Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

All living organisms such as plants and animals require energy to function properly (life activities). Thus, the organelle where energy from nutrients is released is generally referred to as mitochondria. Animals retrieve energy using mitochondria to do cellular respiration because they typically act like a digestive system by taking in nutrients, breaking them down and obtaining energy rich molecules for cell-life activities.

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in cells so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). These intermediary products are produced at the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stage.

Basically, mitochondria is one of the cell organelles found in all living organisms and it is known as the powerhouse. Therefore, mitochondria provides all the energy required in the cell by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions; breaking down of glucose into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) used for providing energy for cellular activities in the body of living organisms.

Hence, during respiration, most ATP is formed as a direct result of the net movement of protons down a concentration gradient but not potassium against a concentration gradient potassium.

Which of the following is an enzyme required by the process of rephosphory,to create ATP? A) AD Pase B)AT Pase C)Polymerase D)AT
iren [92.7K]

ATPase is the enzyme which is required to create ATP and is denoted as option B.

<h3>What is ATPase?</h3>

This type of enzyme is found in the mitochondrion and catalyzes the formation of ATP which provides energy to cells.

The ATP which is referred to as adenosine triphosphate is formed from the molecules known as ADP and inorganic phosphate which are present in the body cells. This ensures that the daily energy needs of the body are met.

18. Which types of mutations, positive, negative or neutral, are most likely to be seen in offspring
Temka [501]
<h2>The following scenarios state whether the mutation is likely to be passed on to the offspring of the organism or not: </h2><h2> </h2>
  • a. A single bacteria cell contains a positive mutation in its DNA - The mutation is likely to pass as it is a unicellular organism with the cell itself containing the positive mutation.

  • b. A skin cell on a cat contains a positive mutation in its DNA - The mutation is not likely to pass as it is the skin cell.

  • C. A sperm cell in a whale contains a positive mutation in its DNA - The mutation is likely to pass as it is in the sperm.

What is true of the Cambrian explosion? What is true of the Cambrian explosion? There are fossils of animals in geological strat
larisa86 [58]
I had this question when I took a biology class cuz I chose to study a lot on paleontology :)

It’s that there’s fossils of animals in geological strata that are older than the Cambrian explosion.

Some fossils from the ediacaran period have been discovered in layers aged to the Cambrian
