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. What is the main reason that only two molecules of NADH formed during glycolysis when it appears that as many as a dozen could be formed?

Answer: The main reason why only 2 molecules of NADH is formed during glycolysis when it appears that as many as a dozen could be formed is because during glycolysis,most of the free energy that are available from the oxidation of glucose remains in one of the products of glycolysis known as pyruvate which acts like glucose but doesn't undergo metabolism.

Glycolysis is the splitting of sugar molecules into useable/ manageable forms,it can also be seen as the aerobic catabolism of sugar inorder to produce energy in the form of ATP,NADH and PYRUVATE.The following are the products of glycolysis; pyruvate,2 molecules of ATP and 2molecules of NADH.

Pyruvate are used in aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration if oxygen is not available.

If you can generate a strong enough static charge, and construct a glove to hold the charge, like a capacitor and slowly pour water on the glove. the positive hydrogen molecules in the water will attract to the static charge. and will become suspended.
This is just a theory so if you do try this please. tell me how it goes.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The correct option is 'C' that is eventually the population stop increasing or would decreases due to lack of food and living space.

Explanation:

In 1798, he wrote an essay on Principle of population where he described that how the population will grow with economy.

He claimed that the population will grow until the food supply decreases and then the population will stop growing due to lack of food and space and those individuals that can fight against this condition and and could attain food, space and other essential necessities will survive.

Contrast fast fibers with slow fibers in terms of diameter, glycogen reserves, myoglobin content, and relative abundance of mito
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The skeletal muscle fibres are of two types namely slow-twitch muscle fibres (type I muscle fibre) and fast-twitch muscle fibre (type II muscle fibre).

The slow fibres are slow contracting and help in developing endurance such as long distance running, maintaining posture etc whereas fast fibres are fast contracting and help in movements which require force such as sprinting etc.

Other differences are summarized in a tabular form attached below.
