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.

What is the composition of earths atmosphere

gogolik [260]

The earth's atmosphere consists mainly of nitrogen and oxygen with smaller proportions of other gases such as carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained through a balance between processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and combustion. However this balance is being affected by human activities which are polluting the atmosphere.

The proportion of these gases in the atmosphere is as follows: nitrogen is the most abundant at 78%, oxygen is next at 21%, while others include carbon dioxide at 0.037% and argon at 0.9 % .

A what are the events of a stars life in order

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Massive stars transform into supernovae, neutron stars and black holes while average stars like the sun, end life as a white dwarf surrounded by a disappearing planetary nebula. All-stars, irrespective of their size, follow the same 7 stage cycle, they start as a gas cloud and end as a star remnant.

Which diagrams shows reaction pathway that absorbs energy?

postnew [5]

Question:

<em>The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway.</em>

Part 1: Does the diagram illustrate an endothermic or an exothermic reaction? Give reasons in support of your answer.

Part 2: Describe how you can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram and if each is positive or negative.

Answer:

Part 1: The diagram illustrates an endothermic reaction as the products has a higher potential energy than the reactants do. There is a positive slope of the diagram and there is enough energy to meet the activation energy requirement.

Part 2: You can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram by the potential energy of the reactants. If the reactants have a high potential energy, then the enthalpy is also high, and if the reactants have a low potential energy, then the enthalpy is low. You can determine if the diagram is positive or negative by knowing if its an endothermic or exothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction is positive because the products are higher than the reactants and a exothermic reaction is negative because the reactants are higher than the products.
