Summary Introduction

To review:

The given blank space in the statement, “The complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen occurs in two major stages: ______ and _______. The first of these stages occurs in the _________ of the cell, and the second stage occurs in organelles called ________. Conditions in which oxygen is present are described as _________.”

Introduction:

Glucose is an essential energy source for most organisms. Breakdown of glucose can occur either in conditions in which oxygen is present or conditions in which the oxygen is absent. When the breakdown of glucose occurs in conditions when oxygen is present, then it occurs in two major steps.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

In the stages of glucose breakdown, the first step is known as glycolysis. The second step or stage is called cellular respiration. Glycolysis is the stage, in which the glucose splits into two 3-carbon-containing molecules called pyruvate. The process of glycolysis includes an energy investment stage and later energy harvesting stage. This process occurs in the cytosol of the cell.

Cellular respiration occurs as the second stage of glucose breakdown and it occurs in the mitochondria. In this stage, the pyruvate molecules made during glycolysis are broken down into water molecules and carbon dioxide. The conditions, in which there is the presence of oxygen are called aerobic condition.

Conclusion

The complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen occurs in two major stages: glycolysis and cellular respiration. The first of these stages occur in the cytosol of the cell, and the second stage occurs in organelles called mitochondria. Conditions in which oxygen is present are described as aerobic conditions.”

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format: I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format) Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).
