Option D – amphibians may use their skin for gas exchange is the characteristic feature of amphibians that differs from reptiles.
Explanation:
The amphibian skin is moist, thin and marbled and supplied by blood vessels running on its surface. The moisture present in the skin dissolves the oxygen present in its surrounding which is absorbed by the blood vessels. Special glands help the amphibians to keep the skin moist.
The very thick and tough scales present on the reptiles prevent them to absorb oxygen through their skin. Hence, they breathe and respire through their lungs.
Amphibians have three-chambered heart. They do not develop amniotic eggs. Adult amphibians although spend much time on land, they breed only in water due to the absence of amniotic sac
.
The building blocks of protein are C. AMINO ACIDS.
Amino acids are made up of a center carbon atom bound positively to a charged amino group and a negatively charged carboxyl group and a side chain.
The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of an amino acids that are attached together by a peptide bond
The secondary structure of a protein, the polypeptide is folded through the mechanisms of amino acids rotating around bonds folding into a helix or a pleated sheet structure and stabilized by a hydrogen bond.
Answer:
The cell membrane is permeable to small solutes to let them easily diffuse in and out of the cells.
Answer:
What does cellular respiration due?
<h2>Cellular respiration releases stored energy in glucose molecules and converts it into a form of energy that can be used by cells.</h2>
Explanation:
<h2>What are the 7 steps of cellular respiration in order?</h2>
<h2>Overview of the steps of cellular respiration. Glycolysis. Six-carbon glucose is converted into two pyruvates (three carbons each). ATP and NADH are made.</h2>
...
<h2>Glycolysis. ... </h2><h2>Pyruvate oxidation. ... </h2><h2>Citric acid cycle. ... </h2><h2>Oxidative phosphorylation</h2>
<h2>Answer</h2>
<h2> Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules[1] or nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.[2] The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy because weak high-energy bonds, in particular in molecular oxygen,[3] are replaced by stronger bonds in the products. Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, some of which are redox reactions. Although cellular respiration is technically a combustion reaction, it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell because of the slow, controlled release of energy from the series of reactions.Nutrients that are commonly used by animal and plant cells in respiration include sugar, amino acids and fatty acids, and the most common oxidizing agent providing most of the chemical energy is molecular oxygen (O2).[1] The chemical energy stored in ATP (the bond of its third phosphate group to the rest of the molecule can be broken allowing more stable products to form, thereby releasing energy for use by the cell) can then be used to drive processes requiring energy, including biosynthesis, locomotion or transport of molecules across cell membranes.</h2>
