Answer: In this process, the energy released in form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used to POWER BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is the process by which living organisms breaks down glucose molecule to release energy. Oxygen is used for this process that's why the name aerobic.

Aerobic respiration releases energy within the bonds of glucose step by step in an enzyme controlled reaction. The stages of these processes includes:

--> Glycolysis: In this stage, glucose molecules are split to produce two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH (another energy carrying molecule).

--> Krebs Cycle: this is the second stage which occurs in the mitochondria of cells. The 2 ATP molecules generated from glycolysis is used to produce two more ATP, 8 more NADH and 2 molecules of FADH. This makes it a total of 16 energy molecules ( including 2 molecules of ATP from glycolysis).

--> Electron transport chain: this is the last stage of aerobic respiration which takes part at the inner member of the mitochondria. Electrons are transported from molecule to molecule down an electron-transport chain. Some of the energy from the electrons ( NADH and FADH from kreb cycle) is used to pump hydrogen ions across the membrane, creating an electrochemical gradient that drives the synthesis of many more molecules of ATP. As a result 32 more ATP are generated.

In conclusion, a total of up to 36 molecules of ATP from just one molecule of glucose in the process of aerobic respiration which are used to power biological processes.

Mars had an orbital period of 1.88 years. In two or more complete sentences,explain how to calculate the average distance from m
Vanyuwa [196]
This is an interesting problem involving astronomy, in fact, simple physics.
Let r=distance of sun to mars, in metres

<span>Mars had an orbital period of 1.88 years.
=>
tangential velocity, v, of the planet, in m/s is
v=\frac{2\pi{r}}{T}
</span>=\frac{2\pi{r}}{1.88*365.25*86400} m/s, accounting for leap years
=3.371*10^{-8}\pi{r}   m/s

The centripetal force, Fc, generated is
Fc=\frac{mv^2}{r}   
        where m=mass of mars = 6.39*10^(24) kg
=\frac{mv^2}{r}
=\frac{6.39*10^{24}v^2}{r}
=7.26168*10^9\pi^2r

The gravitation pull from the sun, Fg, is given by
Fg=\frac{GMm}{r^2}
    where G=grav. const., =6.67408*10^(-11) m^3<span> kg^(</span>-1)<span> s^(</span>-2)
              M=mass of sun=1.989*10^(30) kg
=\frac{6.67408*10^{-11}1.989*10^{30}6.39*10^{24}}{r^2}
=\frac{8.4826*10^44}{r^2}

Since the radial distance is in equilibrium, the average distance, r can be found by equation Fc=Fg and solving for r:
Fc=Fg
=>
7.26168*10^9\pi^2r=\frac{8.4826*10^44}{r^2}
Solving for the real root:
r^3=\frac{8.48256*10^44}{7.26168*10^9*%pi^2}
=\frac{1.1681263*10^{35}}{\pi^2}
=2.279*10^11 m

Why does the enzyme pepsin (present in the stomach) denature in the intestine?
Art [367]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The enzyme pepsin that is present in the stomach denature in the intestine due to the alkaline environment of the intestine. This is because pepsin has an optimum pH that is very low which is ideal for the acidic conditions of the stomach.

What is an ecological system called that consists of all of its biotic and abiotic factors? A. Community B. Ecosystem C. Habitat
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: The correct answer is- B) Ecosystem.

Ecosystem can be described as a group of living organisms present in a particular area that are interacting with each other as well as the non living components of that environment.

In other words, it is the interaction between biotic ( living such as plants and animals) and abiotic ( non living such as temperature, air, water) components of an environment.

Example- Pond ecosystem, lake ecosystem.
