Stalactite.

<u>Stalactite:</u>

  • Often, stalagmites develop up from the cave floor, whereas stalagmites typically grow down from the cave roof.
  • It's simple to distinguish between the two since stalagmites have a "G" for ground and stalactites have a "T" for top.
  • Typically made of calcium carbonate, stalagmites can also be made of lava, mud, peat, pitch, sand, sinter, and amber.
  • A single drop of water rich in minerals is the origin of all limestone stalactites.
  • The smallest ring of calcite is left behind by the falling water drop.
  • Another calcite ring is left behind with each new drop of water that develops and drops.

What other cofactors or cosubstrates does the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex require to function?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) is a very high molecular weight mitochondrial multienzyme complex.It includes three types of enzymes that need the participation of five coenzymes to develop their activity, three of them catalytic cofactors (TPP, lipoamide, FAD) and two stoichiometric (NAD and CoA). Two enzymes involved in regulating its activity are also part of the enzyme complex.

Explanation:

PDH is a multienzyme complex formed by multiple copies of three catalytic proteins (E1, E2 and E3) and other structural and regulatory (phosphatase, kinase). It requires, in turn, different coenzymes (thiamine, lipoic acid) for its proper functioning. Given its enormous importance at a key point in energy production, it is highly regulated. E1 depends on thiamine pyrophosphate and catalyzes 2 stages: 1) decarboxylation of pyruvate, forming a hydroxyethyl-thiamine-diphosphate intermediate; 2) reductive acetylation of the lipoyl group, covalently linked (amide) to E2. E2 catalyzes the transfer of the acetyl group to CoA (3). E3 regenerates the oxidized lipoyl, transferring its electrons first to FAD and then to NAD.

Which is required for the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis to occur?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: The correct answer is- H2O ( water).

Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and algae prepare their own food ( using CO2 and H2O) in the presence of sunlight. It is primarily divided into two phase that is light dependent and light independent phase.

During light depednent phase ( that occurs in thylakoid membrane), solar energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Water is required as splitting of water ( H2O) occurs in this phase that liberates electrons ( which are passed to reaction center chlorophyll), hydrogen ions, and oxygen atom ( which combine to form oxygen molecule).

Thus, H2O is the right answer.

Learning through art: dna structure can you correctly label various parts of a dna molecule?
Paraphin [41]
<span>There are three basic chemical components of DNA - 1. Four "Nucleic acids", 2. Deoxyribose sugar, and 3. Phosphate backbone. The overall shape of the molecule is a double-stranded, double helix. It looks a bit like a spiral staircase wrapped around a spiral staircase. Phosphate groups outside, nucleic acids inside the helix,</span>

Fossil skulls of Dimetrodon show that it had large, strong bones in its head for the attachment of its jaw muscles. Suggest how
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Dimetrodon (/daɪˈmiːtrədɒn/ (About this soundlisten) or /daɪˈmɛtrədɒn/, meaning "two measures of teeth") is an extinct genus of non-mammalian synapsid that lived during the Cisuralian (Early Permian), around 295–272 million years ago (Ma).It is a member of the family Sphenacodontidae. The most prominent feature of Dimetrodon is the large neural spine sail on its back formed by elongated spines extending from the vertebrae. It walked on four legs and had a tall, curved skull with large teeth of different sizes set along the jaws. Most fossils have been found in southwestern United States, the majority coming from a geological deposit called the Red Beds of Texas and Oklahoma. More recently, fossils have been found in Germany. Over a dozen species have been named since the genus was first erected in 1878.
