Answer:

0, 2, 4

Explanation:

The process of cellular respiration takes place in for phases which oxidizes the glucose molecule to the provide energy molecule called ATP.

Along with ATP, the process releases the metabolic water and carbon dioxide gas. In the oxidation of one glucose molecules, about 6 molecules of CO₂ are released. These CO₂ molecules are produced in the following manner:

1. Glycolysis: CO₂ gas is not produced during this reaction but only ATP and NADH are produced.

2. Pyruvate decarboxylation: the process converts the pyruvate produced by glycolysis to Acetyl-CoA. Formation of 1 Acetyl-CoA produces 1 CO₂ and since 2 Acetyl-CoA is produced therefore produces 2 CO₂ molecules.

3. Citric acid cycle: The cycle converts 2 Acetyl-CoA and produces 4 CO₂ in two cycles converting each Acetyl-CoA.

Thus, 0, 2, 4 is correct.

How does newtons law of universal gravitation apply to earth and the moon
Nataly [62]
Newton proved that the force that causes, for example, an apple to fall toward the ground is the same force that causes the moon to fall around, or orbit, the Earth. This universal force also acts between the Earth and the Sun, or any other star and its satellites. Each attracts the other.

Why can't more than one sperm enter an egg?
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>Only one sperm normally fuses with an egg because if more than one sperm fuses, through a process called polyspermy, development of the zygote usually stops.


</span>
<span>Fertilization of one egg by two sperm is possible, but the resulting zygote is almost never viable because such a zygote would have three sets of chromosomes instead of the normal two. This condition, called triploidy, is usually incompatible with life. Those rare triploid infants that do survive to term have severe and multiple birth defects and rarely live more than a few days. </span>

Individuals in a species have genetic variation that can be passed on to their offspring
grandymaker [24]

Answer: Genetic variation within a species can result from a few different sources. Mutations, the changes in the sequences of genes in DNA, are one source of genetic variation. ... As a result, the tree-colored moths are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on their genes.
