Biology
1 answer:
Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

d. it diffuses into mitochondria to be broken down to generate ATP

Explanation:

When enough oxygen is available in the muscle cells, pyruvate produced by glycolysis enters the mitochondrial matrix. Once inside the mitochondria, pyruvate is decarboxylated into acetyl CoA. The reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase. Acetyl CoA then enters a sequence of reactions called Kreb's cycle and is broken down into CO2 and H2O. The energy released during these reactions is stored in the form of NADH and FADH2.

The NADH and FADH2 are oxidized by giving their electrons to O2 via electron transport chain. During this oxidation, the proton concentration gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane which in turn drives the process of ATP synthesis.

Which of the following is a true statement about tectonic plates?
Nataly [62]
I would go with D as it is closest to correct. Every part of the surface of the Earth is a tectonic plate though. The plates vary in thickness, but all of the surface of the Earth is made up of tectonic plates, including the parts under the ocean. Technically, the Earth's landmass does not rest on the tectonic plates, it IS the tectonic plates, but it is the closest to correct here in my opinion.
