Answer:

The two compounds that correspond to waste products of cellular respiration are H₂O and CO₂.

Explanation:

The cellular metabolic waste products, specifically from cellular respiration are water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), from the oxidation of glucose into energy.

The process of cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and consists of a series of chemical reactions where, from a glucose molecule, energy is obtained in the form of ATP molecules.

Obtaining H₂O and CO₂ from glucose can be summarized with the schematic reaction:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂

This summary indicates that a glucose molecule, when oxidized, produces as waste 6 molecules of water and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide. To reach this process all the reactions of the oxidative phosphorylation occur and 24 molecules of ATP are obtained for each molecule of glucose.

For the other options it is important to mention that:

C₆H₁₂O₆ is the substrate from which cellular respiration takes place.
ATP is the final product of cellular respiration, translated into energy to be used by the cell.

Sort the mutations based on whether their effects are harmful, beneficial, or neutral to the organisms that experience them. a m

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

A mutation is generally referred to as certain alternations in the gene whether it may be DNA sequences, which may be beneficial, harmful or of no significance to the mutant gene bearing organisms.

Explanation:

A mutation that increases the ability to store moisture in a dry environment is obviously beneficial. Because it prevents dehydration and maintains normal functioning in spite of adverse conditions.
A color mutation that decreases a bird's chances of sexual selection is beneficial in the sense that it prevent certain abnormalities in offspring like sexual dimorphism. Also sexual selection often proves to be a threat to the survival of the organisms as per handicap principle.
A mutation in non coding region of DNA is harmful, as it is often observed to facilitate expression of wrong proteins at inappropriate places.
A mutation in the that does not changes protein synthesis increased white pigmentation on a prey animal in snowy environment as it had prevented adaption of the prey and hence harmful for survival of it.
A mutation decreasing plant's height in competition to light, makes them less exposed to sun energy important for photosynthesis and hence it is harmful for the plant.

Alecsey [184]

Answer: One consequence of neutralizing the pH in the intestine is that ENZYMES THAT CATALYZE THE HYDROLYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATES ARE ACTIVE.

Explanation: During digestion, partially digested food particles are transported from the stomach to the first part of the small intestines, that is, the duodenum. The food particles that are coming from the stomach are acidic due to the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This acidity has to be removed when the food particles get into the duodenum, this is because the enzymes that are needed to break down carbohydrates in the duodenum can not work in acidic medium. Thus, in order for the pancreatic amlayse enzyme to become active and to complete the break down of carbohydrate in the duodenum, the secretin hormone has to stimulate the release of bicarbonate that will neutralize the acidic partially digested food particles from the stomach.
