Answer:
During the Krebs cycle, pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of reactions that give off energy. The high-energy electrons that are produced are picked up by a series of electron carriers, and the energy is used to convert ADP into ATP.

Explanation:
On piercing his foot, the pain receptors called nociceptors, found in the skin, are activated. Nociceptors exist at the nerve endings of the primary afferent neurons. Signals travel along the first order neurons which have cell bodies within the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord. In the dorsal root ganglia, the signals are taken up at the synapse with the second order neurons which have cell bodies in the nuclei of the cranial nerves within the brainstem. These neurons ascend cranially in the spinothalamic tract to the thalamus. The third order neurons lie within the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus. They terminate at the somatosensory cortex where the signals are being processed and returned as a sensation of pain.
B.) Atp and NADPH are produced from the calvin cycle
Answer:
- One spermatogonium produces 4 spermatids FALSE. One primary spermatocyte produces 4 spermatids.
Explanation:
Germ cells are diploid reproductive cells in charge of gamete production. Germ cells divide by mitosis and meiosis. Through mitosis, they originate more sexual cells, but through meiosis, they produce gametes -sperm and egg cells-. This process is known as gametogenesis.
Gametes´destiny is to merge during fecundation, and a new diploid cell called zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete cell and suffers successive mitosis to form the new organism.
Spermatogenesis is the process of production and maturation of sperm cells. Spermatogonia are the masculine diploid germ cells, carrying 46 chromosomes. These germ cells suffer mitosis to reproduce. Some of them stay as spermatogonia, and some others become primary spermatocytes, which are in charge of gamete production. Primary spermatocytes are also diploid cells, meaning that they still carry 46 chromosomes.
Each primary spermatocyte replicates its genetic material and then goes through meiosis I to produce two daughter haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes, each of them carrying 23 chromosomes. Each secondary spermatocyte will produce two other haploid daughter cells by meiosis II.
The total result from the two cellular divisions of each primary spermatocyte is four haploid daughter cells called spermatids.
During spermiogenesis, spermatids mature into spermatozoa or sperm cells. Each sperm cell characterizes by being composed of a head, midpiece, and tail.
- DNA replicates once, but cells divide twice TRUE
- The products are spermatozoa that each have a head, midpiece, and tail TRUE
- Spermatids containing 23 chromosomes (1n) are produced TRUE
- One spermatogonium produces 4 spermatids FALSE. One primary spermatocyte produces 4 spermatids.
- Genetically diverse spermatids are created TRUE
