How many glucose molecules are needed to make 24 acetyls in pyruvate processing?

Chemistry

jekas [21]3 years ago
4 0

Glucose is converted into pyruvate in a process called Glycolysis which aim in production of energy for most of tissues inside our body... then pyruvate is converted into acetyl coA with the help of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme then this acetyl coA enters citric acid cycle for production of more energy 

One Acetyl molecule will be produced form one pyruvic acid. and two pyruvic acid molecule will be formed from one glucose molecule during glycolysis. so from

2 acetyl molecules → one glucose molecules.

For 24 acetyl molecules → ??

24*1/2 = 12.

The answer is 12 Glucose molecules.

Are pure substances chemically combined​
dmitriy555 [2]

Pure substances can or can not be chemically combined.

Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, but not mixture. Mixture are different substances mixing together without being chemically combined, such as air, which is a mixture of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water etc. Mixture can be separated by physical methods, like filtration or decantation.

Meanwhile, elements are the substances that cannot be further separated by any means. No matter physical or chemical methods. Examples of elements are oxygen, hydrogen, neon and all the other ones from the periodic table. Compounds are basically elements joining together, but they’re chemically combined which means their electrons (kind of subatomic particle) are either shared or given away. These elements can only be separated by chemical methods like electrolysis or heating.

Therefore, as long as the substance cannot be separated by physical methods, it can be considered as a pure substance. We can now conclude that pure substance can be (element) or can not be (compound) chemically combined.

Also, remember, light energy (from the sun) is a reactant for photosynthesis. The plant uses water sunlight and carbon dioxide to make sugars as well as oxygen. Plants, the organisms that carry out photosynthesis, are typically the first ate organism is a Food chain and so most other organisms energy came from the plant somehow. But the plant got its energy from the sun.

3. What is the mass of an object with a volume of 4 L and a density of 1.25 g/mL?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

5000g

Explanation:

mass= density × volume

Since the unit of density here is g/mL, we need to convert the volume to mL.

1L= 1000mL

4L= 4 ×1000 = 4000 mL

Mass of object

= 1.25 ×4000

= 5000g
