How does cellular respiration demonstrate the conservation of mass?

Biology

Nonamiya [84]3 years ago

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells obtain energy from glucose. It can be represented by a chemical reaction which, when balanced, obeys the Law of Conservation of Matter:

C6H1206 + 6O2 ---- 6CO2 + 6H2O

Th number of atoms of reactants equals the number of atoms of products:

six carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, 18 oxygen atoms

No atoms are created or destroyed in this process, they're just rearranged into different molecules.

We often hear the term "burn" to describe glucose being used by living things for energy. When a substance burns, matter is conserved. It might seem like the burned substance is completely consumed because the products, CO2 and water, are both produced in the gaseous form and are colorless and invisible. The French chemist Antoine Lavoisier was the first to show that mass is conserved in chemical reactions by carrying out combustion reactions in a closed system and capturing the gaseous products.

Answer:

Just like in photosynthesis, the total number of atoms of the starting elements of cellular respiration equals the number of atoms of the ending products.

Hope this helps! :D

Some example sentences:
I did not want to walk to school today, for it was raining outside.
Fanboy-for, I did not want to walk to school today-Independent clause 1, it was raining outside-Independent clause 2
All of these sentences follow the same structure:
I want to adopt a dog, but they are a lot of work.
I wanted to stay separated from the group, so my teacher let me stay by myself.
We can go to the movies, or we can go to the amusement park.
I want to get ice cream, and I want to get coffee.

Pretty much any sentence like this will work.
Hope this helps :)

The purple kernel is dominant over the yellow kernel and hence it has the genotype of homozygous dominant PP.

<h3>What is Genotype?</h3>

Genotype may be defined as the ultimate combination of alleles of genes that are selected for specific studies.

If it has some offspring with purple kernels and some with yellow, the genotypes of the two parents are heterozygous dominant for the purple kernel, i.e. Pp and Pp.

And when these two parents are crossed with each other, the genotypes are PP, Pp, Pp, and pp. While the genotypic ratio is 1:2:1 (PP: Pp: pp), but the phenotypic ratio is 3:1 (Purple: Yellow).

Therefore, it is well described above.

As discussed previously, the ABO locus in humans has three alleles, where IAand IBare co-dominant and i is recessive to each. Su
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

using the formula p² + 2pq + 2pr + q²+ 2qr + r² = 1 where p is IA allele is 0.35 and q is IB allele is 0.15.

Thus, the expected frequency of people with type AB blood in this population will be (2pq) = 2 x 0.35 x 0.15 = 0.105

b. The expected frequency of people with type A blood will be p² + 2pr = where r is found using the formular p + q + r = 1 = 1 - (p+q) = 1 - (0.35+0.15) = 0.5

Thus, we have the expected frequency of people with type A blood to be     (0.35² + 2x0.35x0.5) = 0.4725.

c.    <u> p² + 2pr</u> + <u>2pq </u>+ <u>q² + 2qr</u> +<u> r²</u>

       AA AO      AB      BB BO     OO

         1850       180        635      2335

frequency of IA- p = (1850 + 180/2) / 5000 = 0.388

frequency of IB- q = (635 + 180/2) / 5000 = 0.145

frequency of i- r = 2335/ 5000 = 0.467.

since r² = 2335, r = √2335 = 48.32

using the formula p + q + r = 1
