1. How are the endergonic reactions of the first phase of glycolysis coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP, whichis exergonic? How are the exergonic reactions of the second phaseof glycolysis coupled to the endergonic synthesis of ATP and NADH? 2. In what ways is the inner mitochondrialmembrane essential to the […]

You are investigating the scene of a hit and run where somebody’s pet dog was killed. It is a very hot day so the dog’s body temperature is unlikely to yield any important information regarding the time of death. The dog’s limbs are movable and there is no significant smell […]

Chimpanzees and humans are very similar in many ways including skeletal muscle structure but chimpanzees are able to generate at least twice the force as humans of the same mass. An additional difference is that humans have much greater fine motor control. Current hypotheses describing these differences are that chimpanzees […]

Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy to chemicalenergy by autotrophic organisms (primarily plants). In the process,oxygen is released. Photosynthesis requires light, so it would notoccur in the foil-wrapped bottles. Respiration does not requirelight. Both autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms (primarilyanimals and bacteria) consume oxygen during respiration whenchemical energy is converted […]
