If oxygen is present, then glucose can be broken all the way down into carbon dioxide and water. This process is called aerobic respiration because it requires air (oxygen). In the absence of oxygen, the cell uses a process called anaerobic fermentation. or simply fermentation.

<em>Answer: The complete glucose breakdown is a series of chemical reactions representing transformation of glucose to adenosine triphosphate during the normal phases of aerobic cellular respiration. It is mostly done inside the mitochondria to release the maximum amount of energy.</em>

In what way do two alleles for the same trait differ?

Alex17521 [72]

There is Homozygous Dominant which is two dominant alleles, then Homozygous Recessive which is two alleles that will only be shown if it is paired with heterozygous which is a Dominant and recessive. I hope that makes sense, sorry i’m bad at explaining but if it doesn’t I can try and explain it again.

What trends do you see in theorganisms of the ecosystem ifyou decrease CO2?

Maru [420]

Question:

Solution (explanation):

Within an ecosystem, we can find photosynthetic organisms such as plants. The general chemical reaction for photosynthesis is 6 carbon dioxide molecules and 6 water molecules, with the addition of solar energy. This produces 1 glucose molecule and 6 oxygen molecules. Therefore, if one of the reactants of the photosynthetic reaction, namely carbon dioxide, decreases, the amount of glucose (energy storage molecules) will decrease. Remember that energy storage molecules include glucose, starch, and fat.

Answer: we can conclude that the correct answer is:

Decrease in energy storage molecules.
