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.

Photosynthesis is an autotrophic or heterotropic nutirion

Korolek [52]

Green plants are autotrophic and synthesize or make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. They do this with the help of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. ... Their corresponding modes of nutrition are known as the autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition.

You see an entire pond, with the same plant across most of it. The plant seems to be surviving very well. Which adaptation does

faust18 [17]

Answer: One advantage is, well, the water. There’s plenty of it and it’s all around. Therefore, most aquatic plants do not need adaptations for absorbing, transporting, and conserving water. They can save energy and matter by not growing extensive root systems, vascular tissues, or thick cuticles on leaves. Support is also less of a problem because of the buoyancy of water. As a result, adaptations such as strong woody stems and deep anchoring roots are not necessary for most aquatic plants.

Who was Rosalind Franklin?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Rosalind Elsie Franklin was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer who made contributions to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite. Although her works on coal and viruses were appreciated in her lifetime, her contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA were largely recognised posthumously. Born to a prominent British Jewish family, Franklin was educated at a private day school at Norland Place in West London.

Discuss ways in which the body's metabolism adapts to conditions of fasting/starvation. How do these adaptations affect the rate

shusha [124]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fasting is process of voluntary abstinence from food whereas, starvation is a complete deprivation of food. The starving and fasting individual looses weight affected by the different rates of loss of body weight on the basis of the body parts. The least essential tissues loose weight considerable at a faster rate later on the tissues and organs consisting of high fat content loose weight at a slow rate.
