Explanation:

Glycolysis is the stage where glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvates (3 carbon compounds). This occurs in the cytoplasm and produces 2 ATP molecules. The pyruvates enters the mitochondria and enters the link reactions where it combines with co enzyme A (CoA). Decarboxylation ( removal of CO2) and dehydrogenation (removal of H) occurs here. Since CO2 is removed from the pyruvate it means a carbon is removed. This produces a 2 carbon compounds called acetyl. The acetyl compound is what combines with the CoA to form a compound called acetylCoA. This compound then enters the Krebs cycle.

The CoA co enzyme leaves and the acetyl reacts with a four carbon compound called oxaloacetate. This then forms a 6 carbon compound compound called citrate. A series of dehydrogenation and decarboxylation reactions occur to convert the 6 carbon compound back to oxalaoactate( the 4 carbon sugar). An ATP molecule is formed during one spin of the Krebs cycle.

The electron transport chain is where the reduced NAD (formed from dehydrogenation in glycolyisis, the link reactions and Krebs cycle) and Reduced FAD ( formed from dehydrogenation in the krebs cycle). molecules pass along a series of electrom carriers where they release energy that will be used to make ATP. Oxygen is the last electron carriers

I tried to sum it up as best as possible. If you want in detail explanations of each then I can explain it also.

How do plants and snails affect the CO2 and O2 gases in an aquatic environment

frez [133]

Answer:

Water plants will absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and some plants will also absorb ammonia (as a source of nitrogen for growth). Aquatic animals like fish and snails absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide directly into water through specialized structures like gills.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

B and C are correct

Explanation:

Gelatin also referred to as hydrolyzed collagen.collagen is a structural protein in animal and undergoes hydrolysis to form gelatin.

Gelatin appears as a translucent, colorless and flavorless food ingredient used as gelling agents in food, drugs and cosmetics.

When dry it is bristle and becomes gummy when moist.

Gummy bears are known for their chewiness and gelatin gives them the chewiness.

Relate the structure of water to its ability to act like a solvent

Sidana [21]

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. This is important to every living thing on earth.

I hope that’s help:)
