Answer:

The correct Answer is A) NAD+ acts as an electron transporter.

Explanation:

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is an oxidizing agent – it accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced. It function is more like that of a courier, carrying electrons to the cells that need it to produce and store energy.

This reaction forms NADH, which can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of NAD.

Cheers!

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer –NAD+ acts as an electron transporter.

Explanation:

NAD + (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an organic coenzyme like would see below it is involved mostly in biological oxidation and reduction reactions.

Enzymes that use NAD + /NADH uses it for the following functions;

• Catalyzes important step in glycolysis

• Metabolizes alcohol

• Catalyzes reactions connecting glycolysis to the Krebs cycle

• Catalyzes reactions in muscle and liver cells

• Important in fat catabolism

• Catalyzes reactions in the Krebs cycle, aerobic metabolism

• Catalyzes oxidative phosphorylation reactions.

It should be noted that NAD+ is functions as the electron transporter in the liver

Which is an example of codominance? (1 point)
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

roan coat color in horses

Explanation:

Codominance is one of the Non-mendelian inheritance patterns in genetics i.e. does not follow Mendel's principles of inheritance. Codominance is a phenomenon whereby an allele is neither dominant nor recessive to another in a gene i.e. one allele is not phenotypically expressed over the other. Hence, both alleles are simultaneously expressed in their heterozygous state.

An example of codominance is the roan coat color in horses where the colored (B) and white (W) alleles are both dominant in the coat color gene, hence, the horse expresses both black and white coat phenotypes known as ROAN (BW). The black and white alleles are said to be CODOMINANT.

In 3-5 sentences, describe the human respiratory system and its functions.
Liula [17]

Answer:

The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history. In land animals the respiratory surface is internalized as linings of the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in millions of small air sacs called alveoli in mammals and reptiles, but atria in birds. These microscopic air sacs have a very rich blood supply, thus bringing the air into close contact with the blood. These air sacs communicate with the external environment via a system of airways, or hollow tubes, of which the largest is the trachea, which branches in the middle of the chest into the two main bronchi. These enter the lungs where they branch into progressively narrower secondary and tertiary bronchi that branch into numerous smaller tubes, the bronchioles. In birds the bronchioles are termed parabronchi. It is the bronchioles, or parabronchi that generally open into the microscopic alveoli in mammals and atria in birds. Air has to be pumped from the environment into the alveoli or atria by the process of breathing which involves the muscles of respiration.
