WHAT IS GLYCOLYSIS? EXPLAIN IN BRIEF WITH SUITABLE FIGURE. ​

Biology
1 answer:
NARA [144]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway (process) that converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. In the process the pathway forms two molecules of ATP and one molecule of NADH from two molecules of ADP and phosphate and one molecule of NADH.

The importance of glycolysis is that it provides the cell with a small amount of readily accessible energy in the form of ATP and it provides the mitochondria with a source of pyruvate. There, the pyruvate can be completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O and form a large amount (~28 molecules) of ATP from ADP and phosphate. More importantly, it provides red blood cells with there only source of ATP (since they have no mitochondria).

A titratable group is in the active site of an enzyme and must be protonated for the enzyme to function. Assume that the group h
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is 3. "At pH 6.5 the enyzme is 50% active"

Explanation:

For the titratable group to be protonated and cause the enzyme to be in the active state, it needs to have gained a hydrogen cation (H+). In order for that to happen, there must be enough hydrogen cations in the environment of the enzyme, and hence, an acidic pH is required in this case.

Which of the following best explains why herring gull chicks were one of the first species to exhibit the effects of pollution,
prohojiy [21]
The correct answer is A.
Toxins and various pollutants increase in concentration through the food chain in a process called biomagnification. This means that the organisms on the top of the food chain, like the herring gull, have many times greater concentration of toxins than the lower food chain level organisms because they prey on lower food chain level organisms. If a herring gull ears 100 herrings, it will have a 100x times greater concentration of toxins in its body than a herring.
