Answer: Pyruvate is further oxidized to acetyl CoA before it can enter the Krebs cycle.

Explanation: Pyruvate is a three carbon compound. Before pyruvate can enter the Krebs cycle, it must be oxidized to acetyl CoA and carbon dioxide. The acetyl CoA then enters the Krebs cycle.

This reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation, an irreversible oxidation process in which the carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate as a molecule of carbon dioxide, and the two remaining carbons become the acetyl group of acetyl CoA.

The overall reaction of oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA is catalyzed by an enzyme known as pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

i think that before the Krebs cycle begins, pyruvic acid, which has three carbon atoms, is split apart and combined with an enzyme known as CoA.

Rna processing drag the correct labels under the diagrams to identify the events of rna processing.
Elena-2011 [213]
In the beginning <span>of the RNA strand as a cap, a modified guanine nucleotide is added. After this, there is a removal of those segments of the RNA strand that do not actually code for the protein. And those RNA’s segments that do code for the protein are reconnected. And forking a tail, extra adenine nucleotides are added to the end of the RNA strand. The mRNA or messenger RNA which is already completed will then leave the nucleus. This whole process is called the RNA processing. Before the RNA copy of a protein encoding can be transported out of the nucleus and translated into protein, it must be first be modified in several ways. A precursor of mRNA, pre-mRNA is the primary transcription product of a gene. </span>

Producers are usually the first organisms listed in a food chain. They provide energy to the other organisms in the food chain.
Sliva [168]

Hi!

The answer is C. The Sun

The energy that producers get from the sun, along with water, allows them to begin photosynthesis, the process in which they make their food, because they are not able to absorb other forms of energy because they are plants.

I hope this helps!!

Which of the following stages of the water cycle is most likely to be occurring on a clear Sunny hot day
Anettt [7]

Evaporation

Explanation:

On a hot sunny day, the stage of water cycle most likely occurring is the evaporation stage.

At this stage, a phase change is occurring and liquid water is converted to water vapor in the atmosphere.

  • Evaporation is an important aspect of the water cycle.
  • It is preceded by precipitation and followed by condensation in the atmosphere.
  • Water rises from the surface in gaseous forms and condenses in the atmosphere.
  • This is because it is less dense than the surrounding atmosphere.
