ANTONII [103]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Primordial organisms did not require oxygen for respiration as is the case with most organisms case today. These organisms were and are still mainly anaerobic. They main form of cellular respiration is glycolysis that does not utilize oxygen. Since other organisms evolved from the primordial cells, it is deduced that the early atmosphere was not mainly composed of oxygen but mainly carbon dioxide.

In today’s aerobic cells oxygen is utilized in the Krebs cycle as a proton acceptor making cellular respiration even more efficient in the production of energy. Remember that, utlimately, organisms evolve to fit into their environment.

siniylev [52]

all the thymine pairs with adenine, therefore there is the same number of adenine and thymine bases and the same percentage

so we have 28%thymine and 28% adenine

100-28-28=44% left

this 44% is guanine and cytosine. All of the guanine pairs with cytosine and all of the cytosine pairs with guanine so we have 44/2=22% cytosine and guanine

composition:

28%adenine

28%thymine

22%guanine

22%cytosine
