Answer;
The above statement is false.
Explanation;
The correct statement would have been;
The half life of an element of an element is the amount of time is it takes for half of radioactive isotope to decay.
-Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same atomic number but different mass number. Radioactive decay happens when an unstable atomic nucleus of an isotope spontaneously changes to a lower-energy state and spits out a bit of radiation.
-Half life is defined as the time it takes for one-half of the atoms of a radioactive material to disintegrate or undergo radioactive decay.
An independent variable that is manipulated means to achieve a particular effect or tested to determine if it is the cause of the effect.
For example, to find out if your weight depends on the amount of calories you consume, you could lower your caloric intake (calories is the manipulated variable) for a period of time and see how your weight changes in response.
Glycolysis refers to the metabolic procedure of transforming one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate via an arrangement of ten enzymatic catalyzed reactions.
Glucose + 2ADP + 2NAD+ + 2Pi -> 2 pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH + 2H+ + 2H2O
In this, from three molecules of glucose six molecules of ATPs are generated.
On the other hand, the pentose phosphate pathway can take place to metabolize dietary pentose sugars obtained due to the digestion of nucleic acids as well as to reorganize the carbon skeletons of dietary carbohydrates into gluconeogenic/glycolytic intermediates (F6P and GAP).
The pentose phosphate pathway is a prime producer of NADPH for the production of fatty acids. This pathway is not created to generate ATP.
