Gwar [14]3 years ago

Explanation:

Isabella: 50-meter freestyle - inadequate oxygenation over a short period of time

  • anaerobic cellular respiration
  • incomplete breakdown of glucose waste products: lactic acid  
  • traps 2 molecules of ATP for each gram of glucose

Tyler: half marathon- adequate oxygenation of tissue over a long period of time

  • aerobic cellular respiration
  • complete breakdown of glucose
  • traps 36 molecules of ATP for each gram of glucose
  • waste products: H2O, CO2

Further Explanation:

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
  • The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

Within cells, aerobic respiration may not occur due to several factors:

  • - a lack of inorganic, final electron acceptors
  • -incomplete or lack of a complete electron transport system
  • -missing genes for enzymes within the Kreb's cycle

Thus, they utilize other means for the generation of energy in the form of ATP and to replenish NAD+, an oxidized form of NADH, the main electron carrier in glycolysis. Pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis- it is also used as an electron acceptor in a process called fermentation.

Which of these is least likely to be an adaptation of an organism to its environment?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "C. Cave fish have evolved degenerated eyes because they have no use for vision in dark, underwater caves."

Explanation:

All of these statements about organism adaptation to its environment are true, but the real reason why cave-fish are blind is not because there's no use for their eyes in the dark, but because being blind saves them energy, as using one's vision requires the activity of photoreceptive cells and neurons, and underground caves are lacking in both food and oxygen.

Which of the following characteristics do bryophytes share with algae
xxMikexx [17]
The correct answer is letter C.
Bryophytes have biflagellate gametes and cuticle. The cuticle serves as the covering of the soft tissue of the plant which provides protection and prevents damages on the walls of the plants. The biflagellate gametes develop also as a form of protection as well. These plants have an aquatic ancestry because of their dependence on water for reproduction and survival.
