Answer:

The statements that correctly describes pyruvate dehydrogenase includes:

- Several copies each of E 1 and E 3 surround E 2.

-A regulatory kinase and phosphatase are part of the mammalian PDH complex.

-E 2 contains three domains.

Explanation:

Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a hydrolase key enzyme in glucose metabolism which converts pyruvate to acetyl- ChoA. It also forms a complex that catalyzes an irreversible reaction that is the entry point of pyruvate into the TCA cycle. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex contains E1, E2 and E3 enzymes that transform pyruvate, NAD+, coenzyme A into acetyl-CoA, CO2, and NADH. Also, A regulatory kinase and phosphatase are part of the mammalian PDH complex and E 2 contains three domains.

How is freeze dried ice cream made

ollegr [7]

Freeze drying (or lyophilization) removes water from the ice cream by lowering the air pressure to a point where ice sublimates from a solid to a gas. The ice cream is placed in a vacuum chamber and frozen until the water crystallizes. The air pressure is lowered, creating a partial vacuum, forcing air out of the chamber; next heat is applied, sublimating the ice; finally a freezing coil traps the vaporized water. This process continues for hours, resulting in a freeze-dried ice cream slice.
