The present continent positions are not the same as their ancient positions. For example, Africa and South America used to be together in the old Gondwanaland. Alfred Wegener noticed the correlation in complementary forms of the coast lines of these two continents and developed the theory of continental drift. But it wasn't until the late 1960's or early 1970's that the mechanism for this movement was discovered in the theory of plate tectonics. Actually, it was shown that the mid-oceanic ridges like the one going through Iceland is where molten rock is welling up from the mantle on a zone of fracturing and the convection currents from this cause the ocean spreading and thus the movement of continents away from each other as in the case of Africa and South America.

Help please!........................................................
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The correct order would be

  • Glucose
  • ATP→ADP
  • H₂O
  • Pyruvate
  • CO₂

Explanation:

Following reactions occur in Glycolysis and Kreb's Cycle

  1. Phosphorylation of Glucose- In the first step of glycolysis, Glucose is converted into Glucose-6-Phosphate using 1 ATP molecule by Hexokinase enzyme. One phosphate group from ATP is attached to glucose by the enzyme, thus forming ADP.
  2. Dehydration- In the ninth step of Glycolysis, each of two molecules of  2-Phosphoglycerate are converted to Phosphoenol Pyruvate, by Enolase enzyme, releasing two H₂O molecules.
  3. Formation of Pyruvate- In the last or tenth step of Glycolysis, each of two molecules of Phosphoenol Pyruvate are converted to Pyrutave using an ATP by the enzyme Pyruvate Kinase.
  4. Oxidation Of Pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA- Before the Kreb's Cycle starts, the Pyruvate molecule obtained from the Glycolysis undergoes oxidative decarboxylation producing Acetyl-CoA and release of CO₂ and NADH.
