Answer:

The reason you eat is to ultimately create a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) so that your cells have the means to power themselves, and therefore you, along. And not incidentally, the reason you breathe is that oxygen is needed in order to get the maximal amount of cell energy from the precursors of the glucose molecules in that food.

The process human cells use to generate ATP is called cellular respiration. It results in the creation of 36 to 38 ATP per molecule of glucose. It consists of a series of stages, beginning in the cell cytoplasm and moving to the mitochondria, the "power plants" of eukaryotic cells. The two ATP-producing processes can be viewed as glycolysis (the anaerobic part) followed by aerobic respiration (the oxygen-requiring part).

I would say immigration only.

emigration would theoretically reduce the genetic variation as unique individuals leave, but immigration would bring unique traits into circulation in an ecosystem.

I'm not super great at biogy tho so this might not be right... :)

andre [41]

Each cell that are divided will have complete genetic information itself. So both of them will survive.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The sperm and the ovum fuse to form a zygote. This zygote then undergoes cleavage divisions to divide into many cells called morula. Now in the two celled stage, if the cells divide away from each other, it gives rise to monozygotic twins or identical twins.

Both the cell contains nucleus and chromosomes or DNA inside the nucleus. So both of them contains genetic information. Thus both of them survives and develops into two identical twins. This may develop into same amniotic sac or different amniotic sac.

What can be said about the polarity of water

Ierofanga [76]

Water's polarity can be responsible for many of it's properties including it's attractiveness to other molecules. Water molecules attract one another based on the attraction between the positive end of one water molecule and the negative end of the other. Also the unequal sharing of electrons gives the molecules a slight negative charge near it's oxygen atom and a slight positive charge in it's hydrogen molecule.
