Of the three salivary glands (Sublingual, submandibular and parotid glands), the parotid is the largest. They are all paired.  The parotids are located on either side of the mandibular ramus. It produces ptyalin, an alpha-amylase, and is responsible for 20% of the total saliva content produced into the mouth.

Which of these is a density-independent factor?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

ExplanatThe geometric or exponential growth of all populations is eventually curtailed by food availability, competition for other resources, predation, disease, or some other ecological factor. If growth is limited by resources such as food, the exponential growth of the population begins to slow as competition for those resources increases. The growth of the population eventually slows nearly to zero as the population reaches the carrying capacity (K) for the environment. The result is an S-shaped curve of population growth known as the logistic curve. It is determined by the equation As stated above, populations rarely grow smoothly up to the …(100 of 4579 words)

When NADH passes its electrons into the Electron Transport System, NADH is chemically:
erik [133]

Answer:

Option D, oxidized

Explanation:

The NADH gets oxidised when it passes its electrons into the Electron Transport System

Oxidization is a process in which one element or compound loses its electron to other chemical element or compound thereby itself getting oxidised and reducing the other one (the one who gains the electron).

Here in the electron transport system, the NADH loses or donates its electron to the Electron Transport System thus chemically it gets oxidized.

Hence, option D is correct

Glucose labeled with 14C in C-3 and C-4 is completely converted to acetyl-CoA via glycolysis and the pyruvate dehydrogenase comp
Morgarella [4.7K]

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.
