Atmospheric nitrogen has to be combined with other elements

Biology
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]2 years ago
4 0

Nitrogen in gaseous amount is 78% which is present in atmosphere. It has to be combined with other elements, or fixed, in order to be used by plants. Lightning is one way fixation of atmospheric nitrogen because when lightning occurs, the extreme heat melts the nitrogen molecules bond, allowing nitrogen to combine with oxygen and form nitrogen oxides.

<h3>What is atmosphere?</h3>

An atmosphere is referred to a layers of gases which envelope a planet, and is held in place by the gravity of the planetary body.

By a series of microbial transformations nitrogen is made available to plants, which in turn ultimately sustain all animal life.

A mutant strain of yeast is able to produce 2 ATP for each glucose molecule digested in the absence of oxygen. What makes this s
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normally, under anaerobic condition in yeast, pyruvate produced from glycolysis leads to the production of ethanol as shown below.

pyruvate ⇒ acetaldehyde + NADH ⇒ ethanol + NAD

The pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme, pyruvate decarboxylase. It should be NOTED that carbon dioxide is released in this step. The acetaldehyde produced in the "first step" is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It must be noted from the above that the steps are irreversible.

If a mutated strain of yeast is unique because it does not produce alcohol and lactic acid (which is referred to as toxic acid in the question); thus having a high level of pyruvate because of the presence of a novel enzyme.   <u>The function of this novel enzyme will most likely be the conversion of acetaldehyde in the presence of carbondioxide back to pyruvate; thus making that step reversible</u>. This could be a possible explanation for the high level of pyruvate present in the yeast.
