Biology Questions

Cellular respiration can be broken down into three main steps:

1. Glycolysis,

2. The Kreb's cycle (The citric acid cycle), and

3. Electron Transport Chain.

"Glycolysis" means the splitting of glucose. The first step of the process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and yields a small amount of energy (measured in units of ATP) and two molecules of pyruvate.

The other steps occur in the mitochondria. It is an ongoing process as your cells have a constant need for energy.

Haemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder where the blood doesn't clot properly. It is caused when blood does not have enough clotting factor.

The main treatment for hemophilia is called replacement therapy. Concentrates of clotting factor VIII (for hemophilia A) or clotting factor IX (for hemophilia B) are slowly dripped or injected into a vein. These infusions help replace the clotting factor that's missing or low.

Chloroplasts contains chlorophyll, the green substance in plants that allows them to create food from carbon dioxide and water called as photosynthesis.

A gametes are haploid cells as they have only one set of chromosomes. Meiosis is a process of cellular reproduction in which both male and female gametes are formed. During meiosis, the DNA is only replicated or copied one time.

Polyunsaturated fats are healthy fats whcih we can get from eating greeny leaf vegetables, fish and some seeds that are helpful in brain functioning, nutrient rich blood, hair growth, etc...

ATP - Adinosine Triphosphate is the compound that directly provides energy for cellular work.
