Answer:
In the third step of the citric acid cycle, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released.
Explanation:
In the first step of citric acid cycle, acetylCoA combines with a four-carbon molecule, oxaloacetate, forming a six-carbon molecule, citrate.
In the second step, the citrate in the presence of enzyme anicotase is converted into isocitrate.
<u>In the third step, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released leaving behind one five-carbon molecule called as α-ketoglutarate. During this step, NAD⁺ is reduced to form NADH. </u>
<u>This is first round of the citric acid cycle that could possibly release a carbon atom originating from this acetyl CoA.</u>
On series of reaction, another carbon dioxide molecule also being relased and oxaloacetate is regenerated again.
Answer:
Partial pressure of CO2 = 16 atm
Explanation:
Total number of moles of gases = 4+1 = 5 moles
Mole fraction of CO2 = 4/5
Partial pressure of CO2 = mole fraction of CO2 × total pressure
Partial pressure of CO2 = (4/5) × 20
Partial pressure of CO2 = 16 atm
Answer:
Contributes to the membrane potential.
Explanation:
Sodium-potassium pump: In cellular physiology, a protein which is identified in many cells that helping in to maintain the higher concentration of potassium ions inside than that is in the surrounding medium and maintain the lower concentration of sodium ions inside than that of the surrounding medium.
This unbalanced charge transfer contributes in the separation of charge across the cell membrane. Sodium-potassium pump is known for important contributor to action potential which is produce by nerve cells.
Answer:
<h3>The answer is option B</h3>
Explanation:
To calculate the number of atoms we must first calculate the number of moles
Molar mass = mass / number of moles
number of moles = mass / Molar mass
Molar mass (K) = 39.10mole
mass = 2.10g
number of moles = 2.10/ 39.10
= 0.0537mol
After that we use the formula
N = n × L
where n is the number of moles
N is the number of entities
L is the Avogadro's constant which is
6.02 × 10^23 entities
Number of K atoms is
N = 0.0537 × 6.02 × 10^13
<h3>N = 3.23×10^22 atoms of K</h3>
Hope this helps you.
