What makes carbon special chemically?

Biology
2 answers:
FrozenT [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules. Having the atomic number 6, every carbon atom has a total of six electrons.

Provide an example of how cells balance the redox potential between different cellular components?
crimeas [40]

En la respiración celular, la célula depende totalmente de las reacciones Redox, para ser precisos de la reducción del NAD a NADH y la oxidación de NADH a NAD.

Ahora veamos una situación diferente.

En la fotosíntesis, ocurre la reacción inversa de redox, como se muestra en la siguiente ecuación:

6CO2 + 6H2O + E --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

La energía biológica se almacena y se lanza con la frecuencia por medio de reacciones redox. La fotosíntesis implica la reducción del CO2 en azucares y la oxidación del H2O en oxigeno molecular (O2), mientras que en la respiración es lo inverso, la oxidación de azucares a CO2 y H2O.

Entre los pasos redox de la fotosíntesis, compuestos deducidos del CO2 reducen el NAD lo que crea entonces, la creación gradiente de protones, que conduce a la síntesis del ATP y es mantenida por la oxidación del O2.

En los seres vivos, el término redox se utiliza para describir el equilibrio NAD-NADH y NADP-NADPH.

El estado redox contribuye al equilibrio de los sistemas metabólicos. En el caso de alteraciones en las reacciones redox, puede producirse HIPOXIA, que es el déficit del O2 en la sangre, CHOQUE, que es el mal circulamiento de lal sangre y la SEPSIS.

I NEED HELP BAD..... Energy from the sun comes from nuclear fusion. What happens during that reaction?
fomenos

The Sun is a main-sequence star, and thus generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. In its core, the Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen each second. The nuclear binding energy curve.

Given a population that contains genetic variation, what is the correct sequence of the following events under the influence of
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

2. A change occurs in the environment.

4. Poorly adapted individuals have decreased survivorship.

1. Well-adapted individuals leave more offspring than do poorly adapted individuals.

3. Genetic frequencies within the population change.

Explanation:

The natural selection theory was developed by Darwin to explain how evolution occur within a population. The environment is in constant state of changes and always select for organisms that are better adapted to it.

Poorly adapted organisms gradually reduce from the population as a result of decreased survival while well-adapted individuals multiply and contribute more to successive generation.

Well-adapted individuals pass on the adaptive alleles to their offspring, eventually leading to a change in gene frequencies within the population.

Hence, the sequence of events is 2, 4, 1 and 3.
