⭐️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.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - True.

Explanation:

In a simplified drosophila or fruit fly genome, Each chromosome of the homologous pair of chromosomes has the genes for the body color, wing shape, antenna type, and eye color, and all are located on the same chromosome.

So on the basis of the explanation given above it is clear that in Drosophila or fruit flies it is true that Each chromosome has genes that control wing shape, body-color, antenna type, and eye color.

A student in your class suggests that when most people watch exciting sporting events on television,their pulse rates increase.w
stiv31 [10]
You would need data from a large number of people, best from a varied age and gender. For each person you would need pulse rate readings of the person at rest not watching television, watching an unexciting television program and watching an exciting sporting event on television. The pulse rates taken not watching television and watching an unexciting program serve as a control and comparison to eliminate the conjecture that watching any television causes pulse rate to increase. You would also have to be sure that each person is watching a sport that they consider exciting rather than one that you consider exciting, not everyone finds the same things exciting. The larger the body of data you accumulate, the more convincing your argument will be.
