Answer:

While 4 molecules of ATP are produced in total, 2 were used to convert glucose to the reactive fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

Thus, 4 ATP- 2ATP= 2ATP

Explanation:

In the cytoplasm, cellular respiration starts, where glucose is broken down for energy production. in the presence of oxygen, energy is produced through aerobic respiration, while in an oxygen-deprived environment, anaerobic respiration can be carried out.

Glucose is a relatively stable molecule, thus in order for the pyruvate-producing reaction to occur, the molecule undergoes phosphorylation through the addition of high energy phosphate groups to drive the reaction forward.

Pyruvate is generated through glycolysis in the cytoplasm-it is oxidized to form acetyl CoA in aeroboc respration also used in fermentation (anaerobic respiration) as an electron acceptor.

natima [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "Longer beaks allow the birds to better access seeds in bird feeders".

Explanation:

Since climate change makes more difficult for "Parus major" birds to feed from its primary source of food in gardens, the birds are adapting to access their second source of food, which is the bird feeder. Longer beaks allow the birds to better access seeds in bird feeders, therefore, the birds are developing longer beaks in order to adapt to their new conditions.
