Give five examples of gymnosperms and their geographical locations
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, Gnetophyte.

Explanation:

Gymnosperm (naked seeds). These type of plants don´t produce fruits nor flowers, the seeds are not contained within an ovary or fruit. The seeds are exposed on the surface of the leave-like structures named bracts, bracts are modified leafs or scales. The seeds of these type of plants are directly fertilized by pollination since they are open to the air.

Some examples are:

Conifers (cedars, douglas first, cypresses, etc), are distributed in most parts of the world, especially in cold areas. They are specially abundant in the boreal forest of the northern atmosphere.  

Cycads (genus Cycas, genus Bowenia, genius Dioon, etc) are natives of warm regions the Easter and Western hemisphere. They are well distributed in Africa, Australia, South America. They are prominent different species are found in Central America.

Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo) Is native from China.

Gnetophyte (Ephedra, Gnetum, Welwitschia mirabilis, etc) They are found in dry and cool regions in both hemispheres, western and eastern.

Ephedra is distributed in desert areas in the southwestern United States, and some parts in Mexico and South America.

Welwitschia mirabilis, is found in Namib desert of southwestern Africa.

What other cofactors or cosubstrates does the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex require to function?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) is a very high molecular weight mitochondrial multienzyme complex.It includes three types of enzymes that need the participation of five coenzymes to develop their activity, three of them catalytic cofactors (TPP, lipoamide, FAD) and two stoichiometric (NAD and CoA). Two enzymes involved in regulating its activity are also part of the enzyme complex.

Explanation:

PDH is a multienzyme complex formed by multiple copies of three catalytic proteins (E1, E2 and E3) and other structural and regulatory (phosphatase, kinase). It requires, in turn, different coenzymes (thiamine, lipoic acid) for its proper functioning. Given its enormous importance at a key point in energy production, it is highly regulated. E1 depends on thiamine pyrophosphate and catalyzes 2 stages: 1) decarboxylation of pyruvate, forming a hydroxyethyl-thiamine-diphosphate intermediate; 2) reductive acetylation of the lipoyl group, covalently linked (amide) to E2. E2 catalyzes the transfer of the acetyl group to CoA (3). E3 regenerates the oxidized lipoyl, transferring its electrons first to FAD and then to NAD.

What else is missing from this equation that a plant needs in order to do photosynthesis​
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Explanation:

This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products
