If pyruvate-2-14C (pyruvate with the middle carbon atom radioactively labeled) is provided to actively respiring mitochondria, m

ost of the radioactivity will be incorporated into citrate. Trace the route whereby radioactively labeled carbon atoms are incorporated into citrate, and indicate where in the citrate molecule the label will first appear.

Answer:

The middle carbon atom of pyruvate in the TCA cycle becomes the carboxyl carbon of acetate and hence the newly added (upper) carboxyl group in citrate

Explanation:

Before entering the TCA cycle, pyruvate is converted into Acetyl-CoA by  oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate. 1st two carbons of glucose to be fully oxidized. This reaction is catalyzed by Pyruvate dehydrogenase.

The middle carbon atom of the pyruvate in the TCA cycle becomes the carboxyl carbon of the acetate as the carboxyl group is removed from the pyruvate , releasing CO2. NAD is reduced to NADH. Acetyl group is transferred to coenzyme-A , resulting in acetyl coA

Answer:

Explanation:

- Fertilizer during runoff

- Heat, and radiative chemicals

- Yards and runoff

- Heating the water if run by steam by pumping the waste into rivers

- The clean water act focuses on navigation and water as in fishing, and swimming water while the safe drinking water act dictates how water comes to our cups from their original sources.

- You can get information by any sites locally about disposing chemical waste or any government website ending in .gov

- Home waters including sewage have to be filtered through heavy chemical processes using extra waters and factories. our clean water volume is plummeting.

A human lost at sea without fresh drinking water is effectively lost in an osmotic desert. why would drinking salt water be harm
Grace [21]
Drinking salt water is harmful because it messes up the salt concentration in each of your red blood cells. It over loads the salt in it and causes the cell to swell up and burst due to it trying to let in more water to balance the salt concentration out.

What is the basic difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion across a cell membrane? hints?
Licemer1 [7]

Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.  

Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.  

The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:  

They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).  

They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.

Oils are lipid that contain
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

ADD and are organic compounds

Explanation:

Lipids that contain an ester functional group are hydrolysable in water. These include neutral fats, waxes, phospholipids, and glycolipids. Fats and oils are composed of triglycerides, made up of glycerol (1,2,3-trihydroxypropane) and 3 fatty acids to form a triester.
