Answer:

Cellular Respiration

As you all know, cellular respiration is one of the, if not the, most important process that goes on in our bodies and other animals' bodies today. Cellular respiration is the process that is opposite from photosynthesis. While plants are taking in carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen, cellular respiration uses the oxygen and sugar o make carbon dioxide, water and 36 ATP. The three "mini processes" that take place during cellular respiration are glycolysis, oxidative respiration, and the electron transport chain. Fermentation also occurs in some cases where there is no oxygen present.

Glycolysis is the first stage in cellular respiration. It starts with a six-carbon glucose. Then, two ATP come and are converted to two ADP and two phosphates. Those same phosphates are added to the glucose to make a six-carbon glucose phosphate. That is then divided into two 3-carbon sugar phosphates. ADP comes and leaves charged as ATP because of the phosphate. Without the phosphates the process finishes with two 3-carbon piruvates.

If there is no oxygen present after glycolysis, then the next process is fermentation. Fermentation takes the 3-carbon piruvates from glycolysis and adds and electron to them. The result is lactic acid in animals and ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide from plants, yeast and fungi. Oxygen can then be added back to the lactic acid to form piruvate again.

After glycolysis or after the oxygen is added back to lactic acid from fermentation, the oxidative respiration, also known as the Krebs cycle, takes place. The 3-carbon piruvates are converted to acetyl-CoA. That is then turned into a 6-carbon citrate. After an electron is added to NAD+ to turn it into NADH, a 5-carbon molecule is formed. Then it turns into a 4-carbon molecule which is then recycled.

The electron transport chain is occurring the whole time that cellular respiration is taking place. It starts with a NADH and a FADH2. Electrons and hydrogen ions are added until the final results are NAD and 2H which yields 32ATP and turns O2 into H2O.

Over all there is 2ATP made during glycolysis, 2ATP made during Krebs cycle, and 32ATP made during the electron transport chain for a grand total of 36ATP!!! After all these products are made they are then converted back by photosynthesis and the cycle goes on and on and on.

uysha [10]

Answer:

1. B

2. A

Explanation:

According to this question, a student is trying to decide which kind of bottle to purchase, however, he is considering the kind that will have lesser negative impact on the environment and society. The plastic bottle is easy to use due to their convenience and light-weight but they are DISPOSABLE. On the other hand, metal bottles are reusable and keeps water longer.

In accordance to the student's heart for the sustainability of the environment, he should choose the METAL BOTTLE because the metal bottle is RECYCLABLE i.e. can be reused. Recycling of most materials has been encouraged in order to curb the spread of non-biodegradable materials like plastic that can serve as pollutants to the environment.

Based on the data, what is the optimal amount of new fertilizer to maximize corn output?
rewona [7]

Answer:

8 or B

Explanation:

I think you are intended to answer 8, but would be very careful with this. The weather could have changed. There is a dramatic drop from 30 to 5 really requires careful study.

Fertilizer can be cumulative. That means that what you put on before could still be in the soil. Fertilizer then acts as a kind of poison. Some farmers grow crops that don't require fertilizer or that the use is minimal.  A crop that is an exception is something like Canola. It requires a great deal of fertilizer and it depletes the soil rather quickly. People grow it because it brings in a great deal of money per bushel and the soil returns many bushels per acre. But the soil depletes in nutrients rather quickly.
