The classical point of view is that, during mitochondrial respiration, three ATP molecules can be generated from one molecule of

NADH H and only two from FADH2. When factoring in the cytosolic NADH H , the maximum number of molecules of ATP per glucose generated by the electron transport system is _____.

Answer:

38

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, the maximum production of ATP molecules generated per glucose molecule during cellular respiration is 38, i.e., 2 ATP molecules from glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules from the Krebs cycle, and 34 ATP molecules from the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). <em>In vivo</em> (i.e., in the cell), this number is not reached because there is an energy cost associated with the movement of pyruvate (CH3COCOO−) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) into the mitochondrial matrix, thereby the predicted yield is approximately 30 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. In aerobic bacteria, aerobic respiration of glucose occurs in the cytoplasm (since bacteria do not contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria), and thereby, in this case, it is expected that aerobic respiration using glucose yields 38 ATP per glucose molecule.

Meaning of alleles, dominant, heterozygous, homozygous, and recessive?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

alleles-one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.

dominant- The dominant allele of the gene is inherently dominant,so it hides the presence of the recessive allele

heterozygous-having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.

homozygous-a particular gene that has identical alleles on both homologous chromosomes

recessive-A recessive gene is a gene that can be masked by a dominant gene

Which layer of skin contains living cells, is vascularized, and lies directly above the hypodermis?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Dermis.

Explanation:

The skin is the outer most protective layer that differ in structure and composition of the vertebrates. The main function of skin is the regualtion, sensation and protection of the organism.

The skin is divided into different layer : epidermis, basement membrane dermis,  and subcutaneous tissue. Only the dermis layer contains the living cells that are highly vascularized and present beneath the hypodermis. Dermis layer protect the body from the stress and strain.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

How does cancer relate to the cell cycle??
AlekseyPX
Cancer is a mutation that occurs during the cell cycle, usually when it develops and grows it means the mutation was able to go through the cycle undetected at checkpoints so the cell was not destroyed by the lysosomes.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continental drift?
Ivan

The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.


Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.
