Why can’t you just write a paragraph?
Not to be too picky, but the question ought to say a positively charge ion rather than atom.
I will assume that is what you mean. An ion, using ordinary means, will be positive if it loses electrons (which are negative).
An ion can never gain protons. Left alone, the nucleus will remain unchanged for the rest of eternity. D is wrong.
C is wrong. If electrons are gained, the ion will go negative.
B is wrong for the same reason D is. An ion can't gain protons and it can't lose them.
A is the answer.
The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity.
Answer:
The fate of glucose-6-phosphate,glycolytic intermediates and pentose phosphate pathways are described below
Explanation:
Fate of Glucose -6-phosphate
Glucose-6-phosphate undergo dephosphorylation to form glucose when there is an increase demand of glucose in the body.
Glucose-6-phosphate enters into pentose phosphate pathway to synthesize ribose-5-phosphate which is used during denovo pathway of purine nucleotide biosynthesis.
Fate of glycolytic intermediates
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate of glycolysis.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate act as a precursor during lipogenesis that deals with the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol.
Fate of pentose phosphate pathway intermediates
Ribose-5-phosphate and NADPH are the important intermediates of pentone phosphate pathway.
Ribose-5-phosphate act as a substrate molecule during the denovo biosynthesis pathway of purine nucleotides.
NADPH act as a reducing agent during fatty acid biosynthesis process.
Answer:
Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth as the food is chewed. Chemical digestion involves breaking down the food into simpler nutrients that can be used by the cells.
Explanation:
Chemical digestion begins in the mouth when food mixes with saliva. Saliva contains an enzyme (amylase) that begins the breakdown of carbohydrates.
