People with O+ blood cannot donate their blood to negative blood types, while people with O- blood can donate to any blood type. This makes them the "universal donor." However, they can only receive O- blood.

The difference between the O+ blood type and the O- blood type is that even though they both belong to the blood group O, the O+ type has rhesus factor (an antigen which may be present on the blood) on the red blood cells while O- does not have Rhesus Factor on the red blood cells.

O- can only get blood from O- donors because the O- red blood cell would have no antigen on it (neither the A, B or Rhesus Factor Antigen).  As a result if they obtain blood from any other blood type then their white blood cells would attack the red blood cells due to the the presence of foreign bodies in the form of the antigen on that blood.

In the Krebs Cycle of cellular respiration, pyruvate is used to make
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

b. carbon dioxide

Explanation:

This metabolic pathway is called the Krebs cycle after the scientist who first discovered it in 1937. The Krebs cycle is further broken down by pyruvic acid, obtained in the glycolysis process. The process proceeds in two stages. The first is the degree of decomposition of the bicarbonate residue.

The Krebs cycle is the main metabolic pathway for the breakdown of organic matter and the production of energy in the form of reduced coenzymes, which will then be incorporated into ATP.
