Pyruvate must first be converted to acetyl co-enzyme A before entering the TCA cycle.
Reaction
Answer:
Meiosis results in gametes that are used in reproduction.
Explanation:
- <em>The sperm and egg have twice as many chromosomes as the parental cells</em>. INCORRECT. Sperm and eggs are the gametes, and they have only half the number of chromosomes that can be found in the germ cells or somatic cells. Gametes are haploid, n.
- <em>Geneticists use the terms "son" and "daughter" to distinguish between cells resulting from cell division</em>. INCORRECT. The term "daughter cells" is used to refer to the products of cell division. "son cells" is not used at all.
- <em>Meiosis results in gametes that are used in reproduction. </em>CORRECT. Germ cells are the reproductive, diploid cells produced by testes and ovaries. After meiosis, each germ cell produces four haploid cells that are the gametes. Gametes´ destiny is to merge during fecundation, creating a new diploid cell called the zygote. The zygote is a diploid cell that suffers successive mitosis to form the new organism.
- <em>Asexual reproduction requires the production of eggs and sperm. </em>INCORRECT. Only sexual reproduction needs gametes. Cells that reproduce asexually duplicate their genetic material and cytoplasmic content and then divide, producing a new cell identical to its parental. This is the case of binary fission, for example.
So, we need to know the concept of saturated and unsaturated
Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double/triple bonds and can absorb more hydrogen atoms.
Saturated fatty acids do not have the above-mentioned properties
The difference between soaps made from vegetable oils and from animal fats are that:
Vegetable oil is unsaturated and therefore the soap is liquid
Animal fats are saturated and therefore the soap is more solid
