If C-1 of glucose is radiolabeled and the glucose then enters glycolysis, what percentage of the pyruvate molecules will carry t

he radioactive label? (Answer with a number only.)

Talja [164]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Glucose is a simple sugar with a total of 6 carbon atoms in its structure. Pyruvate has a total of three carbon atoms. Two molecules of pyruvate are obtained per glucose by glycolysis.  None of the carbon of glucose is released in the form of CO2 during glycolysis. Therefore, the radio-labeled C-1 of glucose will be the component of the carbon skeleton of one of the total of two pyruvate molecules produced during glycolysis. So, 50% of the pyruvate will exhibit radioactivity.

What plane would you make if you divided a thanksgiving turkey into equal right and left halves?
nasty-shy [4]
<span>In anatomical terms, this plane would be known as the midsaggital plane. This plane bisects the body of the organism along its midline, yielding two symmetrical halves. Since such a plan would run right along the ribcage of the turkey, dividing it as such, it would be the accurate anatomical descriptor for such a division.</span>

Describe the procedure of water reaching the leaves from the roots of a plant
Lisa [10]
The water enters the xylem first by osmosis. Water moves from the soil to the root hair cell down a water potential gradient, and to the root cortex cell from a higher water potential to a lower water potential, this process will be repeated until water enters xylem. Because transpiration is occurring in the leaf, water is lost so there is a lower water potential inside the leaf. Osmosis moves water from the xylem to the leaf because the xylem has a higher water potential. Water moves from the xylem to the cells of the leaf. This pulls water up the xylem via cohesion which is the process of water molecules attracting each other and sticking together. Water does not fall down the xylem as here is adhesion which is the process of water molecules sticking to the inside of the xylem.
