We can consider Respiration as the physiological definition or the biochemical definition.

Explanation:

Physiological definition:

Respiration in this case is the movement of oxygen from the outside environment to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.

Steps:

1. Inhalation (breathing in) which is active movement and the oxygen enters.

2. There is a pulmonary gas exchange. It takes place between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the pulmonary capillaries.

3. Intern gas exchange in cells.

3. Exhalation (breathing out) is usually a passive process, CO2 goes out of the body.

Biochemical definition:

Refers the metabolic process placed in cells by which an organism obtains energy (in the form of ATP and NADPH) by oxidising nutrients and releasing waste products. During all the sequence the six-carbon sugar molecule glucose is converted to carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen to give 36 to 38 molecules of ATP (the energy). Cellular respiration we are defining happens in the presence of oxygen.

Steps: (all this sequence occur in the mitochondria)

1. Glycolysis (in prokaryotic and eukaryotic). It's sequence of 10 chemical reactions that break down a glucose molecule into two pyruvate (pyruvic acid) molecules.

2. The bridge reaction. In here there's no ATP production. Two pyruvate molecules that come from glycolysis are transformed into two molecules of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA), with two molecules of CO2 as a metabolic waste.

3. The Krebs cycle (oxygen dependent pathway). It has eight steps catalyzed by eight different enzymes. The result of this process is only 4 ATPs, but a lot of NADH that will be very useful in the electron transport chain.

4. The electron transport chain (oxygen dependent pathway). NADH carry electrons from Hydrogen and they go to an electron transport chain. The result is 32 ATPs for every glucose.

In a relatively small iguana population the allelic frequency is tracked for three generations. webbing is a recessive allele; no webbing is the dominant allele. during one very rainy spring and summer, a flood washes all the iguana without webbed feet out to sea. by the fall, and three generations later, you have the gene pool seen here.

Dr. kaylan is an ecologist who studies bird behavior. she sets up an experiment to test which type of food crows are most likely to eat when given a choice between walnuts, corn, and sunflower seeds. to perform her experiment, dr. kaylan places three food bins in an area frequented by cows. each bin contains one of the three food types. then, she measures how much of each food type is eaten every day for a month and summarizes the results of her experiment in the pie chart below. based on her results, dr. kaylan concludes that crows choose to eat corn more frequently than other food sources because it has a higher nutritional value. what is a reasonable alternate conclusion that can be drawn from dr. kaylan's data
