Answer:

a. glycolysis—preparatory reaction--cirtric acid cycle--electron transport system

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. During glycolysis one 6 carbon glucose is converted into two molecules of 3 carbon pyruvic acid or pyruvate.
In the preparatory reaction, the pyruvate converted into a two-carbon molecule called acetyl CoA. In this reaction, a carbon dioxide molecule is released and a molecule of NADH is released.
The citric acid cycle begins with the reaction of the acetyl CoA with a four-carbon molecule in the mitochondrisl matrix. It goes through a cycle of reactions regenerating the four-carbon starting molecule. ATP, NADH and FADH₂ are produced.
The electron transport system is the terminal step of aerobic respiration that operates on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH₂ move along electron transport system release high-energy electrons and produce ATP.

Which statement regarding hemodialysis is true?

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: B. The blood is circulated out of the body for cleansing and then returned.

Explanation:

Hemodialysis is a medical therapy in which the patient's blood is taken out with the help of tubes and treated out of the body. The blood is pumped out using the blood compartment. The blood is circulated using a external filter, that is called as dialyzer. The blood get cleansed and impurities are removed and purified blood returned via circuit back to the body. This technique is used to control the blood pressure and balance of important minerals in the body that involves the potassium, sodium and calcium in the blood.

Based on the above information, option. B is the correct option.
