⭐️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 are your current perceptions of the flu vaccine? Do you think these recommendations are appropriate? Explain your reasoning
Natasha_Volkova [10]
The flu vaccine is a medicinal shot which is supposed to prevent/ and or decrease your chances of getting the flu. It is supposedly working as stated by the producers of this vaccine however many children have been given this vaccine and it dosen`t work. The recommendations are appropriate  as it is better to be safe than sorry. However there are some negative effects. For example a person would get a cold afterwards and this of course is sickness. Overall, I recommend not highly, but as i stated earlier it is better to be safe than sorry.

During which stage of complete cellular respiration is most of the atp produced?
Valentin [98]
Cellular respiration uses energy in glucose to make ATP. Aerobic (“oxygen-using”) respirationoccurs in three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport. In glycolysis, glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvate.
