Indirectly, by converting glucose to acetyl CoA.

Explanation:

When excess carbohydrate is consumed it gets converted to glycogen or fatty acids.

The glucose stores fatty acids by the process of lipogenesis. In this process the end product of glycoloysis ie pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA. This triglyceride stores the fat in adipose tissues.

In the time of need glucose is brought to use by glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.

So, the excess fat gets converted and stored as long chain fatty acid and gets incorporated in phospholipids, cholestrol and triacyglycerol.

Explanation:cell division occurs to produce new cells from preexisting ones. the new cells are called daughter cells.the old cells are called parent cells.cell division may be mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis occurs in a somatic cell and produce four daughter cell. Meiosis occurs in sex cells and produce two daughter cells. Cell division usually involves Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Cell division occurs to ensure the continous existence of life.

Mitosis involve producing daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells while meiosis involves producing daughter cells with Half number of chromosomes.

Arizona was the site of a 400,000-acre wildfire in June 2002. How much carbon dioxide (CO2) was produced into the atmosphere by

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

2.97 × 10¹³ g

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the biomass the is burned. We can establish the following relations:

2.47 acre = 10,000 m²
10 kg of C occupy an area of 1 m²
50% of the biomass is burned

The biomass burned in the site of 400,000 acre is:

$400,000acre\times\frac{10,000m^{2} }{2.47acre} \times \frac{10kgC}{m^{2} } \times 50\% = 8.10 \times 10^{9} kgC$

Let's consider the combustion of carbon.

C(s) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g)

We can establish the following relations:

The molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol
1 mole of C produces 1 mole of CO₂
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol

The mass of produced is CO₂:

$8.10 \times 10^{12}gC \times \frac{1molC}{12.01gC} \times \frac{1molCO_{2}}{1molC} \times \frac{44.01gCO_{2}}{1molCO_{2}} =2.97 \times 10^{13} gCO_{2}$
