The free energy for the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water is -686 kcal/mol, and the free energy for the reduction of NAD to

NADH is 53 kcal/mol. Why are only two molecules of NADH formed during glycolysis when it appears that as many as a dozen could be formed

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. Most of the free energy available from the  oxidation of glucose is used in the production of ATP in  glycolysis.

b. Glycolysis is a very inefficient reaction, with much of  the energy of glucose released as heat

.c. Most of the free  energy available from the oxidation of glucose remains in pyruvate,  one of the products of glycolysis.

d. There is no CO2 or water produced as products  of glycolysis.e. Glycolysis consists of many enzymatic reactions,  each of which extracts some energy from the glucose molecule.

Answer:

Most of the free  energy available from the oxidation of glucose remains in pyruvate,  one of the products of glycolysis.

Explanation:

Glycolysis refers to the breakdown of the glucose molecules during the complex process of cellular respiration. The process takes place in ten enzymes catalyzed reactions that form the 2 molecules of pyruvate.

The glycolysis process releases a lot of energy which is measured as -686 kcal/mol. The energy is not released into the reaction directly but is conserved in pyruvate form and less is released into driving the reduction of NAD to NADH.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Which of the following does not accurately describes a typical human karyotype?
hoa [83]
A typical human karyotype has 23 types of chromosomes arranged from largest to smallest. In males and females 22 of these chromosomes look exactly the same and they are called autosomes. The 23rd pair of chromosomes is the sex chromosome which differentiates males from females. Females have 2 copies of the x chromosome. Males have a copy of both x and y chromosome to make the 23rd pair. <span>

<span>Chromosomes can also have abnormalities that result to different conditions and identifiable traits. A most common chromosomal abnormality is the condition called Down Syndrome, where chromosome 21 has a third copy because of an abnormal cell division.</span></span>

Which two classification categories are used in binomial nomenclature
Julli [10]

The most well-known living things have common names. For example, you are probably familiar with the small, red insects dotted with little black spots. You might call them 'ladybugs' or 'ladybird beetles.' But did you know there are actually many different species of these insects? Just using common names may make it difficult for scientists to differentiate between them, so every species is given a unique scientific name.


Binomial nomenclature is the formal naming system for living things that all scientists use. It gives every species a two-part scientific name. For example, a ladybug found in the United States goes by the fancy name of Harmonia axyridis.


The first part of a scientific name, like Harmonia, is called the genus. A genus is typically the name for a small group of closely related organisms. The second part of a scientific name, axyridis in this example, is the specific epithet. It is used to identify a particular species as separate from others belonging to the same genus. Together, the genus plus the specific epithet is the full scientific name for an organism.


I bet that you actually already know the scientific name for at least one animal, although you may not have realized it. Ever heard of the dinosaur T. rex? T. rex is actually a scientific name - the 'T' is just an abbreviation of the genus Tyrannosaurus. So the scientific name is actually Tyrannosaurus rex.
