Ghella [55]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The chemical reaction that represents the process of aerobic cell respiration is oxygen + glucose → water + carbon dioxide + energy

Explanation:

Cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and consists of a series of chemical reactions in which energy in the form of ATP molecules is obtained from a glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen.

<u>Glucose is the main energetic substrate</u> to be able to synthesize energy in the form of ATP, through oxidative phosphorylation. At the end of the process ATP is obtained as products, and as waste compounds water and carbon dioxide, which can be schematized in the following chemical reaction:

              <em>              C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂ →  6H₂O  +  6CO₂ + ATP ↑</em>

<em>                Glucose + Oxygen → Water + Carbon dioxide + Energy ↑</em>

This reaction summarizes what happens in aerobic cellular breathing, which is necessary to synthesize energy for cellular functions.

The other reactions:

  • <em>oxygen + water </em><em>→</em><em> glucose + lactose </em>
  • <em>glucose + lactose </em><em>→</em><em> oxygen + water </em>
  • <em>water + carbon dioxide + energy </em><em>→</em><em> oxygen + glucose</em>

<em>do not represent the components or the order of the reactions that occur in aerobic cell respiration</em>

What is the term for the nucleotide sequences that are removed during mrna processing?
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is: introns

Processing of mRNA is process that occurs only in eukaryotic cells. After the transcription, newly formed mRNA molecule is called and it must be processed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Processing includes:

• Addition of a 5' cap to the beginning of the RNA

• Polyadenilation- addition of a poly-A tail (tail of A nucleotides) to the end of the RNA

• Splicing- removal of introns and linking the exons

After these steps mRNA is mature and used for the further steps (e.g. translation).

Sometimes some genes are alternatively spliced.

The large surface area in the gut directly facilitates _____.
Flura [38]

Answer:

B. Absorption

Explanation:

  • Absorption is a process that takes place in the small intestines or ileum of the GI tract, in which simple and soluble nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream.
  • Absorption is enhanced by several adaptations of the gut such as large surface area of the gut which directly facilitates absorption of nutrients.
  • Presence of villi and microvilli in the gut increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients in the ileum.
