Answer:

Step 1. A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate, releasing a molecule of carbon dioxide into the surrounding medium. (Note: carbon dioxide is one carbon attached to two oxygen atoms and is one of the major end products of cellular respiration. ) The result of this step is a two-carbon hydroxyethyl group bound to the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase; the lost carbon dioxide is the first of the six carbons from the original glucose molecule to be removed. This step proceeds twice for every molecule of glucose metabolized (remember: there are two pyruvate molecules produced at the end of glycolysis); thus, two of the six carbons will have been removed at the end of both of these steps.

Step 2. The hydroxyethyl group is oxidized to an acetyl group, and the electrons are picked up by NAD+, forming NADH (the reduced form of NAD+). The high- energy electrons from NADH will be used later by the cell to generate ATP for energy.

Step 3. The enzyme-bound acetyl group is transferred to CoA, producing a molecule of acetyl CoA. This molecule of acetyl CoA is then further converted to be used in the next pathway of metabolism, the citric acid cycle.

Differentiate the osmosis in hypertonic and hypotonic solutions.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

A cell is in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic. Cells placed in a hypotonic solution will take in water across their membranes until both the external solution and the cytosol are isotonic.

Compare and contrast suspension feeding and deposit feeding-
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Suspension feeding involves collecting food particles like small organisms, organic matter, detritus which are suspended in water, often using some form of filtration.

Suspension feeders catch food or organic material from the water using tentacles or spiny arms

where as

Deposit feeding involves feasting on detritus and organic matter that have settled on the ocean floor.

Deposit feeders pass sand, mud, water or sediment into their mouths using mucous-covered tentacles or arms etc.
