Answer:

They signify the multiples of ten for each unit.

Explanation:

  • A prefix is a word that precedes a basic unit to indicate the multiple or fraction of that basic unit.
  • We can assign multiple or subdivisions in the metric system to any unit by simply combining them with their prefix.
  • Some of the common prefixes that are sued in the metric system are kilo, centi, deca, hecto etc.
  • Each prefix has a different menaing assigned to it for example :
  • deci is one-tenth
  • centi is one-hundredth
  • milli is one-thousandth
  • deca is ten.
  • hecto is 100.
  • kilo is 1000.
  • Thus, the prefixes in the metric system are used to signify multiples of ten for each unit.

Choose all the true statements about the oxidative phosphorylation g
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Oxidative Phosphorylation  

The mitochondria is one of the double membrane organelles with specialized energy-producing functions, that is, reduced nucleotides to finally form the cellular energy currency that is ATP. The 5'-triphosphate adenosine molecule (ATP) is synthesized in the inner mitochondrial membrane as a subsequent step to the electron transport chain through oxidative phosphorylation. This process takes advantage of the flow of protons or proton motive force, detected by an electrochemical differential of H +, to produce ATP through the complex V of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Together with photosynthesis, it is one of the most important energy transduction processes in the biosphere.  

Oxidative phosphorylation: Synthesis of ATP  

The mitochondria, in its inner membrane, is the place of the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, | Mitochondrial electronic transport and oxidative phosphorylation are the mechanisms that aerobic organisms use to synthesize ATP from reduced organic molecules.

Considering that nearly 85 percent of corn crops are genetically engineered, which impact does genetically engineered corn have
atroni [7]
Genetically modified crops are genetically engineered such that a desired trait is enhanced or reproduced to appear in every offspring. Genetically engineered corn has been engineered to resist pests and herbicides; thus, we have more yield and many people especially in the low class society can afford. A disadvantage, yet is still a debate, is that genetically engineered crops such as corn, has toxic effects to internal organs such as our liver, a vital internal organ.
