Answer:

The correct option is C) Heparin has its effects reversed with the administration of protamine sulfate.

Explanation:

Heparin is an anticoagulant, that is, it works by decreasing the ability of blood to clot, helping to prevent the formation of clots as well as stopping the subsequent extension of any existing clot. Through the neutralization of thrombin, it prevents the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, and thus, prevents the formation of a stable clot by inhibiting the fibrin stabilizing factor.

Protamine sulfate is a heparin antagonist, forming with it inactive complexes without anticoagulant effect, that is, the protamine, in the presence of heparin, which is acidic in nature, through the formation of stable salts, cancels the anticoagulant effect of both substances, neutralizing and reversing the anticoagulant action of heparin.

Place the following in the correct order as they occur in CELL RESPIRATION.

Goryan [66]

Electrons and h+ ions pop off and are picked up by NADH.
1 C is stripped from 3-C PGA and makes Co2.
Coenzyme A attaches to 2-C molecule making Acetyl Co-A.
Resulting 3 C molecule is stabilized BEFORE entering the mitochondria.
Acetyl Co-A enters mitochondria and drops off 2-C molecules.
In cytosol, 6-C glucose and 2 ATP split into two 3-C molecules (glycolysis).
2-C molecule combines with 4-C molecule and breaks into two 3-C molecules
Krebs cycle spins twice; each time stripping 1 carbon to make Co2 as a by-product.
With each cycle of Krebs, electrons and H+ ions pop off, are picked up by NADH and FADH2 and taken to ETC
4 molecules of ATP are generated.

Both coal and diamonds are forms of elemental carbon. Coal is brittle while diamonds are considered to be the hardest Of all sub

Art [367]

arbon, as with many elements, can arrange its atoms into several different geometries, or "allotropes." In pure diamond, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to exactly 4 other carbon atoms in a very specific and energetically favorable geometry. The diamond cannot be broken or scratched unless many covalent bonds are broken, which is difficult to do. In another common allotrope, graphite, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms, and the atoms are arranged in sheets that are not covalently bonded to each other. The sheets can be broken apart easily, ultimately meaning that graphite can be easily scratched. Coal is composed of particles of different allotropes of carbon, and some "amorphous carbon," which has no defined geometry in its atomic structure. Without a continuous network of covalent bonds, coal is easily scratched (i.e. it is not hard).
