Answer: The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

As you can see in every step of the pathway, ATP is not generated directly. Although, in the oxidative phase, molecules of NADPH are produced and these can be used for synthesize ATP indirectly; the NADPH molecules are hihgly demanded in tissues that carry out constantly synthesis of fatty acids, such as liver.

Therefore the correct answer is D.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Here are some possible answers:

Why are watersheds in the Midwest more prone to pollution in than other areas in the country?

What are the current flood and pollution control measures in place in high-risk regions?

What are the flaws with the systems used to control pollution in high-risk regions?

What can the officials and scientists in one region learn from those in another region?

What would the effects on residents be if we made changes to current flood and pollution control measures?

Explanation:

When manure or commercial fertilizers enter surface water, the nutrients they release stimulate microorganism growth. The growth and reproduction of microorganisms reduce the dissolved oxygen content of the water body. Without sufficient dissolved oxygen in surface water, fish and other aquatic species suffocate.

a glass container was initially charged with 1.50 mol of a gas sample at 3.75 atm and 21.7C. some of the gas was release as the
butalik [34]

Answer:

0.39 mol

Explanation:

Considering the ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

At same volume, for two situations, the above equation can be written as:-

\frac {{n_1}\times {T_1}}{P_1}=\frac {{n_2}\times {T_2}}{P_2}

Given ,  

n₁ = 1.50 mol

n₂ = ?

P₁ = 3.75 atm

P₂ = 0.998 atm

T₁ = 21.7  ºC

T₂ = 28.1 ºC

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (21.7 + 273.15) K = 294.85 K  

T₂ = (28.1 + 273.15) K = 301.25 K  

Using above equation as:

\frac{{n_1}\times {T_1}}{P_1}=\frac{{n_2}\times {T_2}}{P_2}

\frac{{1.50\ mol}\times {294.85\ K }}{3.75\ atm}=\frac{{n_2}\times {301.25\ K  }}{0.998\ atm}

n_2=\frac{{1.50}\times {294.85}\times 0.998}{3.75\times 301.25}\ mol

Solving for n₂ , we get:

n₂ = 0.39 mol

Dogs use the same glycolysis and cellular processes as humans use to produce ATP. A young dog has never had much energy. He is b
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

<h2>Dog's mitochondria lack the transport protein that transport  pyruvate ( end product of glycolysis) across the outer mitochondrial  membrane .</h2>

Explanation:

1. As given here that dog's mitochondria can use only fatty acids and also  amino acids for their respiration, and  as compared to others, Dong's cell produce more lactate then normal,  this indicate that his mitochondrial membrane is different then others.  

2. The aerobic phases of cellular respiration in eukaryotes occur within  mitochondria. These aerobic phases are the TCA Cycle and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and the products of glycolysis enter into the mitochondria to continue cellular respiration.

3. These condition shows that dog's mitochondria lack the transport protein of mitochondria that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial  membrane.
