Answer:

Glucose exists as a single molecule or a monosaccharide. Its molecular structure exists as a six carbon molecule with twelve hydrogen molecules attached and six oxygen molecules(C6H12O6). ... These molecules have different structures but still function as sweeting agents.

Increasing permeability of the inner mitochondrion membrane to protons uncouples proton transport with ATP synthesis. As ATP synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation across ATP synthase is dependent on the proton gradient, increasing permeability of the membrane would reduce the amount of ATP synthesized as less protons will flow through ATP synthase. ADP is thus not converted to ATP and there is high amounts of ADP and AMP. High amounts of ADP and AMP will activate the glycolytic pathways and hence actively PFK hence the answer would be C.

A student is developing a model to show how proteins are synthesized in animal cells. Which organelles should the student includ

Montano1993 [528]

He must include A. Ribosomes, B. Endoplasmic reticulum and C. Golgi apparatus organelles in the model.

The ribosomes are organelles that are responsible for protein translation and are composed of rRNA and proteins. The rough endoplasmic recticulum synthesizes the protiens and the Golgi apparatus collects and dispatches protein products received from the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic recticulum are transported into vesicles, which then fuse with the Golgi apparatus and further transported to their destination.

You want to test which size of soccer (football) ball is easiest to juggle with your feet. You test a size 3, size 4 and a size

Semenov [28]

Answer:

independent variable: size of soccer ball

dependent variable: period of time the balls stay in the air

control variable: parts of the body used to juggle the ball

Explanation:

The independent variable is the manipulatable variable supplied into an experiment. It is a variable that directly affects the dependent variable.

The independent variable is the outcome variable. It is the variable that is primarily measured from experiments whose value depends on the value of the independent variable.

The control variables are those that are kept constant throughout the course of experiments. In other words, they do not directly affect experimental outcomes.

Hence, in the illustration;

independent variable: size of soccer ball

dependent variable: period of time the balls stay in the air

control variable: parts of the body used to juggle the ball
