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.

Cells are open systems that exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. Which of the following best explains why plant c
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The energy input required for making organic compounds equals the usable energy output of respiration.

Explanation:

A reaction is endergonic (energy-consuming) process if the change in free energy is positive.

A positive change in free energy implies that energy is required to enter into the system. Let us recall that free energy is a state function. Hence, change free energy =free energy of products - free energy of reactants.

If free energy of products > free energy of reactants then the reaction is an endergonic (energy-consuming) process..

But The energy input required for making organic compounds equals the usable energy output of respiration, hence making the process spontaneous.

The sugar in corn is rapidly converted to starch after the corn has been picked. After picking, corn with the Sh2 gene was found
tia_tia [17]

The statement that is most likely to be true about corn with this gene is that it has no chloroplasts.

The corn with this gene have more sugar and less starch that resulted to faster conversion of sugar to starch and they are best eaten right after harvest.
