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

How do plasma cells form, and how do they help fight pathogens
xz_007 [3.2K]
<span>Plasma cells, they are also called  plasma B cells,  or effector B cells, are white blood cells that secrete large volumes of antibodies. They are transported by the blood plasma and the lymphatic system. Plasma cells originate in the bone marrow; B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules closely modeled after the receptors of the precursor B cell. Once released into the blood and lymph,</span>

Which of the following is correct? Which of the following is correct? Most of the ATP are produced by substrate-level phosphoryl
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Each FADH2 yields about 1.5 ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Most of the ATP molecules are produced by oxidative phosphorylation, not by substrate-level phosphorylation. During glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules per glucose are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation. Similarly, Kreb's cycle also yields 2 ATP per glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation.

For each pair of electrons transferred to O2 from FADH2 via electron transport chain, 4 and 2 protons are pumped from matrix towards the intermembrane space by complex III and complex IV respectively. It generates the proton concentration gradient required to drive the synthesis of 1.5 ATP molecules. Since oxidation of FADH2 is coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP, the process is called oxidative phosphorylation.

what loop prepares the body for change. This is in contrast to a feedback loop that a. brings a parameter back into the set rang
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - negative feedback loop.

Explanation:

A negative feedback loop takes place in the biology when the end product of a particular reaction leads to decrease in the reaction. A negative feedback loop makes system to bring the homeostasis.

Negative feedback loops takes place inside the body of an individual to decrease the function of a particular reaction, it prepared the body for the change that occur in the atmosphere such as pH, temperature and other.

Thus, the correct answer is - negative feedback loop.
