The oxidation of pyruvate is not the only process that generates acetyl-CoA. In particular, fatty acids are broken down through

oxidation, generating a great deal of acetyl-CoA, which can also enter the TCA cycle to generate high energy molecules. Is there a difference between between the TCA cycle using acetyl-CoA generated from fatty acid oxidation compared to that generated from carbohydrate oxidation?
A. The concentration of malate increases when reacting with acetyl-CoA derived from a fatty acid,
B. A molecule of acetyl-CoA derived from a fatty acid generates more FADH2 than acetyl-CoA from
C. A molecule of acetyl-CoA derived from a carbohydrate generates more NADH than acetyl-CoA but not when reacting with acetyl-CoA derived from a carbohydrate. WI derived from a carbohydrate derived from a fatty acid.
D. There is no difference in the TCA cycle, regardless of the source of acetyl-CoA.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. There is no difference in the TCA cycle,regardless  of source of acetyl CoA.

Explanation:

Acetyl CoA is the central metabolite of aerobic respiration.Acetyl CoA is generated from both decarboxylation of pyruvate and from the beta oxidation of fatty acid in mitochondrial matrix.

            In both cases the generated Acetyl CoA molecule is same but it comes from different source.

  If the Acetyl CoA generated from beta oxidation of fatty acid enter into the TCA cycle it will generate same molecules of NADP and FADH2 as that of Acetyl CoA generated from carbohydrate metabolism

What is the total charge of the nucleus of a carbon atom?<br> (1) –6 (3) +6<br> (2) 0 (4) +12
NeX [460]
Carbon atomic number ⇒ 6
Carbon mass number ⇒ 12.

Carbon atomic number - Carbon mass number = number of neutrons.
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons.

Proton charge ⇒ +1

The total charge of the nucleus of a carbon atom ⇒⇒⇒ +6.

So the naswer is (3) +6

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Mass =  42.8g

Explanation:

4 NH 3 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 4 NO ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g )

Observe that every 4 mole of ammonia requires 5 moles of oxygen to obtain 4 moles of Nitrogen oxide and 6 moles of water.

Step 1: Determine the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is already given.

Step 2: Convert all given information into moles (through the use of molar mass as a conversion factor).

Ammonia = 63.4g × 1mol / 17.031 g = 3.7226mol

Oxygen = 63.4g × 1mol / 32g = 1.9813mol

Step 3: Calculate the mole ratio from the given information. Compare the calculated ratio to the actual ratio.

If all of the 1.9831 moles of oxygen were to be used up, there would need to be 1.9831 × 4 / 5 or 1.5865 moles of Ammonia. We have 3.72226 moles of ammonia - Far excess. Because there is an excess of Ammonia, the Oxygen amount is used to calculate the amount of the products in the reaction.

Step 4: Use the amount of limiting reactant to calculate the amount of H2O produced.

5 moles of O2  = 6 moles of H2O

1.9831 moles = x

x = (1.9831 * 6 ) / 5

x = 2.37972 moles

Mass of H2O = Molar mass * Molar mass

Mass = 2.7972 * 18

Mass =  42.8g
