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.

"The presence of hair, composed of the protein keratin, is one of the most obvious characteristics of mammals. Although it is not very extensive or obvious on some species (such as whales), hair has many important functions for most mammals. Mammals are endothermic, and hair traps a boundary layer of air close to the body, retaining heat generated by metabolic activity. Along with insulation, hair can serve as a sensory mechanism via specialized hairs called vibrissae, better known as whiskers. Vibrissae attach to nerves that transmit information about tactile vibration produced by sound sensation, which is particularly useful to nocturnal or burrowing mammals. Hair can also provide protective coloration or be part of social signaling, such as when an animal’s hair stands “on end” to warn enemies, or possibly to make the mammal “look bigger” to predators.

Unlike the skin of birds, the integument (skin) of mammals, includes a number of different types of secretory glands. Sebaceous glands produce a lipid mixture called sebum that is secreted onto the hair and skin, providing water resistance and lubrication for hair. Sebaceous glands are located over most of the body. Eccrine glands produce sweat, or perspiration, which is mainly composed of water, but also contains metabolic waste products, and sometimes compounds with antibiotic activity. In most mammals, eccrine glands are limited to certain areas of the body, and some mammals do not possess them at all. However, in primates, especially humans, sweat glands are located over most of the body surface and figure prominently in regulating the body temperature through evaporative cooling. Apocrine glands, or scent glands, secrete substances that are used for chemical communication, such as in skunks. Mammary glands produce milk that is used to feed newborns. In both monotremes and eutherians, both males and females possess mammary glands, while in marsupials, mammary glands have been found only in some opossums. Mammary glands likely are modified sebaceous or eccrine glands, but their evolutionary origin is not entirely clear.

The skeletal system of mammals possesses many unique features. The lower jaw of mammals consists of only one bone, the dentary, and the jaw hinge connects the dentary to the squamosal (flat) part of the temporal bone in the skull. The jaws of other vertebrates are composed of several bones, including the quadrate bone at the back of the skull and the articular bone at the back of the jaw, with the jaw connected between the quadrate and articular bones. In the ear of other vertebrates, vibrations are transmitted to the inner ear by a single bone, the stapes. In mammals, the quadrate and articular bones have moved into the middle ear ((Figure)). The malleus is derived from the articular bone, whereas the incus originated from the quadrate bone. This arrangement of jaw and ear bones aids in distinguishing fossil mammals from fossils of other synapsids.

Mammals, like birds, possess a four-chambered heart; however, the hearts of birds and mammals are an example of convergent evolution, since mammals clearly arose independently from different groups of tetrapod ancestors. Mammals also have a specialized group of cardiac cells (fibers) located in the walls of their right atrium called the sinoatrial node, or pacemaker, which determines the rate at which the heart beats. Mammalian erythrocytes (red blood cells) do not have nuclei, whereas the erythrocytes of other vertebrates are nucleated. "

Which two organs of a plant interact to cause seedlings to grow upward
Pie

There's tropism and stimulus, for starters. Gravity, light, and touch can all be used as stimuli. So it is debatable... If the plant is reaching upwards towards a window that is above it... It would then be light, and the plant's response would be to reach upward.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest?
