2a) Which of the following statements about pyruvate oxidation IS TRUE?
Darina [25.2K]

The true statements are:

  • Substrate level phosphorylation ocvurs during Pyruvate oxidation
  • 32 ATP molecules can be made by cellular respiration but only 2 ATP molecules when oxygen is lacking
  • Electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity in the electron transport chain
  • ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria during oxidative phosphorylation
  • ATP inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase by feedback inhibition

<h3>What is glucose oxidation?</h3>

Glucose oxidation refers to the process in the cells in which glucose molecules are oxidized to form ATP and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen.

The first stage of glucose oxidation is the conversion to pyruvate.

Pyruvate is oxidized to acetylCoA.

AcetylCoA enters the citric acid cycle to produce reducing equivalents, NADH for the electron transport chain.

  • The true statements about pyruvate oxidation is that there is substrate level phosphorylation during the process
  • When there is sufficient oxygen, 36 ATP molecules can be made (theoretically) by cellular respiration. However, when oxygen is lacking, only 2 ATP molecules are made.
  • In the electron transport chain of cellular respiration, electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity
  • During oxidative phosphorylation, ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria
  • Aerobic respiration can be regulated by feedback inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase by ATP.

The glenoid cavity is where the Select one: a. clavicle articulates with the scapula. b. clavicle articulates with the sternum.
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The glenoid cavity is where the d. humerus articulates with the scapula.

Explanation:

The scapula is the bone that contains the glenoid cavity. The glenoid cavity is a part of the shoulder. This cavity forms the glenohumeral joint along with the humerus. The Humerus is a long bone of the upper arm, and the scapula articulates with this bone to form a ball and socket joint at the shoulder. These are all bones forming the shoulder girdle and upper extremities.

What is the function of the Type II alveolar cell?
hoa [83]

Answer: The function of the Alveolar type II cells is that they secrete a lipoprotein material that is known as surfactant.  The  primary function of the surfactant is to reduce the surface tension in the alveoli.

Explanation:

Type II have an important function Type II as they secrete pulmonary surfactant in order to lessen the surface tension of water and allows the membrane to separate, therefore increasing its capability to exchange gases.
