Two nutrient solutions are maintained at the same pH. Actively respiring mitochondria are isolated and placed into each of the t

wo solutions. Oxygen gas is bubbled into one solution. The other solution is depleted of available oxygen. Which of the following best explains why ATP production is greater in the tube with oxygen than in the tube without oxygen?
A. The rate of proton pumping across the inner mitochondrial membrane is lower in the sample without oxygen. B. Electron transport is reduced in the absence of a plasma membrane. C. In the absence of oxygen, oxidative phosphorylation produces more ATP than does fermentation. D. In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis produces more ATP than in the absence of oxygen.

Was told the answer is A. but i need help justifying that and why it is not D

Answer:

Explanation:

A is correct because energy from electrons from oxygen are used to pump the H+ (as well as electrons from NADH) It's not D because glycolysis happens both in absence and presence of oxygen and never uses O2 so glycolysis is the same in both processes, its what happens after glycolysis that is dependent on the availability of oxygen (oxidative phosphorylation or fermentation)

Sarah performs an experiment to determine the effect of nitrogen on plants. She studies the effect of nitrogen on the growth of
Aneli [31]
When Sarah performed this experiment, she changed the levels of nitrogen in order to observe the changes in the morphological features of the plant.
All of the characteristics of the plant that she observed were dependent on multiple different things, but the level of nitrogen was an independent variable that she was changing at her will.

The first sphincter encountered in the alimentary canal is the: The first sphincter encountered in the alimentary canal is the:
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: upper esophageal sphincter.

Explanation:

The alimentary canal is a very long tract responsible for the digestion of the food. It is composed of several organs with many different and important functions. The alimentary canal also has a few sphincters, which are muscular valves that open and close when needed for the food to pass or be retained.

The first sphincter is the upper esophageal sphincter. One particularity of this sphincter is that is one of the few sphincters in the body that opens and closes under our conscious control, which happens when we decide to swallow our food.

From the first to the last, the order of the sphincters in the gastrointestinal tract is: upper esophageal sphincter, lower esophageal sphincter or gastroesophageal sphincter, pyloric sphincter, ileocecal sphincter, and anus.
