Answer

It takes several redox reactions in a cell to make water from hydrogen and oxygen because hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively when a single reaction

Explanation

Molecules of hydrogen react with oxygen violently to break the initial molecular bonds and form new one between the atoms of the two elements. The reaction results into an explosive release of energy and the production of water because the products of the reaction are at a lower energy level.

Amino acid catabolism involves the breakdown of 20 amino acids all of which contain nitrogen but have different carbon skeletons
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The overall strategy employed in the catabolism of the carbon skeletons of the 20 amino acids is conversion to citric acid intermediates such as acetyl-CoA

Explanation:

The breakdown of the  different carbon skeletons of the 20 amino acids is strategically channelled  towards the citric acid cycle. Six major products are obtained in the catabolism of the carbon chain of amino acids and these products all enter the citrc acid cycle. The six major products are acetyl-CoA, α-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, oxaloacetate and pyruvate.

The amino acids that are broken down completely into acetoacetyl-CoA and/or acetyl-CoA are said to be ketogenic since they yield ketone bodies in the liver.

The amino acids that are broken down into α-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, oxaloacetate and pyruvate can be converted to glucose and glycogen and are said to be glucogenic. Pyruvate can further be converted to either acetyl-CoA or oxaloacetate. Some amino acids though are both ketogenic and glucogenic, e.g. tryptophan, threonine.

During MEIOSIS, an event called crossing over occurs. Explain what happens during this event.​
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

During meiosis, an event known as chromosomal crossing over sometimes occurs as a part of recombination. In this process, a region of one chromosome is exchanged for a region of another chromosome, thereby producing unique chromosomal combinations that further divide into haploid daughter cells.
