<span>A: food chain
</span><span>In many functions of a living organism, it cannot make its own energy. It uses energy from its environment, retrieves and converts into a usable and edible matter. Organisms that can do this process is the autotrophs, they can facilitate photosynthesis which they gather energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide in order to create energy by then, the transfer of this energy to other organism is played by the food chain –food web. </span>
Region of the World Percentage Value in Metric tons
North America 17 23,332,500
Asia 52 71,370,000
Africa 3 4,117,500
Europe 18 24,705,000
Latin America and the Caribbean 8 10,980,000
Oceania <u> 2</u> <u> 2,745,000</u>
100 137,250,000
We multiply the 137.25 million metric tons by its percentage to get its equivalent value in metric tons.
Asia uses 71.37 million metric tons.
In making the bar graph, The vertical line will be the percentage and the horizontal line will be the region. Bars of each region should have different colors for easy identification. Spaces between bars should be present, so that the bar graph will not be confused with the histogram.
Answer:
This is false.
Explanation:
Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements. ... Most stars have small amounts of heavier elements like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and iron, which were created by stars that existed before them.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Question: Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?
A) because pyruvate is toxic to the cells
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
C) in order to use lactate in the citric acid cycle
D) because lactate is needed to produce ATP
Answer:
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
Explanation:
Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) are the aerobic stages of cellular respiration. ETC regenerates NAD+ and FAD+ by oxidation of NADH and FADH2 produced during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. Here, oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor.
Glycolytic reactions use NAD+ as an electron acceptor and produce NADH. Therefore, a constant supply of NAD+ is required to sustain glycolysis. In absence of oxygen, ETC cannot occur and organisms convert pyruvate into lactate. Pyruvate is reduced in lactate and NADH serves as the electron donor. Thereby, lactate fermentation regenerates NAD+ to continue the process of glycolysis.
