Answer: acetyl-CoA

Explanation:

Glucose plays a central role in energy and carbohydrate metabolism. Glycolysis - Route of degradation of 1 molecule of Glucose in 2 of Pyruvate. Pyruvate can follow 3 paths:

1) Be reduced to Ethanol - Alcoholic fermentation

2) Be reduced to Lactate - Lactic Fermentation

3) Be completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O - Citric Acid Cycle (Performed by animals, vegetables and many microbial cells under aerobic conditions). Glycolysys is linked to the citric acid cycle via the production of acetyl-CoA.

Under aerobic conditions, however, pyruvate is not reduced but rather oxidized in the mitochondria by enzymatic complex pyruvate dehydrogenase (also called pyruvate decarboxylase) with the formation of acetyl-CoA and the release of one molecule of CO2 per every peroxidized pyruvate.

How would you know if starch molecules and glucose molecules diffused out of the artificial cell?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:To test whether iodine or starch have crossed the synthetic membrane, you will look for a change in color. A solution of iodine is tan and a solution of starch is clear or milky white; when iodine and starch are together in the same solution, the solution is purple, dark blue or black.

In some pedigrees, such as this one, the generations

Marina CMI [18]

Since the trait is dominant, it is possible for his parents to be heterozygous (Bb). So they have the trait but they have a gene they can pass on with out it. If both of his parents Bb then he could’ve gotten both recessive and therefore not receive the trait

Write a short story describing the application of the system of classification of living creatures

Citrus2011 [14]

All living creatures are classified into systems and sub-systems based on their similar characteristics. They are divided from bigger groups into smaller groups based on the detail of their similarities i.e. how they look, move, reproduce and how they relate to each other. A practical way of understanding the classification of living organisms is that organisms are linked to other similar organisms via family trees. The classification of all living creatures includes at least four levels: order, families, genus and species.
