Answer:

Coordinates biofilm formation via chemical signaling among cells. (Ans B)

Explanation:

Quorum sensing in bacteria uses to regulate certain expressions such as phenotype which in turn, coordinate their behavior. Some common phenotype examples are biofilm formation, motility, and virulence factor expression.

Some bacteria have the ability to use quorum sensing to regulate nitrogen fixation, bioluminescence, and sporulation. Quorum sensing regulates genes involved in biofilm development, it helps to promote biofilm dispersion and upregulates the synthesis of surfactant molecules. Quorum sensing and biofilm development are known as social bacterial behaviors.

"Generally describe the series of events via which pyruvate is further processed after glycolysis (assume that this is in the pr
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The product of glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate. It is a three-carbon compound. This pyruvate again undergoes oxidation in the cytoplasm. This process is called pyruvate oxidation which produces Acetyl CoA. The Acetyl CoA is a two-carbon molecule.

Acetyl CoA again used for the citric acid cycle. This is also called as Kreb's cycle / TCA cycle. Because citric acid has 3 carboxylic groups. The acetyl coenzyme produces NADH, FADH2, ATP. The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. This is an 8 step process. The first product is citric acid. The other products of each step are isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, Fumarate, L - malate, and Oxaloacetate (OAA).

Another process of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain ( ETS). Here the energy stored in NADH, FADH2 in the citric acid cycle are utilized. It is a chain of electron carriers. ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.  

In short, the glucose splits by glycolysis and produces ATP, NADPH, and final product pyruvate. The pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetyle coenzyme. This is used in the TCA / citric acid cycle. In this process also NADH, FADH2 which forms electrons are produced. Theses electrons are carried by different electron carriers and accepted by oxygen.

In the process of pyruvate oxidation 6 ATP, and in Kreb's cycle 18 ATPs, in ETS, 4 ATPs are produced. In addition to this in glycolysis produces 4 ATPs. The total number of ATP in aerobic respiration is 32 ATP.

Andru [333]

Answer: ecosystem

An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living components. A coral reef is an aquatic ecosystem which is formed by a continuous walls of calcium carbonates released by living animals they get combine to form rocks. These rocks and walls are collectively called as hard stony corals. These hard stony corals provide shelter to many aquatic animals like fishes. As the water is the chief abiotic factor along with coral walls and rocks which help in the survival of living organisms therefore, ecosystem is the largest organizational level found in one coral reef.

Answer:

A lunar eclipse can only occur when there is a full moon.

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon, Earth and Sun are aligned on a straight line. This alignment completely blocks the sunlight and moon is under the shadow of Earth. In this phase, moon often look red because of reflection of infrared radiations. This happens only where there is a full moon.

It is not possible to occur moon eclipse in any phase because if sunlight would reach the moon surface directly, it is not a moon eclipse Further, lunar eclipse can last upto a few hours because the shadow of Earth is greater because of its size compared to the moon's size and it takes a while until moon is completely out of that shadow. Lastly, a lunar eclipse doesn't create an eerie color in the sky rather a red color due to infrared radiations.
