A research group has discovered an organism with cells that contain a previously undescribed organelle. They do some tests on th
e isolated organelle to see if it is involved in any major metabolic reactions. To do this, they incubate these organelles for a period of time and determine changes in the amount of various substances in the suspending solution. The results follow. Based on this analysis, which metabolic process do you conclude is taking place in this organelle?
Select one:
a. pyruvate oxidation
b. citric acid cycle
c. glycolysis
d. electron transport chain/oxidative phosphorylation
e. glycolysis and the citric acid cycle

We know that the Citric acid cycle is also known as the TCA cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle) or the Krebs cycle. This cycle occurs in Mitochondria in case of eukaryotes. In this cycle acetyl-CoA is oxidized which comes from carbohydrates, proteins and fats and energy is released in the form of ATP.
water is also used in this process. NAD+ gets reduced to NADPH. In this system carbon dioxide is produced as a waste byproduct. ATP is produced as the main product. ATP is also used as a source of energy.
Answer: If you crossed the parents of GG and gg all plants would be green because if the parent with two dominate genes could only give a dominant G to each child all children would have a dominate G gene therefore all children on this cross would be dark green.
