Answer:
a. glycolysis—preparatory reaction--cirtric acid cycle--electron transport system
Explanation:
- Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. During glycolysis one 6 carbon glucose is converted into two molecules of 3 carbon pyruvic acid or pyruvate.
- In the preparatory reaction, the pyruvate converted into a two-carbon molecule called acetyl CoA. In this reaction, a carbon dioxide molecule is released and a molecule of NADH is released.
- The citric acid cycle begins with the reaction of the acetyl CoA with a four-carbon molecule in the mitochondrisl matrix. It goes through a cycle of reactions regenerating the four-carbon starting molecule. ATP, NADH and FADH₂ are produced.
- The electron transport system is the terminal step of aerobic respiration that operates on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH₂ move along electron transport system release high-energy electrons and produce ATP.
Answer:
The ten percent rule, also known as the law of ecological tithe, has to do with the effective transfer of energy that occurs at different trophic levels, corresponding to the use of one tenth of the energy from the immediate previous level.
Explanation:
The 10 percent rule was established by the english naturalist Charles Sutherland Elton, indicating that the <u>transfer of energy from one</u><u> trophic level</u><u> to another is only 10 percent</u>. This means that the level immediately above can only use one tenth of the energy produced by the level before it.
<h3>What percentage of energy a dolphin would have after it ate a fish, that ate an insect, that ate some grass?</h3>
For example, if we say that grass produces 10000 Kcal, the insect that consumes it (primary consumer) will be able to use 1000 Kcal, the fish that consumes insects 100 Kcal and the dolphin that consumes the fish only 100 Kcal.
<em>Grass → Insect → Fish → Dolphin</em>
<em>10000 1000 100 10</em>
In the end the dolphin, a tertiary consumer, will only be able to produce 10 Kcal, when in the food web the producer had 10,000 Kcal.
The 10 percent rule is not entirely accurate, since the effective transfer can be less or more than 10 percent. However, in most cases, the average energy transfer is around 10%, which complies with the rule.
You could either say it turned because of oxidation or corrosion.
