How do cells release energy from food in the presence of oxygen

Biology

⭐️Your body cells use the oxygen you breathe to get energy from the food you eat. This process is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar. ... When the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar, oxygen is used, carbon dioxide is produced, and energy is released.⭐️

Answer:

Cellular Respiration (Aerobic)

Explanation:

In the mitochondria, glucose(food) is broken down into into pyruvate and the electrons are harvested and then sent to the electron chain during glycolysis in the cytoplasm. Pyruvate in converted to Acetyl CoA and enters the Krebs Cycle in the mitochrondria, and produces NADH and ATP. NADH goes to the electron chain and releases electrons and turns into NAD+.  The electron transport system is embedded in the membrane, and this system creates a Hydrogen ion gradient. ATP synthase creates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, and is powered by the diffusion of the hydrogen ions. THe hydrogen ions combine with the electrons and an oxygen atom to form water. Without oxygen as the final acceptor, the mitochondria cannot produce ATP energy using the ATP synthase and is forced into anaerobic respiration. With oxygen, the mitochondria can perform normal aerobic respiration.

What technique is used to separate the different cell parts? Select one: a. all of the above b. microscopy c. cell fractionation
enot [183]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. cell fractionation

Explanation:

Cell fractionation is the technique which allows different cells part to be separated from each other on the basis of their density gradient by using a centrifuge.

In cell fractionation, first the cell wall and membrane of cells are broken by chemical, physical or mechanical method. Then the cell component can be separated by centrifuging them at different rpm.  

Components that have higher density can be found in the bottom and the light density can be found on top of the tube. Therefore the correct answer is c. cell fractionation.

In a step by step format, write about the process of the blood flow as it enters the heart until it leaves the heart.
egoroff_w [7]
Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poorblood from the body into the right atrium of the heart.i As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heartthrough the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs where it is oxygenated

How does blood flow through the heart step by step?

Blood from the body flows:

1. to the superior and inferior vena cava,
2. then to the right atrium.
3. through the tricuspid valve.
4. to the right ventricle.
5. through the pulmonic valve.
6. to the pulmonary artery.
7. to the lungs
