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.

A jar contains 26 fluid ouncesbof spaghetti sauce. How many cups of spaghetti sauce do 4 jars contain
JulijaS [17]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answer would be 13 cups of spaghetti sauce.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

Lets break down this question to make the answer easier:

8 ounces = 1 cup

We are going to use the above to help us solve this question.

In your question, you have 26 ounces, and you would have four cups. You would need to calculate how many ounces are in the 4 cups

To do this, you would multiply 26 by 4:

26 × 4 = 104

The four cups have a total of 104 for ounces. But, you are not done solving yet. You need to found how many cups there are. We would be going to use the 8 ounces, since we know that is the amount of one cup, and use that to divide 104, since we need to distribute the amount of ounces to the cups.

You would divide 104 by 8

104 ÷ 8 = 13

There would be 13 cups of spaghetti sauce in 4 jars of spaghetti sauce that has 26 ounches in it.

Your FINAL answer would be 13.

Light energy from the sun is the primary source for all living organisms. So how does the sun provide energy for all living orga
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: Heat or thermal energy coming from the sun provides energy for living organisms through heat transfer. For plants light energy is absorbed by the leaves and enters the stomata which activates the thylakoids and releases amount of electrons for chemical reactions. Through light energy plants produces glucose and releases oxygen gas as a by-product of the reaction. For this process energy is formed (ATP)
