What happens in Citric acid cycle?

Biology
1 answer:
V125BC [204]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Cellular respiration generally involves breaking down of large organic molecules to release ATP (energy). Citric Acid cycle, also known as Kreb's cycle or Tricarboxylic acid cycle is the second stage of the cellular respiration (unique to aerobic organisms). Citric acid cycle occurs in the intracellular space or matrix of the mitochondria of eukaryotes.

Glycolysis, which is the first step of cellular respiration, produces pyruvate which is then converted to Acetyl CoA in order to enter the Kreb's cycle by first combining with oxaloacetate. Generally, citric acid cycle involves an eight-steps reaction consisting of series of reduction-oxidation, hydration, dehydration, decarboxylation reactions, with each step catalyzed by different enzymes.

In a nutshell, oxaloacetate is generated back at the completion of the cycle alongside 2 molecules of CO2, one GTP/ATP molecule and electron donors; NADH2 and FADH2. These reduced electron donors enter the third step of aerobic cellular respiration and act as the first electron donor in the Electron transport chain.

Monosaccharides can be grouped as aldehydes and kefone groups,what is their difference and similarities and list four examples f
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Aldehyde has C=O bonded to atleast one H atom while Ketone has C=O bonded to two carbon atoms

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses

Explanation:

Similarity

Both the aldehyde and ketone have C=O group

Difference

In aldehye the C=O group require atleast one hydrogen atom or the functional group in aldehyde is -CHO

while in ketone the function group is C=O only that is bonded to two carbon atoms.

Example

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses

Explain how a testcross can provide evidence for or against linkage.
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Testcrosses clarify linkage because each phenotypic class of progeny corresponds to each gamete type produced by the dihybrid parent.

Explanation:

  • A test cross involves the crossing of an individual with another phenotypically recessive individual so as to determine the zygosity of the former by analyses of the proportions of offspring phenotypes.
  • In order to determine linkage, the test cross shows that if the parentals are more than the recombinants, we can say that the two genes such as b and c  are genetically linked and therefore, they must be on the same chromosome.
  • Also, the test-crosses help to find out which alleles came from which parent.
  • By setting up testcrosses in which one parent is homozygous for the recessive alleles of both genes,we can analyze the gene combinations received in the gametes from the other, doubly heterozygous parent.
