In the malate–aspartate shuttle, electrons are transferred from <u>oxaloacetate</u> to form malate.

A crucial mechanism employed by mitochondria, the malate-aspartate shuttle system, also known as the malate shuttle, enables electrons to pass through the impermeable membrane separating the cytosol as well as the mitochondrial matrix. Glycolysis produces the electrons which are required for oxidative phosphorylation.

The liver, heart, as well as kidney, include the malate-aspartate shuttle, which produces about three molecules of ATP for every cytosolic NADH molecule. Under aerobic conditions, it constitutes quantitatively the most significant shuttle for such reoxidation of cytosolic NADH in vertebrate tissues.

Therefore, In the malate–aspartate shuttle, electrons are transferred from <u>oxaloacetate</u> to form malate.

Homologous chromosomes are chromosome with the same relative shape and gene location. However the allele composition may vary.

So I would say B, but only if the orange represents the same allele for a gene and not the same gene.

Convert the following to moles.

Luda [366]

Use dimensional analysis.
$\frac{60.0 grams NaOH}{1} * \frac{1 mole NaOH}{40.0 amu NaOH} =1.5 moles$

$\frac{2.73 grams NH4Cl}{1} * \frac{1 mole NH4Cl}{53.49 amu NH4Cl} = .051 moles$

Now you try converting moles to grams. All you have to do is start with MOLES (Unlike the previous examples) over 1 then multiply that ratio by the ratio of molar mass over 1 mole. Hope this helps!
