27. What is the major reactant needed for the Citric Acid Cycle (aka Krebs Cycle)?

Answer: b. Acetyl Co-A

Explanation:

Acetyl CoA produced through pyruvate, amino acids, and fatty acids are oxidized in the Krebs cycle in CO2, obtaining as products NADH, FADH2 and GTP (ATP). Parallel to this oxidation, the Krebs cycle produces compounds used as precursors for biosynthesis. As it is a cycle, an oxaloacetate molecule could, in principle, oxidize an amount indefinite of acetyl CoA. Acetyl-CoA is formed from the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, sequentially performed by pyruvate dehydrogenase -PDH (complex multi enzymatic of 3 enzymes), in the mitochondrial matrix.

Suppose that a diploid cell contains 8 chromosomes (2 n = 8). How many different combinations in the gametes are possible?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

16

Explanation:

A diploid organism that produces gametes will undergo meiosis to do so. Meiosis reduces the chromosomal number in the gametes by half. Hence, each gamete will have 4 chromosomes (haploid,n). Crossing-over will likely occur during the meiotic process leading to recombination in the arrangement of chromosomes in the gametes.

If this occurs, a mathematical expression of 2^n is used to determine the number of possible combinations, where n is the number of chromosomes in the gamete.

Hence, 2^4 = 16 possible combinations of chromosomes in the gamete.

Only some plant cells have chloroplasts, but all actively metabolizing plant cells have mitochondria. why?
Reptile [31]
Some all plant cells do have chloroplasts. The chloroplast is an organelle that represents considerable authority in photosynthesis. In this way, chloroplast is found in plant cells that get light. You won't, be that as it may, discover chloroplast in plant cells underground since light, by and large, doesn't achieve those cells. In the event that some way or another, they wind up plainly presented to light however they may create chloroplast.

What is the explanation of why avery, macleod, and mccarty's in vitro transformation experiment showed that dna, but not rna or
astraxan [27]

The Griffith's experiment, the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, and the  Hershey–Chase experiments were the set of experiments that established DNA as the key hereditary molecule. The Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment was an extension to the Griffith's experiment. The heat killed virulent S strain cells of the Griffith's experiment were lysed to form a supernatant containing a mix of RNA, DNA, proteins and lipids from the cell. The supernatent was equally divided into 3 parts after the removal of the lipids. The 3 parts were respectively treated with an RNAase to degrade the RNA, DNAase to degrade the DNA and proteinase to degrade the proteins. The treated supernatant was then added into the culture containing the non-virulent R cells. In case of the supernatant treated with the DNAse, no transformation of R cells into S cells occurred. The transformation of R cells to S cells occurred in the proteinase and the RNAse cases. This indicated that DNA was the hereditary molecule and not protein or RNA.

denis-greek [22]
Among the given choices, the only positive effect that may be thought off with the increase in level of CO2 in the atmosphere is the increase of plant growth. Carbon dioxide is an essential compound in the photosynthesis of plants. Therefore, the answer should be letter C.
