Glucose labeled with 14C in C-3 and C-4 is completely converted to acetyl-CoA via glycolysis and the pyruvate dehydrogenase comp

lex. What percentage of the acetyl-CoA molecules formed will be labeled with 14C, and in which position of the acetyl moiety will the 14c label be found?
a) 100% of the acetyl-CoA will be labeled at C-1 (carboxyl).
b) 100% of the acetyl-CoA will be labeled at C-2
c) 50% of the acetyl-CoAwill be labeled, all at C-2 (methyl).
d) No label will be found in the acetyl-CoA molecule
e) Not enough information is given to answer this question.

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

The production of Acetyl-CoA takes place by the dissociation of both carbohydrates and lipids in the process of glycolysis and beta-oxidation. It then moves into the TCA cycle in the mitochondria and combines with oxaloacetate to give rise to citrate.  

In the given case, no labeling will be found in the acetyl-CoA. The labeled C3 and C4 carbon of glucose signify the carboxyl carbon of pyruvate. In the succeeding reactions of the transformation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, the carboxyl carbon gets lost in the form of carbon dioxide. Thus, acetyl-CoA does not comprise any labeled C3 and C4 of glucose.

Use your understanding of the nitrogen cycle to answer the questions provided.
Archy [21]

Answer:

The nitrogen cycle could not exist without the presence of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms.

Explanation:

As part of the biogeochemical cycles that occur in nature, the nitrogen cycle involves all the organic and non-organic processes that allow the incorporation of this element into the organism of living beings.

Although nitrogen is abundant in nature, in gaseous form, living beings cannot take advantage of it, because they lack the ability to convert this gas into organic nitrogen. Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms -such as bacteria in the soil- turn inorganic nitrogen into organic, that incorporates plants.

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria exist in both soil and plant roots. They are responsible for the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen and ammonium, the product of the degradation of organic matter, into nitrites and nitrates that assimilate the plants. Herbivorous animals obtain this nitrogen from vegetables, and carnivores from them.
