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.

Answer: Hey again!

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elemental form of carbon means the pure form of carbon, that is, carbon is present in its natural form.

An elemental form also means that the pure atoms are not attached to any other atom.

For example, diamond is an allotrope of carbon in which there are only carbon atoms attached to each other and no other atom is present in it.

Whereas methane has carbon and hydrogen atoms attached to each other therefore, it is not an elemental carbon. And proteins include different atoms attached to each other.

Thus, we can conclude that diamond is an example of elemental carbon.

In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists studied eight ponds in Florida: four that were populated by a species of
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: the rate of pollination of flower, in a field next to a pond with no fish, will DECREASE.

Explanation:

POLLINATION is defined as the process by which flowering plants, through the aid of external agents such as insects,wind, water and other animals, are able to transfer pollen grains from an anther to a receptive stigma. Insects are the most common pollinators. They visit flowers to obtain nectar and pollen as source of food. Flowers use various features, such as colour and scent, to attract and guide insects to the food source within them. In the process of reaching their source of food, insects bring about pollination.

From the study conducted by scientist in Florida, eight(8) ponds where subjected to the the study. The first four (4) ponds had species of fishes that fed on dragonflies and dragonfly larvae, hence the reason for a decrease in the population of the dragon flies in the area around it. While the remaining four (4) ponds had NO fish and the area around it is populated with dragonflies and dragonfly larvae. This is so because of the absence of fish.

It was then noted that the dragon lies fed of the insect pollinators such as the bees and butterflies. Since these dragonflies and its larvae are abundant in the field which is close to the pond with no fish, they will grossly depend on the insect pollinators as their source of food thereby decreasing the rate of pollination in the field next to the pond with no fish.

Describe the following types of assisted reproductive technology:
Kryger [21]

Conventional in vitro fertilization refers to the development of embryos in the laboratory conditions, intracytoplasmic sperm injection refers to the add of sperm cytoplasm to the egg cell, laser-assisted hatching helps the egg cell to reach the zona pellucida while artificial insemination helps to development of a zygote by artificial fertilization.

<h3>What does assisted reproductive technology mean?</h3>

The medical term assisted reproductive technology makes reference to all methods and strategies aimed at enhancing or helping the development of the zygote or embryo after fertilization, which may be in vitro fertilization (laboratory conditions) or in vivo conditions into the reproductive system.

Therefore, with this data, we can see that assisted reproductive technologies refer to a broad differential category of strategies and methods aimed at helping with the development of zygotes and embryos in the reproductive system of a woman or in the lab conditions.

What is the maximum mass of S8 that can be produced by combining 77.0 g of each reactant?
g100num [7]
The balanced equation is
<span>8SO2 + 16H2S ----> 3S8 + 16H2O
</span>so
77g SO2 / 64g/mole = 1.203moles  of SO2 
<span>77g H2S / 34g/mole = 2.26moles  of H2S 
</span>now 

<span>1.203 moles SO2 yields 3/8x amount that is = 0.456moles  of S8 
</span>so
<span>2.06moles H2S yields 3/16x amount = 0.386moles of S8 
</span>hence
H2S = produce  only 0.386moles  of S8 = 98.98g S8
