2. In the citric acid cycle, malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase, which uses NAD+ as an electr

on acceptor. In cells, the ratio of [NAD+]/[NADH] is kept very high. Given the following standard reduction potentials, explain why it is so important for cells to maintain this ratio. Justify your answer with words, equations and diagrams.

Answer:

NAD+ act both as coenzyme as well as electron acceptor compound and get reduced to NADH by accepting electron.

Explanation:

NAD+ act as co enzyme of various biological catalyst such as malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase etc.

             NAD+ can act as co enzyme only in its oxidized form but not in its reduced form called NADH.

         Many reaction needs NAD+ to occur such as conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate to 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate, malate to oxaloacetate.

              That"s why NAD+/NADH ratio is kept very high because if this ratio bychance get  low then it will hamper the normal redox potential of NAD+/NADH.As a result many biochemical reaction will not take place.

Answer:

The correct answer is - false statement.

Explanation:

The statement mentioned in question explaining the process of metabolism. Metabolism is a procedure that includes catabolic and anabolic process that which are chemicals reactions takes place in the body. Metabolism is breaking large molecules into simpler and simpler molecules to synthesizing complex molecules from simpler molecules.

Digestion is the process in which ingested food break down to simpler substances and absorbed to provide nutrients to body.

Thus, the correct answer is - false statement.

Consider the factors that affect muscular strength. Read each scenario and identify whether each would result in a stronger or w
nlexa [21]

Muscles are required in breathing, talking, running, walking, and any body movement. Actin and myosins are protein filaments present in muscle cells that help to contract and relax or change the shape of muscles. Muscles are responsible for the movement or motion of organisms. Joints are the connection between two or more bones. Most joints are mobile.

Muscle strength is determined by several factors. Some of those are the physical shape, size, and innervation of the muscles.  

Weak contraction

  • Potassium accumulates in the sarcoplasm.
  • Contracted lower sarcoplasm pH.
  • Begin contraction with muscle already 50%.
  • The circular arrangement of muscle fascicles.

Stronger contraction

  • Increase in muscle belly circumference.
  • A lesser proportion of motor neurons to muscle fibers.
  • Increased recruitment.
  • Increased stimulus frequency.
