Answer:
3 (Cells carry out the respiration process)
Explanation:
Cellular respiration is a metabolic (catabolic) process common to all living things as all living things need energy for their life processes.
Respiration is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by breaking down organic molecules in presence or absence of oxygen (aerobic or anaerobic) resulting in the release of Carbondioxide (CO2), water and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Food molecules (containing stored energy in their chemical bonds) absorbed after digestion are broken down and the energy within their molecules are freed. This freed energy in form of ATP, is used to power the organism's movement and physiological functions.
Note that, ATP is an energy carrying molecule and a usable form of energy by cells. This is so because ATP releases energy quickly. Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate (Pi) is removed to become ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which is a low energy molecule.
Aerobic cellular respiration consists of Glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation. A total of 38 ATP molecules is produced in the cytosol of prokaryotes while a total of 36 ATP molecules is produced in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.
Answer: it is where cellular respiration occurs
Explanation:
There is quite a lot, but the fact that both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNAis what I would call "key" evidence. That is, these organelles are not "manufactured" by the cell (i.e., there are no "genes for mitochondria" in eukaryote genomes): like their ancestral bacteria, they reproduce by binary fission.

Answer:
Protein B has a higher affinity for ligand C than protein A
Explanation:
Binding affinity is a measure of the strength of the bonds or interactions between a single biomolecule or receptor to its ligand. A ligand is usually a small molecule that binds to a specific receptor.
The receptor is usually a large molecule that contains a specific site for the binding of ligand.
Binding affinity is usually measured by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). The equilibrium dissociation constant KD is a ratio of the dissociation and the association of ligand to the receptor. The value of KD is used to evaluate and compare the strengths of bimolecular interactions. The larger the KD value, the more weakly the target molecule and ligand are attracted to and bind to one another.
The higher the dissociation constant (KD), the weaker the affinity is between the interacting molecules, whereas, the smaller the KD value, the greater the binding affinity of the ligand for its target.
Protein B has a KD value of 10⁻⁹ M while Protein A has a KD of 10⁻⁶ M.
Ration of KD of protein B to protein A = 10⁻⁹ M/10⁻⁶ M = 10⁻³
Therefore, protein B has a KD value which is 1000 times smaller than the KD of protein A.
Prokaryotes are the Earth`s firs living things. This are the simplest life forms exhibiting ( showing ) cellular structures.
They exist in 2 major forms:
- Eubacteria ( most of the common bacteria that are found everywhere ),
- Archaebacteria ( ancient bacteria that live in very extreme conditions ).
Answer: Prokaryotes.
