Which process connects glycolysis and the citric acid cycle?

Biology

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.

The mining of oil shale requires LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER.
The processing of oil shale require large amount of water which is needed for the processing activities of oil shale. This is a big challenge to the mining of oil shale because most of oil shale deposits are found in semi arid regions where water is scarce.<span />

The distribution of related animals and plants across the world
iragen [17]

The distribution of related animals and plants across the world shows that those organisms have common ancestor.

There is a term in biology- the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) and it is the most recent individual from which all the organisms are directly descended. It is hard for scientist to identify the exact MRCA, but it is estimated the time at which the MRCA lived (3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago). It is called Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA).

Which of the following properties does NOT play a role in trees growing to towering heights by moving water from roots to leaves
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Water absorbing energy in large amounts to increase energy by a degree of temperature

Explanation:

The growth of trees to towering heights has to do with the formation of plant cell walls which are built by the aggregation Glucose molecules to form Cellulose molecules. The cellulose molecules further combines to form microfibrils by forming hydrogen bonding. The microfibrils that combine to make cell walls

Therefore, the growth of a tree is dependent on the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules to enable uptake of water into the plants which enable photosynthetic reaction that result in the formation of glucose

The transpiration, which is the conversion of water into vapor or gas at the leaves facilitates the uptake of more water for the formation of more glucose molecules and creation of hydrogen bonds

The hydrogen bonds between chlorophyll molecules is facilitated by forming hydrogen bond with water molecules.
