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

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.

Answer:

there are two types of cell one eukaryotic cell that have true nucleus (genetic material enclosed in membrane) and membrane bounded organelles and other is prokaryotic cell that donot have have true nucleus (genetic material dispersed in cytoplasm) and membrane bounded organelles.

similarities between PC and EC is that both contains cell membrane, ribosomes (not a membrane bounded organelle) .

examples of PC are bacteria , paramecium,fungi etc

examples of EC are plant and animal cells

there are two names for cell membrane i.e plasmalemma, cell surface membrane,

selectively permeable or semipermeable means cell only allows those material to pass through its cell membrane which it needs.this cell'ability is important because to protection against the poisonous substance and to maintain cell needs .
