ATP is not generated directly in the citric acid cycle. Instead, an intermediate is first generated by substrate-level phosphorylation. The intermediate is GTP.
<h3>
What is GTP?</h3>
- A purine nucleoside triphosphate is guanosine-5'-triphosphate.
- It serves as one of the components necessary for the creation of RNA during transcription.
- The main distinction between its structure and that of the guanosine nucleoside is the presence of phosphates on the ribose sugar of nucleotides like GTP.
- Also known as guanosine triphosphate, this energy-dense nucleotide is similar to ATP and is made up of guanine, ribose, and three phosphate groups.
- It is required for the creation of peptide bonds during protein synthesis.
- Adenine nitrogenous base, sugar ribose, and triphosphate make up ATP, a nucleoside triphosphate, whereas guanine nitrogenous base, sugar ribose, and triphosphate make up GTP.
- This is the main distinction between the two compounds.
- The alpha-guanosine subunit's diphosphate (GDP) is converted into guanosine triphosphate (GTP), and the GTP-bound alpha-subunit subsequently separates from the beta- and gamma-subunits.

Answer: position of the carbonyl carbon
Explanation:
In the linear structure of sugars having an aldehyde group, are called aldoses, and sugars having a keto group are called ketoses.
Like adehydes H-C=O the carbonyl carbon is the first/last in the chain it is bounded to Hydrogen, double bounded to oxygen and a single bond to the chain. An aldose linear sugar like D-glucose have the carbonyl carbon as it first carbon.
But ketones R-COR the carbonyl carbon is in between the chain, it is bounded to two carbons on both sides. Like D-fructose the keto carbon is the second carbon.
In a open ring structure the 1st carbon, adehyde group is condensed with the hydroxy group (OH) of the 5th carbon forming a ring. The first carbon is now bound to the chain, Hydrogen, OH and oxygen which forms the ring.
In the keto open ring structure of D-fructose, the second carbon(keto group) is condensed with the OH of the 5th carbon
The contractile vacuole expels water out of the cell by contrasting.
Answer:
_Mitosis_ allows the cell to grow larger and replicate its DNA in order to prepare for cell division, known as __meiosis__. The __parent cell_ is the cell that divides to become two new _daughter cells__.
Explanation:
The excerpt explains cell division. Let us define some of the terms used:
Mitosis: Mitosis is a stage in the cell cycle where a parent cell divides/replicates into two identical daughter cells. They are identical because they contain the same number of genetic information after division. Mitosis is responsible for cell growth in all somatic cells
Meiosis: Meiosis is a type of cell division in germ (reproductive) cells where the parent cell divides into two daughter cells which contain half the number of genetic information (haploid) as the parent cell.
Parent cell: This refers to the original cell that undergoes division into two or more daughter cells
Daughter cells: The daughter cells are the resulting cells produced after cell division.
For a better understanding of the whole cell division cycle, please read-up the stages contained in both the mitosis and meiosis.
