Answer:
A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Explanation:
Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).
Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.
Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism
The answer is omnivore, because it eats plants and animals
The brief description of the project is called Abstract.
Option B.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
An abstract is defined as a brief description of the project or content of an article, speech, or a book. An abstract is given at the beginning of the book or project to describe what's the topic of the project, what the project is going to prove, or to explain.
An introduction on the other hand is a description about the project topic, the prevailing idea, or explaining the topic of project.
A reference is described as the source from where the data of the project are collected or hints are taken.
A summary is the paragraph briefly describing the project conclusion at the end of the project, to briefly explain everything about the project.
