Answer:

12 molecules of ATP can be made from one molecule of acetyl CoA.

Explanation:

If one molecule of acetyl CoA enter TCA cycle then it result in the formation of 3 molecules of NADH,1 molecule of FADH2 and 1 molecule of GTP that is equivalent to 1 molecule of ATP.

                        Now the reducing equivalent such as NADH and FADH2 enters electron transport chain and get oxidized to regenerate NAD+ and FAD along with ATP. 1 molecule of NADH produces 3 molecules of ATP whereas 1 molecule of FADH2 produces 2 molecules of ATP.

               So that net gain of ATP is given below

3 molecules of NADH = 9 molecules of ATP

1 molecule of FADH2 =2 molecules of ATP

1 molecule of GTP = 1 molecule of ATP

As a result total 12 molecules of ATP is by the oxidation of 1 Acetyl CoA  by TCA cycle .

How does cytokinesis differ in animal and plant cells? What is it called in each? Use a picture to help your explanation.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:Plants - cell wall forms.

Animals - cleavage furrow forms

Explanation:Cytokinesis occurs in mitosis and meiosis for both plant and animal cells. The ultimate objective is to divide the parent cell into daughter cells.

In plants , this occurs when a cell wall forms in between the daughter cells.

In animals , this occurs when a cleavage furrow forms. This pinches the cell in half.

complete the following scentence with the best phrase below removing just one species from an ecosystem
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Removing just one species can be a disturbance

Explanation:

Ecosystem consists of a diverse organism and there is a complex interactions between those organisms.For instance if plant species keeps on growing and the animals which exists by consuming these plants suppose if such animal population grows then there will be reduction in the plant population Ecosystem contains many such dependencies.Therefore removing just one species can cause a disturbance to the biodiversity of an ecosystem.
