóxido de dinitrógeno reacciona con agua para formar ácido nítrico. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ HNO₃

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos HNO₃ por 2.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃

b. En la segunda reacción, óxido de sodio reacciona con agua para formar hidróxido de sodio. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ NaOH

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos NaOH por 2.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH

Dr. Terror has developed a new alloy called Ultranomium. He is testing a bar that is 1.25 m1.25 m long and has a mass of 382 g.3

MrRissso [65]

Answer:0.8742j/g°C

Explanation: SOLUTION

GIVEN

length of bar=1.25m

mass 382g

temperature= 20°C to 288°C

Q=89300J

Specific Heat Capacity will be calculated using

Q=mC∆T

where

C = specific heat capacity

Q = heat

m = mass

Δ T = change in temperature

C=Q/ m∆T

=89300/382X(288-20.6)

=0.8742j/g°C

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

For a: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and $Na_3N$

For b: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and $SrO$

For c: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and $AlCl_3$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

For a: Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is $Na_3N$

For b: Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is $SrO$

For c: Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^1$

To form $Al^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is $AlCl_3$

Why is Hawaii made of volcanoes?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands were literally created from lots of volcanoes—they're a trail of volcanic eruptions. In the case of the Hawaiian Islands, the Pacific Plate is continually moving to the northwest over the Hawaiian hot spot. This movement caused the Hawaiian chain of islands to form.
