A gene is physically located on a _____ in the nucleus of a cell.

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is DNA. DNA is vital for all living beings and this is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine. There are three main functions of DNA to our body, this facilitate occurring mutations and even in a single nucleotide. Then it forms RNA and proteins and this exchange the genetic material of parental chromosomes during meiotic cell.

When your cells use fat for energy, the fatty acids are broken up into molecules of acetyl COA. Predict how many ATP can be made

IgorC [24]

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 .

<h2>Function of The Cell Membrane</h2>

Explanation:

There are a few unique kinds of this simple development of particles. It could be as basic as atoms moving uninhibitedly, for example, assimilation or dispersion.
Proteins are utilized to help move atoms all the more rapidly. It is a procedure called encouraged dispersion.
It could be as straightforward as acquiring a glucose particle. Since the cell film won't permit glucose to cross by dispersion.
The cells are in a zone where there is a huge focus contrast. For instance, oxygen particle focuses could be exceptionally high outside of the cell and extremely low inside.
Those oxygen particles are little to such an extent that they can cross the lipid bilayer and enter the cell.
This is a water explicit procedure. For the most part, cells are in a domain where there is one convergence of particles outside and one inside.
Since focuses like to be the equivalent, the cell can siphon particles in an out to remain alive. Assimilation is the development of water over the layer
