Answer: B.16

Explanation

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used in molecular biology to make millions of copies DNA from a small amount of it. To acomplish this, short segments of DNA called primers are designed to each chain of the DNA that is going to be copied. Then, the DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to theose primers that will be complementary to the DNA chains. After one molecule is amplified, a new molecule is amplified using that one and so on and so forth. <u>Then, 2 chains are amplified in one cycle to get 2 molecules</u> (with two chains each) Thereby, the replication rate of DNA is exponential, then it is calculated as:

1 x (2^4) = 16 DNA molecules.

1= molecule

2= chains per molecule

4= number of cycles

In the citric acid cycle, the acetyl group of each molecule of acetyl-coa is converted into two molecules of ________.
Tatiana [17]

In the citric acid cycle, the acetyl group of each molecule of acetyl-CoA is converted into two molecule of carbon dioxide and water. It is the pathway that connects carbohydrates ,fat and protein metabolism.

The cycle which carried out by eight enzymes that completely oxidase acetate by which two carbon molecules in the form of acetyl -CoA into two carbon dioxide and water molecules.6- carbon glucose molecule is split into two 3- carbon molecules called pyruvate , which needs in order to create acetyl CoA.

Citric acid cycle is also known as krebs cycle or TCA cycle it is the series of chemical reactions to release to releases stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA from carbohydrate, fats and protein.

What is the function of the cytoplasm?
Yakvenalex [24]
The jelly-like fluid that fills a cell is calledcytoplasm<span>. It is made up of mostly water and salt. </span>Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts.<span>Cytoplasm has various functions in the cell. </span>

Most of the important activities of the cell occur in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm contains molecules such as enzymes which are responsible for breaking down waste and also aid in metabolic activity.

<span>Cytoplasm is responsible for giving a cell its shape. It helps to fill out the cell and keeps organelles in their place. Without cytoplasm, the cell would be deflated and materials would not be able to pass easily from one organelle to another.</span>
