This is a cellular respiration question, related to biology.
Some processes in our bodies require the use oxygen, others do not.
In this case, the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl co-enzyme A and the production of water in the electron transport chain do require oxygen.
If oxygen was not present for pyruvate, it would turn into lactic acid via fermentation. Water in the ETC is formed in the process when NADH and FADH2 are converted to molecular oxygen due to the electron transporters. The protons are then pumped and oxygen is reduced to form H2O.
It has been found that the rainforests are accountable for about one-third, that is, 28 percent of the oxygen of the Earth, however, the majority of the oxygen, that is, about 70 percent in the atmosphere is generated by the marine plants. The left-over two percent of the oxygen comes from other sources.
The majority of the oxygen comes from the tiny plants in the ocean known as phytoplankton, which lives near the surface of the water and drifts with the currents. Similarly to plants, they perform the process of photosynthesis, that is, they utilize carbon dioxide and sunlight to prepare food, oxygen is the by-product of photosynthesis.
However, the concentration of the dissolved oxygen, which the water can hold relies on the salinity and temperature of the water. The cold water can withhold more oxygen in comparison to warm water and fresh water can hold more oxygen in comparison to salt water. So, the warmer and saltier the water is, the less will be the oxygen dissolved in it.
Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yield new species or offsprings.
This sexual selection then results in generations of offsprings that are genetically different from the rest of the same species due to uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species.
Thus, only option B is true.
Such plants are called vascular plants.
