What is the first intermediate compound in the Krebs cycle

Biology

Sidana [21]3 years ago

Answer:

pyruvate

Explanation:

Pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, is  converted to acetyl-CoA, the starting material  for the citric acid cycle, by the pyruvate  dehydrogenase complex. Acetyl-CoA donates its acetyl group  to the four-carbon compound oxaloacetate to form the  six-carbon citrate.

<u>Answer:</u>

Pyruvate is the first intermediate compound in the Krebs cycle.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Pyruvate is the product formed from the glycolysis. In the Krebs cycle the compound pyruvate is converted into acetyl CoA.
  • This is carried out into three steps. The 'Krebs cycle' is also called as the 'citric acid cycle' due to this reason.
  • Multiple molecules of this pyruvic acid are used in yielding the high energy for the process. These chemical reactions are carried out by all anaerobic organisms.

. Consider the following scenarios. State whether the mutation is likely to be passed on to the offspring of the organism. Expla
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is "option a. it is likely it will pass to the offspring; option b. it is not very likely that it will pass to the offspring".

Explanation:

In order that a mutation could be passed to the offspring it is necessary that the affected DNA can be transmitted to the following generation. A single bacteria that contains a positive mutation in its DNA is likely to pass its mutation to the offspring since it multiples by binary fission. On the other hand, a skin cell most likely will not pass its mutation to the offspring since a skin cell is not involved in the organism reproduction, such as a sexual cell.

detection of physical energy by sense organs, which then send info to the brain
- Detection of stimuli by sense organs
- how info gets to our brain = detecting stimuli
- allows us to pick up the signals in our environment
- ex. vision- going through eye to visual cortex and smell - going through nose.

lozanna [386]
Plants inherit genes that enable them to produce chlorophyll, but this pigment is not produced unless the plants are exposed to light. this is an example of how the environment can influence on gene expression.  
<span>
Light has an important role in gene expression in plants by producing a number of light-induced changes. One of the examples of the light effects is that chlorophyll and the proteins required for assembling the photosynthetic apparatus are synthesized together with the enzymes needed for carbon fixation. Gene expression influenced by light includes the regulation at the level of transcription or, alternatively regulation of translation.</span>
