⚠️Which statement below best describes cell respiration in the mitochondria?⚠️ A. The breakdown of glucose in the mitochondria similar to the release of energy in a fire, only slower. Energy gets released which helps to maintain the body’s internal temperature.

B. Mitochondria act like the opposite of chloroplasts in photosynthesis. Glucose gets combined with carbon dioxide, and energy in the form of light gets released.

C. The mitochondria in a cell work like the nucleus to store oxygen and carbon dioxide to produce glucose, which the cell uses for fuel. This girl will power the cell.

D. It is the function of the mitochondria to convert heat energy into kinetic energy. This happens when the mitochondria “burns” glucose using carbon dioxide and water, resulting in a release of thermal energy and potential energy.

If a cell is placed into a hypertonic environment, what will happen to it ? a)it will shrink or shrivel b)nothing c)it will burst d) it will expand or enlarge

Our planet has experienced five major extinctions in the four billion year history of life. the first, 450 million years ago, occurred shortly after the evolution of the first land-based plants and 100 million years after the cambrian explosion. the second extinction occurred 350 million years ago, causing the formation of coal forests. next earth experienced two mass extinctions during the triassic period, between 250 and 200 million years ago. the fifth mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago, ending the reptilian dominance of the earth. according to richard leakey, the sixth mass extinction is happening right now. leakey suggests that we, the human race, are the cause. each year, at our hand, approximately 50,000 species vanish from earth. he believes that man is destroying earth at a rate comparable with the impact of a giant asteroid. leakey's statistics indicate that 50% of earth's species will become extinct within the next 100 years assuming leakey's hypothesis of a sixth mass extinction to be true, how will we expect the model to change? a) a sharp spike in the graph approximately 100 million years from now b) a dip in the graph, followed by a sharp spike about 100 million years from now c) a sharp spike in the graph immediately following the "0" location of the x axis d) a plateau following the "0" mark on the x axis, followed by a gradual rise to a new peak

Why is the limitations on supplies of freshwater becoming an increasing problem despite the fact that we have desalination technologies
