Explanation:

<u>anaerobic process that restores NAD+ supply </u>

<u></u>

Within cells, aerobic respiration may not occur due to several factors:

- a lack of inorganic, final electron acceptors
-incomplete or lack of a complete electron transport system
-missing genes for enzymes within the Kreb's cycle

Thus, they utilize other means for the generation of energy in the form of ATP and to replenish NAD+ an oxidized form of NADH, the main electron carrier in glycolysis. Pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis- it is also used as an electron acceptor in a process called fermentation.

Further Explanation:

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

Answer:

Starch present in A and C, starch not present in B.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants synthesise sugar.

This process requires light energy, carbon dioxide, and water, and produces sugar and oxygen. This sugar can be turned into starch.

In leaf B, the chemical that absorbs carbon dioxide would mean that there is none in the air for the plant to take in and use for photosynthesis, so it would not make sugar which can be converted to starch.

This is in contrast to C and A, where there is carbon dioxide present in the bag that can be used in photosynthesis.

Answer:

d. on the plasma membrane

Explanation:

According to the endosymbiotic theory the origin of mitochondrion is from the prokaryotic organism: primitive host cell (future eukaryotic cell) engulfed prokaryotic cell (endosymbiont) that provided the functions that evolved into mitochondria. Both of them had benefits: the endosymbiont gained protection and some essential nutrients from the host, while host had the energy and oxygen source from the endosymbiont.

So, the plasma membrane of the endosymbiotic prokaryotic cell became the membrane of the mitochondrion.

Makovka662 [10]

Ftsz, mreb, and cres ,proteins regulate the shape and structure of bacterial prokaryotic cells. These proteins are homologous to the Cytoskeleton in eukaryotes. Homologous meaning they have the same evolutionary origin but not necessarily having the same function. Cytoskeleton forms a framework for the movement of organelles around the cytoplasm, most organelles are attached to the cytoskeleton.

Lets calculate the parameters of the problem. Suppose that the width is x feet. THen, the length is x+30 feet. The area of this parallelogram is given by the product of length and width, hence x(x+30). This has to be equal to 600.
Hence, x is the solution to the equation x(x+30)=600.
x*x+30x=600 hence x*x+30x-600=0. This is a second degree equation and we can calculate Δ=b*b-4ac=3300. The general solution is given by:
$x= \frac{-b+ \sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}$ .
Substituting, we get that x=-30/4+ $\sqrt{3300} /4$ or x=-7.5+25* $\sqrt{33}$ . This is the width; the length is given by x+30.
