Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:A) Oxygen would no longer be reduced to water. B) No ATP would be made during transport of electrons down the respiratory chain. C) Mitochondria would show a burst of increased ATP synthesis. D) Glycolysis would stop. E) Mitochondria would switch from glycolysis to fermentation.The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

The main mechanism of ATP production takes place in our mitochondria, which are cellular organelles, and this occurs when molecules of coenzymes or reduced prosthetic groups, coming from the process of catabolism of nutrients, are oxidized with molecular oxygen (which becomes in water), leading to the production of ATP. DNP works by increasing heat production in cells through a process known as decoupling. Dinitrophenol is an ionphoric compound that cuts mitochondrial ATP production circuits. This cessation of ATP production through the mitochondria leads to an increase in metabolic rate (as the substrate is used at a higher rate so that cytosolic ATP can sustain life) and subsequent weight loss.

prisoha [69]

Answer: A) Non shared environmental influences

Explanation: Non shared environment influences are any aspects of the environment and any influences that can be different for different children within the same family. In this case , Jack was encouraged to run because he is a boy thereby enabling him to be able to run up the hill much faster than Jill despite the fact that they are both children in the same family.

Use the models that you created in Lesson 2, Lab 1 to help you answer the following question.
masha68 [24]
The answer is <span>B. A smaller cell has more surface area than volume.

</span>This is simple mathematics. Let's imagine that cell is spherical.
Now, we have two spheres: one big (with radius r = 5 cm) and one small (with radius r = 2 cm).
The formula for the surface area of the sphere (A) is A = 4 π r².
The formula for the volume of the square is 4/3 π r³.

Now, let's compare two spheres:

Small sphere:                                                  Big sphere:
r = 2 cm                                                            r = 5 cm
A = 4 π 2² = 50.3 cm²                                      A = 4 π 5² = 314.2 cm²<span>
V = 4/3 </span>π 2³ = 33.5 cm³                                   V = 4/3 π 5 ³ = <span>523.6 cm³ 

According to the calculation, the smaller sphere will have more surface area than volume. This can be extrapolated to all shapes, not only spheres, so the </span><span>smaller cell has more surface area than volume.</span>
