Answer:

20 molecules of ATP

Explanation:

Krebs cycle or also known as Tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) is the second stage of aerobic cellular respiration which occurs in the mitochondria. In the kreb cycle, pyruvate, which was synthesized in the first stage of cellular respiration (glycolysis) is broken down into carbon dioxide (CO2).

However, in the krebs cycle, two (2) ATP molecules is produced per glucose molecule that enters cellular respiration. Hence, according to this question, If 10 glucose molecules enter the Krebs cycle, (2 × 10) = 20ATP molecules will be possibly produced.

When comparing proteins and polysaccharides, the following similarities

lianna [129]

Answer:

The comparison of proteins and polysaccharides establishes that they have similarity in both consist of linked monomers via the process dehydration reactions.

Explanation:

Both proteins and polysaccharides are polymers whose structure consists of the union of monomers. In the case of proteins the monomer is the amino acid, while in the polysaccharides can be glucose molecules.

The process of polymer formation is called polymerization, and one of the reactions that this process allows is polycondensation, where a water molecule is lost in the union of monomers.

The loss of water in a chemical reaction involves dehydration, a characteristic shared by the processes of adding monomers to proteins and polysaccharides.

The other options are not correct, because

Hydrolysis produces the rupture of molecules, with the intervention of water.
Only polysaccharides are sugars bound by the dehydration synthesis process.
Only proteins consist of amino acids linked through the process of hydrolysis.

What makes a vertebrate chordate different from an invertebrate chordate?

olasank [31]

Vertebrate chordates differ from invertebrate chordates by the presence of the vertebral column.

<h3>Vertebrate vs invertebrate chordates</h3>

Chordates are of two groups - vertebrates and invertebrates.

The vertebrate chordates have vertebral columns which developed from the notochord.

The invertebrate chordates, even though possess notochords at some points in their life, do not have vertebral columns.

Vertebrate chordates include fishes, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Invertebrate chordates include the tunicates and the lancelets.
