I believe the answer is 172,800,000,000 per day (24 hours)

How I Got That Answer:

I calculated 2 million times 60

=120000000 per minute

Then I calculated that times 60 again

=7200000000 per hour

Then I calculated that times 24

=172800000000 per day

Acetyl-CoA can be generated by which three metabolic pathways for potential use by the Citric Acid Cycle for energy metabolism?
Reika [66]

Answer:

C is the correct option.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the standard way for the formation of acetyl-CoA, from glucose.

Second, beta-oxidation of fatty acids generates 2 acetyl-coA molecules per cycle.

Finally, the degradation of amino acids generates intermediates of the Krebbs cycle. Occasionally Leucine, tryptophan and isoleucine are directly catalysed in acetyl-CoA.

Bottlenecks and founder effects

Genetic drift can cause big losses of genetic variation for small populations.

Population bottlenecks occur when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. Because genetic drift acts more quickly to reduce genetic variation in small populations, undergoing a bottleneck can reduce a population's genetic variation by a lot, even if the bottleneck doesn't last for very many generations. This is illustrated by the bags of marbles shown below, where, in generation 2, an unusually small draw creates a bottleneck.

Loss of genetic variation as a result of a population bottleneck

Reduced genetic variation means that the population may not be able to adapt to new selection pressures, such as climatic change or a shift in available resources, because the genetic variation that selection would act on may have already drifted out of the population.

Elephant seal

 

An example of a bottleneck

Northern elephant seals have reduced genetic variation probably because of a population bottleneck humans inflicted on them in the 1890s. Hunting reduced their population size to as few as 20 individuals at the end of the 19th century. Their population has since rebounded to over 30,000 — but their genes still carry the marks of this bottleneck: they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted.

Founder effects

A founder effect occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population. This small population size means that the colony may have:

reduced genetic variation from the original population.

a non-random sample of the genes in the original population.

For example, the Afrikaner population of Dutch settlers in South Africa is descended mainly from a few colonists. Today, the Afrikaner population has an unusually high frequency of the gene that causes Huntington's disease, because those original Dutch colonists just happened to carry that gene with unusually high frequency. This effect is easy to recognize in genetic diseases, but of course, the frequencies of all sorts of genes are affected by founder events.
