Anyone know about cellular respiration? Please help me label, 60 points!
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Mitochondria- glycolysis

ATP synthase- converts ADP to ATP

Inner membrane- electron transport chain

Matrix- krebs cycle

Explanation:

The mitochondria forms the fundamental site for glycolysis. The glucose is broken down enzymatically to produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP. The krebs cycle is the first stage of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. ATP synthase is an enzyme that generates ATP during the process of cellular respiration. ATP synthase forms ATP from ADP and an inorganic phosphate (Pi) through oxidative phosphorylation. The mitochondrial inner membrane is the site of the electron transport chain, an important step in aerobic respiration.  Energy obtained through the transfer of electrons down the ETC is used to pump protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space, creating an electrochemical proton gradient generating ATP.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Corbin recently found out that he has cancer, and he now strictly follows a treatment, diet, and exercise program that the doctor thinks will be helpful in keeping the cancer from spreading. These behaviors best illustrate <u>problem-focused</u> coping.

  • Managing and changing the stressor
  • Use if problem seems alterable
  • Confrontice coping
  • Planful problem solving

As Cobbin is strictly following treatment, diet and exercise programs that the doctor thinks will be helpful in keeping the cancer from spreading, Cobbin is showing <u>problem-focused coping.</u>

Shalnov [3]
<span>A. Stimulus is the term used to describe what causes organisms to react to their environment. Stimulus is something that can provoke organisms to respond to the world around them. For example, if you put your hand on the stove, the stove is going to be the stimulus for you to get burned and move your hand from it because it will be to hot - that is going to be your reaction to the stimulus. Camouflage is a type of hiding mechanism, parasites are organisms, and homeostasis is equilibrium in an organism. </span>
