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.

During photosynthesis, oxygen is converted to carbon dioxide. True False
andreyandreev [35.5K]
This is false. Carbon dioxide is taken in, and oxygen out. Oxygen is not converted to carbon dioxide. It is a waste of the chemical reaction taking place, just like carbon dioxide is a waste in the respiratory process for us.

I hope this helps!

A part of an mRNA has the sequence CCG. Which change to this sequence
Flauer [41]

Answer:

A single nucleotide changes in CCG which will result in missense mutation can be many possibilities.

Explanation:

Missense mutations  

CCG codes for Proline amino acid

• Mutation in first nucleotide codes for  

 UCG specifically encodes Serine

 ACG specifically encodes Threonine  

 GCG specifically encodes Alanine                              

                                                                                      Missense mutation  

• Mutation in second nucleotide specify for coding

 CUG specifically encodes Leucine

 CAG specifically encodes Glutamine  

 CGG specifically encodes Arginine

• Mutation in Third Nucleotide will not result in missense mutation because any point mutation in third nucleotide of codon will encode same amino acid i.e Proline.
