Answer:
Thiamine pyrophosphate (derived from vitamin B1) is a coenzyme required for the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex.
Explanation:
Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. During aerobic cellular respiration, pyruvate is oxidatively decarboxylated into acetyl CoA which in turn enters the Kreb's cycle. Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is carried out by enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). The first step is simple decarboxylation and is catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase of the PDH complex.
The enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase and has a tightly bound coenzyme, thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate is derived from vitamin B1. Lack of vitamin B1 in the human diet leads to beriberi that is characterized by an increased concentration of pyruvate in blood urine since oxidative decarboxylation cannot occur due to lack of the coenzyme thiamine pyrophosphate.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Bohr determined that there are discrete (unique, different from one another) energy levels in the atom and that electrons will orbit the nucleus within these energy levels, known as orbitals.
A central carbon atom bonded to an amino acid group and an R group.
Answer:
the drive-reduction theory
Explanation:
The drive-reduction theory is one of the theories of motivation.
This theory contains the idea that a physiological need creates a drive, which in turn motivates an organism to satisy their need.
The theory targets homeostasis or biological balance.
When there is a need such as lack of water, the need would cause a drive to be developed (thirst).
The drive would activate a response (search for water to drink).
The response is then terminated when the need has been satisfied.
Answer:
The answer is C, 40,000.
Explanation:
You can obviously tell that 400 is too low... that's one meal for all of the turtles! They would need 40,000 minnows because it's a stable number. They can reproduce, and keep the population up. 4,000, though, is too low because they wouldn't have enough time to reproduce and continue to keep the population alive. Therefore, 40,000 should be a stable population.
