"Generally describe the series of events via which pyruvate is further processed after glycolysis (assume that this is in the pr

esence of oxygen, i.e. pathways other than fermentation). Keep track of the net inputs and outputs of these processes and the locations in which they happen.

Answer:

The product of glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate. It is a three-carbon compound. This pyruvate again undergoes oxidation in the cytoplasm. This process is called pyruvate oxidation which produces Acetyl CoA. The Acetyl CoA is a two-carbon molecule.

Acetyl CoA again used for the citric acid cycle. This is also called as Kreb's cycle / TCA cycle. Because citric acid has 3 carboxylic groups. The acetyl coenzyme produces NADH, FADH2, ATP. The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. This is an 8 step process. The first product is citric acid. The other products of each step are isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, Fumarate, L - malate, and Oxaloacetate (OAA).

Another process of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain ( ETS). Here the energy stored in NADH, FADH2 in the citric acid cycle are utilized. It is a chain of electron carriers. ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.  

In short, the glucose splits by glycolysis and produces ATP, NADPH, and final product pyruvate. The pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetyle coenzyme. This is used in the TCA / citric acid cycle. In this process also NADH, FADH2 which forms electrons are produced. Theses electrons are carried by different electron carriers and accepted by oxygen.

In the process of pyruvate oxidation 6 ATP, and in Kreb's cycle 18 ATPs, in ETS, 4 ATPs are produced. In addition to this in glycolysis produces 4 ATPs. The total number of ATP in aerobic respiration is 32 ATP.

In eukaryotes, general transcription factors a.In eukaryotes, general transcription factors b.are required for the expression of
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:b.are required for the expression of specific protein-encoding genes

Explanation:

Transcription factors are proteins that bind to enzyme RNA polymerase to aid transcription( coping of information on DNA to an intermediate mRNA.

They control the expression of a particular gene. A transcriptor can be a repressor or enhancer. A repressor when they inhibit the action of RNA polymerase by blocking it from attaching to promoter sequence or enhancer by binding to RNA polymerase to enhance transcription.

Transcriptor protein can work alone or work with other protein such as silencer.

Marcus discovered that sodium (Na) is found in Group 1, Period 3 on the periodic table. Where should Marcus look to find another
Leokris [45]

Answer:

1. A. Group 1

2. B. A chemical change occurred which is evidenced by the change in color of the solution.

3. D. Physical change because the chemical properties of the salt and water remained the same.

4. D. Sphere B will float because it is less dense than water.

5. C. Shredding them into smaller pieces.

6. A. Her model uses eleven white pom-poms.

   B. Her model uses twelve black pom-poms.

   E. Her model uses eleven yellow pom-poms.

7.  B. The liquids have different densities.

8.  D. Physical Properties: color, texture Chemical Properties: ability to rust

9.  A. Container A will have 1 liter of helium, and container B will have 1 liter of water.

Explanation:

1.

In the periodic table, <u>rows</u> represent the<em> period</em> that they are in, while columns represent the groups that elements are in. Elements in the same group (column) share similar properties. Since Sodium (Na) is found in group 1, elements that are similar in properties would be found in the same group.

2.  

A chemical change is marked with a change in color, production of gas, heat, and sometimes smell and light. A chemical change results in new products formed, in which the properties and identities of the reactants change as well because their atoms were rearranged. In this case, the <u>change in color </u>of solution shows that a chemical change had occurred.

3.

Earlier we said that chemical change results in new products, for physical change it does not. The substance will keep its identity. Like in the scenario, the salt and water did mix together, but when they were separated through evaporation, the salt <u>retained its identity</u> and so did the water. The substances involved merely changed phases. So this was a physical change.

4.

If the density of the object is more than the density of the liquid, the object will sink. On the other hand, if the density of the object is <u>less than the density of the liquid, it will float. </u>

If water has a density of 1g/cm³, the object that has the lesser density will float. First you solve for the densities of each object and it can be computed using the formula:

D = m/v

where D = density; m = mass; and v = volume

Sphere A:

d=\dfrac{m}{v} = \dfrac{24g}{19.4cm^3} = 1.23 g/cm^3

Sphere B:

d=\dfrac{m}{v} = \dfrac{13.6g}{17.0cm^3} = 0.8g/cm^3

So as you can see, only Sphere B has a density less or is less dense than water, so only Sphere B will float.  

5.

The groundskeeper shredding leaves is an application of physical change. As you can see, the identity of the leaves would be the same if you just shred them. Even if they change in shape and size, the leaves are still leaves, only smaller.

6.

A stable atom has the same number of electrons and protons. The number of protons is represented by the atomic number of an element.

Sodium has an atomic number of 11. This means that there are 11 protons (yellow pom poms) in a sodium atom. Since it is stable, you can also say that there are 11 electrons (White pom poms) as well.  

The number of neutrons can be determined by taking a look at the mass number of an atom. The mass number of sodium is 23. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons combined.

23 = p + n

23 = 11 + n

23 - 11 = n

12 = n

The number of neutrons would be 12 (black pom poms).

7.

When two liquids do not mix, this means they are immiscible. The layers are formed because of the difference in density. Remember earlier about density and an object or substance's ability to float? Well it applies here too. The liquid on top is less dense than the one below it, so it floats up and the denser liquid sinks.

8.

Physical properties are things that you can observe using your senses. Chemical properties are properties that you can only observe when chemical structure is changed.

Seat cover has a <u>smooth texture. </u>  

Physical because it was determined by touch.

The front basket of the <u>bike is purple. </u>

Physical because it was determined by sight.

The <u>bike is rusted.</u>

Chemical because the metal changed its chemical structure as a result of a reaction.

9.

The sealed containers represent a closed system, or a vacuum where nothing goes in or out. In a closed system, just remember that matter is not created, nor destroyed. Simply put, this means that whatever it started with is what will it end up with.

In container A you have 1 L of helium gas, so since the container is sealed, none escaped. This means that you will end up with the same amount of helium gas as you did before. The same goes for the 1L of water in container B.
