Answer:

40000 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying,

P =  F/A................... Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, F = Force, A = Area.

From the question,

The force(F) exerted by the person's foot is thesame as it's weight.

F = W = mg............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the person, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = mg/A................ Equation 3

Given: m = 60 kg, g = 10 m/s², A = 150 cm² = (150/10000) m² = 0.015 m²

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (60×10)/0.015

P = 600/0.015

P = 40000 N/m²

How do high-energy electrons from glycolysis and the krebs cycle contribute to the formation of atp from adp in the electron tra
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer

Together with glycolysis, The Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain release about 36 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.The Krebs cycle uses the two molecules of pyruvic acid formed in glycolysis and yields high-energy molecules of NADH and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), as well as some ATP. The electron transport chain forms a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which drives the synthesis of ATP

</span><span>- It makes food for the adult plant. NO. The food of plants in made of green leaves that contain chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis.
- It allows for photosynthesis to occur. NO. The cones have nothing to do with photosynthesis but they are responsible for reproduction.
