Pyruvate is a direct precursor of anapleurotic reactions which produce which intermediates of the tca cycle?

Biology
1 answer:
Virty [35]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is:  oxaloacetate

Anaplerotic reactions are chemical reactions that form intermediates that can be used in the further steps of metabolic pathways. These reactions are very important, because it is crucial for the cell to regulate concentrations of TCA cycle metabolites and intermediates.

The reaction in which pyruvate is converted to oxaloacetate is catalyzed by pyruvate carboxylase and it occurs in mitochondria. Also, pyruvate can be converted to L-malate, in a similar way.

How does a universal genetic code relate to the hypotheses about the origin of life on earth
Vikentia [17]
The referenced universal genetic code is understood to be DNA. Its multilevel coded intelligent design structure is a complex information system more complex than anything else in the universe and considerably more complex than anything humans have ever produced. The DNA structure is comprised of homochiral amino acids and pentose sugars that cannot be created through any naturalistic processes.

It is estimated that the the simplest organism is comprised of 600-1500 gene products, requiring >1 million nucleotides to properly decode and produce the proteins, RNA, enzymes and ribosomes that the cell is structured of.

Abiogenesis, the naturalistic hypothesis for the origin of life, has no explanation for the origin of life processes required to produce life. The intelligent designed DNA is proof of the existence of God, the creator of the universe and life.

Which of the following molecular motors is associated with intermediate filaments?
azamat

Answer: d. none of the other answers

Explanation:

Enzymes that turn chemical energy into mechanical work are molecular motors.

There are three main components of cytoskeleton including microtubules, actin filaments and Intermediate filaments. Only actin  filaments and microtubules carry the motor-driven transport on the cytoskeleton.

The most important feature of intermediate filaments is to provide the plasma membrane with mechanical support where it comes into contact with the extracellular matrix and other cells.

Unlike microtubules and microfilament , intermediate filaments are not involved in motility of the cells, hence do not associat with molecular motors.

Hence, the correct option is d.
