Define light year, and explain how and why light years are used to measure distance in the universe

Biology
1 answer:
Paha777 [63]3 years ago
6 0

A light-year is the distance that light travels in empty space in one year. Since the speed of light is about 300,000 km per second (about 186,000 miles per second), then a light year is about 10 trillion kilometers (about 6 trillion miles).

The light year is used in astronomy because the universe is huge. Space objects such as stars and galaxies may be hundreds, thousands or millions of light years away.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The correct option is C. The cell followed Kreb's pathway.

Explanation:

Krebs cycle can be described as a metabolic pathway for the release of energy during the process of aerobic respiration. The Kreb's cycle constitutes a series of oxidation reactions through which pyruvate is converted into carbon dioxide. About 15 moles of ATP is released as a result of Kreb's cycle. The reactions of the Kreb's cycle take place mostly in the mitochondria. The Kreb's cycle is commonly named as the Citric Acid Cycle.
