Follow the Carbon in Citric Acid Cycle: 1. How many cycles does it take to convert Acetyl CoA to CO2

Chemistry

Each round of Citric Acid Cycle produce 2 molecules of carbon dioxide. So one cycle of TCA cycle is enough to convert Acetyl CoA to carbon dioxide.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

Citric Acid Cycle or Kreb's Cycle or the TCA cycle is the 1st dedicated step towards the aerobic respiration. The end product of glycolysis is Pyruvate which is a three carbon compound. It's acted upon by Pyruvate Decarboxylase to produce a 2 carbon compound Acetyl CoA and a molecule of carbon dioxide. This Acetyl CoA now reacts with oxaloacetate to produce Citric Acid which is the 1st step of Citric Acid Cycle. This now produce several intermediates and a lot of reduced electron carriers along with 2 molecules of carbon dioxide and ends up being oxaloacetate again. So one cycle of Citric Acid Cycle is necessary to convert Acetyl CoA to CO2.

Waters states of matter include steam liquid water and ice. What about water is the same in the states? What can you conclude ab
julia-pushkina [17]
This lesson is the first in a three-part series that addresses a concept that is central to the understanding of the water cycle—that water is able to take many forms but is still water. This series of lessons is designed to prepare students to understand that most substances may exist as solids, liquids, or gases depending on the temperature, pressure, and nature of that substance. This knowledge is critical to understanding that water in our world is constantly cycling as a solid, liquid, or gas.

In these lessons, students will observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. It is important to note that students at this level "...should become familiar with the freezing of water and melting of ice (with no change in weight), the disappearance of wetness into the air, and the appearance of water on cold surfaces. Evaporation and condensation will mean nothing different from disappearance and appearance, perhaps for several years, until students begin to understand that the evaporated water is still present in the form of invisibly small molecules." (Benchmarks for Science Literacy<span>, </span>pp. 66-67.)

In this lesson, students explore how water can change from a solid to a liquid and then back again.

<span>In </span>Water 2: Disappearing Water, students will focus on the concept that water can go back and forth from one form to another and the amount of water will remain the same.

Water 3: Melting and Freezing<span> allows students to investigate what happens to the amount of different substances as they change from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a solid.</span>

17. Which of the following describes a condition in which an individual would not hear an echo?
ivanzaharov [21]
<span>The right answer is D. In a situation where the sound wave reaches the ear and the reflected wave reaches the ear less than 0.1 seconds later, the individual would not be able to hear an echo. There needs to a far more significant delay between the sound and the reflection of said sound reaching the listener's ear for the echo effect to become apparent.</span>

A scientist observed a 5-mL sample of an unknown substance. It is a blue liquid with a density of 1.2 g/cm. the substance reacts
LenaWriter [7]
Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.

Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.

Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.

List of the properties observed by the scientist:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Property                                     Type of property
----------------------------------------------------------------
Volume: 5 ml                              non-characteristic
----------------------------------------------------------------
Color: blue                                 non-characteristic
----------------------------------------------------------------
State: liquid                                characteristic
------------------------------------------------------------
density: 1.2 g/cm                        characteristic
------------------------------------------------------------
Reaction: reacts with CO2         characteristic
