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 substance that is predominately absorbed in rain forests would be carbon dioxide, I believe. As many tropical trees are present and will uptake CO2 to synthesize glucose or sugar as a product of photosynthesis.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

No it would not be useful for cell.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase uses only one strand of DNA which is called the template strand for the synthesis of mRNA. The other strand which is not used to make mRNA is called the coding strand.

If an RNA polymerase is designed which transcribe both the strand than two different strands of mRNA will be generated that will have different nucleotide sequences and will code for different proteins. So one strands will generate a protein which have different amino acids sequence that will complicate the overall process for the cell.

Another problem is if two RNA strands are formed then they can form a double helix and the ribosome might not be able to bind on them and translation might stop. Therefore it would not be useful for cell.

Expt. No.
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The process of the formation of Urine starts when the blood enters the kidney and is filtered by the nephrons to separate the water from the larger elements that compound it like blood cells and proteins. Then, they go to the blood, and the elements that passed the filtration membrane go to the renal tubule to be moved to the bladder or be reabsorbed in case they are necessary for the body.

Explanation:

The Urine creation process starts with the blood entering the nephron in the kidneys. Then it is filtrated blocking blood cells and large proteins, making only water and smaller elements pass the filtration membrane. Then, cells and proteins, as well as the elements that couldn't pass the filtration membrane, go back to the bloodstream. While the elements that passed the filtration membrane go to the nephron to enter the renal tubule. In this tube some of the components that can still be used by the body are reabsorbed, the rest continues its journey to the bladder.
