Minchanka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

When cancer spreads, it keeps this same name. For example, if kidney cancer spreads to the lungs, it is still kidney cancer, not lung cancer. Lung cancer would be an example of a secondary tumor.

Suppose that a biologist states that the average height of undergraduate students at your university is 205 cm plus or minus a s
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

This means that the means height (which is all the sum of the height of all the students divided by their number ) is 205 cm. Standard deviation means how the height of the students deviates from this mean since students do vary in height and are not all the same height of 205 cm. Therefore, in this case, the amount of standard dispersion of the students' height is by 17 cm on either lower or higher side of the mean.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

22,000,000 23,735,000

23,735,000 25,843,000

25,843,000 28,183,000

Drag the numbers to put the following steps in the correct order.
deff fn [24]

Answer:

- In glycolysis, glucose is split into two pyruvate and makes some ATP

- The Krebs cycle produces ATP, NADH and CO2

- NADH gives electrons to the ETC

- As electrons move down the ETC, a H+ gradient is made

- H+ pass through the ATP synthase to make ATP

Explanation:

This question is describing the processes involved in cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the way through which living cells synthesize energy (ATP) by breaking down sugar. Cellular respiration involves three major steps: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain).

- Glycolysis is the process whereby glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid or pyruvate with the synthesis of net 2 ATP molecules.

- Kreb's cycle produces ATP, NADH and CO2.

- NADH is an electron carrier that donates electrons to the Electron transport chain (ETC).

- Electrons move down the ETC to produce a proton (H+) gradient

- The proton (H+) passes through an enzyme called ATP synthase to make ATP from ADP molecule.
