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.

Explain why the development of the seed was an important event in the evolution of

Tatiana [17]

The development of the seed was an important event in the evolution of vascular plants because it allowed plants to disperse their offspring far away.

<h3>What is plant adaptation?</h3>

Plant adaptation refers to the different evolutionary features that emerged in the plant kingdom that allow plants to survive and reproduce.

Seeds are a fundamental evolutionary adaptive feature that enabled vascular plants to disperse their genes over longer distances.

In conclusion, the development of the seed was an important event in the evolution of vascular plants because it allowed plants to disperse their offspring far away.

How does the patellar region protect us??

Anit [1.1K]

The patellar region has a reflex (when the doctor hits your knee with that little rubber hammer and you kick your leg). Any reflex protects us from harmful things. The kneecap also covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.
