How many molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) would be produced by five turns of the citric acid cycle?

Biology

1 answer:

ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is E) 10

Explanation:

Glucose is partially oxidized during the glycolysis process into two pyruvate molecules. Then these pyruvate molecules get totally oxidized into CO2 during the citric acid cycle. This citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of mitochondria.

During a single turn of the citric acid cycle, 2 molecules of carbon dioxide are released. Apart from two molecules of CO2, 3 molecules of NADH, 1 molecule of FADH2 and 1 molecule of ATP or GTP are also produced.

So if 2 molecules of CO2 are produced in one turn therefore in 5 turn 10 molecules of CO2 will be produced.

The answer to this question would be: coconut oil and dairy.
Coconut oil has been advertised to have a improve cholesterol but actually, it has a combination of bad cholesterol or LDL and good cholesterol or HDL. As far as I know, the research is not concluded yet to tell whether it really has more benefit for your cholesterol level, but another option is less likely to be true.

Considering the same population of cats as in Part A, what is the expected frequency of each genotype (TLTL, TLTS, TSTS ) based

zaharov [31]

Answer:

P = f(TLTL) = 0,16

H = f(TLTS) = 0,48

Q = f(TSTS) = 0,36

Explanation:

Hello!

The allele proportion of any locus defines the genetic constitution of a population. Its sum is 1 and its values can vary between 0 (absent allele) and 1 (fixed allele).

The calculation of allelic frequencies of a population is made taking into account that homozygotes have two identical alleles and heterozygotes have two different alleles.

In this case, let's say:

f(TL) = p

f(TS) = q

p + q = 1

Considering the genotypes TLTL, TLTS, TSTS, and the allele frequencies:

TL= 0,4

TS= 0,6

Genotypic frequency is the relative proportion of genotypes in a population for the locus in question, that is, the number of times the genotype appears in a population.

P = f(TLTL)

H = f(TLTS)

Q = f(TSTS)

Also P + H + Q = 1

And using the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies of equilibrium are given by the development of the binomial:

$p^{2} = f(TLTL)$

$2pq = f(TSTL)$

$q^{2} = f(TSTS)$

So, if the population is in balance:

$P = p^{2}$

$H = 2pq$

$Q = q^{2}$

Replacing the given values of allele frecuencies in each equiation you can calculate the expected frequency of each genotype for the next generation as:

$f(TLTL) = P = p^{2} = 0,4^{2} = 0,16$

$f(TLTS) = H = 2pq = 2*0,4*0,6 = 0,48$

$f(TSTS) = Q = q^{2} = 0,6^{2} = 0,36$

I hope you have a SUPER day!

Kendra wants to use similes to describe the reflection and absorption of waves. Which pair of similes best fit?

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Reflection is like bouncing a tennis ball, and absorption is like water soaking into a paper towel.

Explanation:

So first of all a simile uses the words "like" or "as" to compare things. Reflection is like bouncing a tennis ball, and absorption is like water soaking into a paper towel.

If logging operations are conducted on a hillside near a river, the operations will most likely -

Archy [21]

Answer:

D. decrease the amount of erosion along the hillside

Explanation:

When logging operations are conducted on a hillside near a river, the operations will decrease the amount of erosion along the hillside because the tree's root hold soil particles and does not allow them to erosion. We can see in many region that there is presence of vegetation on the bank of river or stream in order to prevent erosion of soil so that's why we can say that logging operations causes decrease erosion along hillside.
