Answer:
It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule.
Explanation:
Acetyl-CoA(2C) associates with oxalacetate(4C) to form citric acid(6C). Then through redox reactions, CO2 molecules result from decarboxylation (COOH becomes R-(R1)CH-R2). And through dehydrogenation H2 molecules are incorporated in NADH+ in FADH2, resulting in the 4-carbon molecule at the beginning (oxalacetate). That's why it's called a cycle(Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle)
D. Increasing the pH within the cell.
Maltose is also known as malt sugar and commonly found in germinating grains. Thus, maltase is enzyme that split the disaccharides maltose into two glucose molecules and can be found within the small intestine of vertebrates which includes human and animals. However, increase in pH of the cell will generally result in incomplete loss of enzyme activities thereby slowing down the enzyme reactions.
Respiration using oxygen to break down food molecules is called aerobic respiration. 'Aero' means air, which contains oxygen, leading to the name aerobic respiration. Glucose is the molecule normally used for respiration - it is the main respiratory substrate. Glucose is oxidised to release its energy, which is then stored in ATP molecules.
The word equation for aerobic respiration is:
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ ATP made)
You need to be able to recognise the chemical formulas:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
