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.

Can someone help me on those questions

Inessa05 [86]

1). A good example for mutualism is People and plants. We provide plants Carbon dioxide. Plants provide us Oxygen
2).Biome is where you have your tundras, Rain forests, Deserts, etc. then you have to give 3 characteristics like temperature, precipitation levels, soil type, etc.
I will have to get to question 3 later since im in class but ill give you the answer to that one. its easy

How do you think the rock layers and fossils found in Red Rock Canyon can provide evidence for Earth's geologic history?

Bogdan [553]

Answer and Explanation:

Red Rock Canyon is an area of universal geologic interest, located a few miles west of Las Vegas within the Mojave Desert. Many experienced geologists visit the Red Rock; they are surprised by the vivid colors of rocks, natural beauty, and rock formations. A visual display takes million years to make the masterpiece known as the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area. About 500 million years ago, Red Rock Canyon was found at the bottom of an ocean basin. Limestone accumulated in this ocean basin, which contains the fossils of sea life. The tracks of two-footed meat-eating dinosaurs have been found in the Aztec Sandstone. The tracks of small animals such as spiders, scorpions, early mammals, and proto-mammals were also found. The fossils and rock layers that are found in Red Rock Canyon provide evidence for Earth’s geologic history. Paleontologists are still searching these areas.
