In the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, only one of the actual steps involve electron transfer.

Glycolysis involves a series of reactions which derive energy from glucose by splitting it into two three-carbon molecules i.e. pyruvates. It occurs in the cytoplasm and does not require oxygen.

The sixth step in this process involves electron transfer in which two half reactions occur simultaneously:-

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (one of the three-carbon sugars formed in the initial phase) is oxidized, and
NAD+ is reduced to NADH and H+.

The overall reaction is exergonic i.e. energy releasing. The energy is used later to phosphorylate the molecule leading to the formation of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

Recalling the Importance of Geographic Isolation

Explanation:

2. distribution and abundance of organisms

3. speciation of plants

4. Antarctic convergence

Geographical isolation is the physical barrier dividing the communities. It usually stops the gene flow between species in a process called allopatric speciation, contributing to reproductive isolation.

Further Explanation:

Spontaneous modifications within the genome may arise during the cycle of cell division, called mutations. These errors occur as copies of the DNA are produced within the cell; mutations may range from small modifications, called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large-scale deletions and multi-gene additions.

These mutations form variants which, within a population, become stable, resulting in the formation of separate, genetically distinct populations called species. Apart from allopatric speciation, new species arise through several other evolutionary mechanisms such as:

peripatric speciation— like allopatric speciation, however, one group is much smaller, making the unique characteristics more notable, or distinct
parapatric speciation— sub-populations in a large geographic region develop reproductive isolation by mating with those nearby, but continue to undergo reproductive isolation;
sympatric speciation-absence of physical barriers that impede the passage of genes; reproductive segregation by many variants of the same genes called polymorphisms

Genrish500 [490]

Answer: .OH, O2-, H2O2

Explanation:

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive and unstable species containing oxygen. ROS are formed when oxygen is partially reduced, thus they are all radicals with very high reactivity, attacking membrane proteins such as ion channels etc

Examples include peroxides (H2O2), superoxide (O2-), hydroxyl radical (.OH)

Which of the following polymers provide protection in the plasma membrane? A)Proteins B)Lipids C)Starches D)Nucleic Acids

leonid [27]

I would say B, because the others are actually molecules with other functions, and the plasma membrane is made up of lipids and proteins (mainly lipids). So, the hydrophillic parts of lipids help protect the plasma membrane.
