Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

Before Citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle, an intermediate reaction takes place which converts the pyruvate into Acetyl CoA. This reaction is known as pyruvate decarboxylation as it produces Carbon dioxide.  

Coenzyme A reacts with pyruvate which causes the release of two oxygen atoms and one carbon to form CO₂ along with the reduction of  NAD+ to NADH and produce "Acetyl CoA."

Thus,  option-D is the correct answer.

How is the law of conservation of mass applied to ecology?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

In ecology, the law of conservation of mass is applied by the principle of taking energy from the lower trophic levels and passing it to the higher trophic level by any means.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of mass?</h3>

The law of conservation of mass states that the actual mass in an ecosystem is neither created nor destroyed. Overall remains constant in a system.

In ecology, it illustrates that when an organism is ingested by other organisms, its mass is conserved. Some of the organisms may also be dependent on the waste products like urine and feces to make proteins and other compounds.  

Therefore, the energy or mass is neither lost in any form. It simply is taken by other organisms through any means.

Why does DNA need to be copied into mRNA?
larisa86 [58]

mRNA will serve as reference book that contains information as the DNA and its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.

The transfer of information in a DNA strand to a new molecule of messenger RNA is known as transcription. Thus, the process of transcription is carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase and a number of accessory proteins called transcription factors. However, DNA is copied into mRNA because mRNA will serve as reference book that contains information as the DNA and its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a slowly progressive, degenerative, fatal disease affecting the central nervous system
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is C) Prions</em></u>

Explanation:

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)  or Mad Cow Disease  is a disease which occurs due to transmissible particles known as prions. Prions cannot be considered as living organisms as they do not acquire many of the living characteristics. They are just considered as a protein which gest converted into an activated, toxic form  as soon as they encounter a host cell. This toxic protein harms the central nervous system (CNS) of the cow host and is transmissible.
