The answer to the 3rd question is that chromosomes are tightly coiled bundles of DNA and carry many genes. For the 4th question, asexual reproduction can occur by binary fission and creates exact genetic copies of a parent.

Sveta_85 [38]

<span>Warmer summertime temperatures in the northern hemisphere are due partly to the tilt of the earth's axis around the sun when it is at its lowest point. The northern hemisphere has usually shorter hours in the day and longer hours in the night that is why it always happen during the winter. Because the sun is a bit far away from these islands, people living in this area will expect colder atmosphere.

When a cell divides to make two new cells, it copies its DNA first. This is called DNA replication. Why do you think this is imp

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

DNA replication is important because without it, cell division could not occur. With DNA replication, the set of DNA of a cell can be duplicated and then each cell that results from division can have its own entire set of DNA, and cell division can theoretically continue indefinitely.

Cellular respiration map

nexus9112 [7]

Explanation:

Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate (through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

Further Explanation:

In all eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced.

Oxidative phosphorylation follows; this is a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm. 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)

The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.
