Answer: Option D) cofactor that is an activator of the enzyme.

Explanation:

A cofactor is a non-organic component (usually a metal) of an enzyme or protein, that enhances its function. Good examples of Cofactors include iron in hemoglobin, zinc in carboxypeptidase.

Zinc at the active site of the enzyme, carboxypeptidase helps it in cleaving off aromatic amino acids.

<h3>         Lol no need to feel dum.b XD, everyone has trouble sometimes.</h3>

                          Revolution: the movement of an object in a circular or elliptical course around another or about an axis or center.

<h3>The moon having a revolution means that the moon is circling around the earth!!</h3><h3>                                          I apologize if i'm wrong// You're welcome if i' correct!</h3>

                       ((-Side Note-)): If you don't mind if this answer is correct can you give me brainliest? thank you ^v^!

TEA [102]
<h2>Type of Organisam to a Characteristic </h2>

The chloroplast produces food from inorganic materials. Anaerobic organelles cannot survive in the presence of oxygen this is because oxygen does not help in it's growth. Though eukaryotic cells contain cell nucleus. This is why chloroplasts produce food through photosynthesis.

2a) Which of the following statements about pyruvate oxidation IS TRUE?
Darina [25.2K]

The true statements are:

  • Substrate level phosphorylation ocvurs during Pyruvate oxidation
  • 32 ATP molecules can be made by cellular respiration but only 2 ATP molecules when oxygen is lacking
  • Electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity in the electron transport chain
  • ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria during oxidative phosphorylation
  • ATP inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase by feedback inhibition

<h3>What is glucose oxidation?</h3>

Glucose oxidation refers to the process in the cells in which glucose molecules are oxidized to form ATP and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen.

The first stage of glucose oxidation is the conversion to pyruvate.

Pyruvate is oxidized to acetylCoA.

AcetylCoA enters the citric acid cycle to produce reducing equivalents, NADH for the electron transport chain.

  • The true statements about pyruvate oxidation is that there is substrate level phosphorylation during the process
  • When there is sufficient oxygen, 36 ATP molecules can be made (theoretically) by cellular respiration. However, when oxygen is lacking, only 2 ATP molecules are made.
  • In the electron transport chain of cellular respiration, electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity
  • During oxidative phosphorylation, ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria
  • Aerobic respiration can be regulated by feedback inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase by ATP.
