Biology

Darina [25.2K]2 years ago
7 0

The true statements are:

  • Substrate level phosphorylation ocvurs during Pyruvate oxidation
  • 32 ATP molecules can be made by cellular respiration but only 2 ATP molecules when oxygen is lacking
  • Electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity in the electron transport chain
  • ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria during oxidative phosphorylation
  • ATP inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase by feedback inhibition

<h3>What is glucose oxidation?</h3>

Glucose oxidation refers to the process in the cells in which glucose molecules are oxidized to form ATP and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen.

The first stage of glucose oxidation is the conversion to pyruvate.

Pyruvate is oxidized to acetylCoA.

AcetylCoA enters the citric acid cycle to produce reducing equivalents, NADH for the electron transport chain.

  • The true statements about pyruvate oxidation is that there is substrate level phosphorylation during the process
  • When there is sufficient oxygen, 36 ATP molecules can be made (theoretically) by cellular respiration. However, when oxygen is lacking, only 2 ATP molecules are made.
  • In the electron transport chain of cellular respiration, electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity
  • During oxidative phosphorylation, ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria
  • Aerobic respiration can be regulated by feedback inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase by ATP.

Which of the following is a characteristic of the tidal region of an ocean
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The defining characteristic of the intertidal zone is that it is submerged with water during high tide and exposed to the air during low tide. The zone can take many forms, from sandy beaches to rocky cliffs. It is common for the intertidal zone to change frequently, since it is constantly battered by crashing waves.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are enzymes involved with the control of mitosis; Drs. Lee Hartwell and Paul Nurse won the Nobel
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Dr. Leland Hartwell used baker’s yeast, <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>, as a model system, which was a highly suitable model for cell cycle studies. He introduced the concept of Checkpoints where he said cells are arrested if damaged so that the cells repair system can work to correct such damages. Dr. Paul Nurse used a different type of yeast, <em>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</em>, a type of yeast distantly related to the baker's yeast as a model organism.
