What is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction?

Biology
1 answer:
Andru [333]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The answer is d. pyruvate

Explanation:

An oxidizing agent is the substance that gains electrons in a chemical reaction. At the end of the reaction it is reduced and its oxidation state increased.

A reducing agent is the substance that loses electrons in a chemical reaction. At the end of the reaction it is oxidized and its oxidation state decreased.

Pyruvate gains one electron, it is reduced from pyruvate to lactate; thus, pyruvate is the oxidizing agent.

NADH loses one electron, it is oxidized from NADH to NAD; thus, NADH is the reducing agent

Given what you know about the endosymbiotic theory, which region of the chloroplast below would you expect to be derived from th
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Photosynthetic lamellae

Explanation:

The cyanobacteria were the first successful photosynthetic cells present on the Earth which were able to convert the light energy into the chemical energy.

The endosymbiosis theory suggested that these cyanobacteria were engulfed by the eukaryotes and the cyanobacteria get transformed into the chloroplast.  

The region of the chloroplast that was formed in the cyanobacteria before the endosymbiosis happened was the photosynthetic lamellae which contained the chlorophyll molecule and thus is the correct answer.

Thus, Photosynthetic lamellae are the correct answer.

You experimentally change the DNA sequence directly upstream of a start codon of an operon in E coli to investigate the function
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Mutation occurred in ribosome binding site that serves as binding site for 30S ribosomal subunit of <em>E. coli</em> and allows the process of protein synthesis to begin.

Explanation:

The initiation of protein synthesis in bacteria requires binding of the ribosome to the ribosome binding site. The ribosome binding site in bacteria consists of the initiation codon "AUG" and the preceding Shine-Dalgarno sequence. The AUG initiation codon and Shine Delgrano sequence are around 10 bases apart.

The sequence is polypurine hexamer and is represented by 5' ...AGGAGG...3'. Shine-Delgrano sequence is complementary to the conserved sequence present at the 3' end of 16SrRNA of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome. Binding of Shine Delgrano sequence of ribosome binding site and the complementary sequence of the 30S ribosomal subunit marks the first step in the initiation of protein synthesis.

Any mutation in the ribosome binding site would not allow the process of protein synthesis to start or would reduce the rate of the initiation of protein synthesis.
