The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl−CoA and CO 2 . CO2. Multi

ple copies of pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2), and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3) along with five cofactors form the PDH complex. Biochemists have studied the PDH complex for decades, in part due to its interesting use of substrate channeling during catalysis. What is the benefit of substrate channeling?
The PDH active site forms in the hydrophobic core of the complex instead of a surface-exposed region.
Reaction progress is not limited by the diffusion constant.
Intermediates of a multistep reaction sequence do not dissociate from the enzyme complex.
The PDH complex sequesters excess substrate to use at later time.
Every intermediate or product made by the PDH complex enters the citric acid cycle as a substrate.

Answer:Intermediates of a multistep reaction sequence do not dissociate from the enzyme complex.

Explanation:

Substrate channeling is the moving of intermediate metabolic product of one enzyme to another enzyme without it be lost to another enzyme.

Channeling makes metabolic pathway more fast and efficient that it will be when the enzyme are at random.

It avoid the use up of intermediate formed by other reaction catalyze by another enzyme.

For pyruvate dehydrogenase channeling prevent the intermediate from dissolving and been used up by other reaction.

Chloride ions, Cl-, follow actively transported Na+ ions from the nephrons into the blood. Would you not expect the Cl- concentr
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Bicarbonate ion, HCO3- (which has a similar charge to chloride ions) also follow sodium ions into the blood. Also, potassium ions, K+ are transported into the nephron so some chloride ions and bicarbonate ions remains in the nephron to balance the charge.

Explanation:

Sodium is the primary positively charged electrolyte in extracellular fluid. Most of the solute reabsorbed in the proximal tubule is in the form of sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride. Water is also reabsorbed in order to balance osmotic pressure

When sodium ions are reabsorbed into the blood, few of the substances that are transported with Na+ on the membrane facing the lumen of the tubules include Cl- ions, Ca2+ ions, amino acids, and glucose. Sodium is actively exchanged for K+ using ATP on the basal membrane.

In the distal convoluted tubule, K+ and H+ ions are selectively secreted into the filtrate, while Na+, Cl-, and HCO3- ions are reabsorbed to maintain pH and electrolyte balance in the blood.

Some chloride ions remains in the nephron to balance the charge of the secreted K+ ions and also due to the bicarbonate ions that are removed.

Before classifying insects into different orders, review the larger classifications for insects:
sukhopar [10]

For an organism to be classified in the animal kingdom it is necessary for that organism to be eukaryotic and multicellular. In addition, he must not be able to produce his own food (he must be heterotrophic), and must eat by eating food taken from the environment.

To be classified in the dilo arthropoda, the organism must have an external skeleton, a segmented body and articulated legs.

To be classified in the insect class, the organism must have a separate body in the head, chest and abdomen, have two antennae, two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs.
