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.

Answer is at the very end

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the asteroid = 10 x 10⁹kg

Distance between the asteroid = 850km

Unknown:

Force = ?

Solution:

We can predict the outcome of this reduction in distance between the two masses using the newton's law of universal gravitation.

The law states that "the gravitational force of attraction between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".

 Mathematically, we have;

          F =

F is the gravitational force

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻²

m is the mass of the body

r is the distance between them.

 From this, we know that as the separation increases, the force of gravitation will reduce since the mass is constant.

The distance between the two asteroids decreased from 1000km to 850km, this will increase the force of attraction between them and we expect the force to be higher than 6700N.

 At 1000Km, force = 6700N,

 since as the distance reduces the force increases, we expect the force to be about 9200N.

Let us verify this by plugging the values into the equation:

       F =

      F = 9200N
