Summary Introduction

To write:

Stages of cellular respiration, in which oxygen is used and carbon dioxide is produced.

Introduction:

The cellular respiration is the oxidative breakdown of food particles within the cell, releasing energy and biochemical intermediates. In the process of the cellular respiration, many by-products are released. These products can be used in other processes or it can be excreted out of the body.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

In cellular respiration, oxygen is used in glycolysis, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.

1) Glycolysis- It is partial oxidation of glucose and so oxygen is required for oxidation.

2) Krebs cycle - It is stepwise oxidation and cyclic degradation of activated acetate derived from pyruvate. In this also oxidation occurs and so oxygen is required.

3) Electron transport chain - Oxygen is required in this step too.

In cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is produced in the Krebs cycle. In Krebs cycle oxidation of pyruvate forms carbon dioxide, ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and other products are produced.

Conclusion

Oxygen is used in glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain step in cellular respiration and carbon dioxide are produced in the Krebs cycle step of cellular respiration.

Imagine you are a botanist.  Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).   Field Notes:  Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park                 (Grundy County, TN). Laboratory Analysis:  Body:  Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome. Size: 63 cm  Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44. Lignin test: Positive Cuticle: Present Leaves:  Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores). Roots: Present—branch from the inside. Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present. Life History:  Diploid sporophyte dominant generation.  Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte.  Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced.  Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte. Explain which domain, kingdom and phylum you believe this plant should be classified…
