NADH and FADH are produced by the Citric Acid Cycle (CAC) and these electron shuttles go on to the Electron Transport Chain (ETC

). If the ETC produce 51 moles of ATP from the products of the CAC, then how many moles of pyruvate entered the CAC

Answer:

3 moles of Pyruvate entered CAC

Explanation:

2moles of pyruvate gives 34 ATP MOLES

Hence 51moles of ATP willl give 51*2/34, which is equal to 3moles

NADH is an energy carrier which delivers high energy electrons to the electron transport chain where they will eventually power the production of 2 to 3 ATP molecules.

FADH is another energy carrier that carries high energy electrons to the ETC, where they will drive the production of 1 to 2 ATP molecules.

Electron transport chain  produces most of the energy ( 34 ATP molecules, compared to only 2 ATP for glycolysis and 2 ATP for Krebs cycle). The electron transport chain takes place in the mitochondria. This stage converts the NADH into ATP.

NADH = 3ATP FADH2 = 2ATP

What is the difference between arbitrary and natural levels? Why do these matter? (4) how do archaeologists recover the smallest
Vlada [557]

Arbitrary level refers to the fundamental vertical subdivision of an excavation square, implied only when easily identifiable natural strata are absent and when natural strata are more than ten centimeters thick.  

Natural strata refer to a vertical subdivision of an excavation square, which is reliant on the natural breaks in the sediments in terms of grain size, color, hardness, texture, or other features.  

It is important to know the difference between the arbitrary and natural levels as arbitrary levels could amalgamate artifacts from distinct natural levels, that is, of distinct geologic contexts.  

The archaeologists can recover the smallest ecofacts and artifacts with the assistance of flotation, screening, and bulk matrix processing

Setler [38]
Experimentation (or the experiments the scientist was doing for 10 years) could be wrong or done in an inappropriate way. The only way to know if the information is valid is by checking the way the experimentation (data) was done as well as making sure to check all other factors

1. How many pounds of biological material is below that soil surface?​
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The amount of organic matter in mineral (sand, loam or clay) soils ranges from very low being 1% by weight, to average being 2 to 4%, and high being greater than 5%. There are also “muck” or organic or peat based soils that are 30 to 40% organic matter. The general consensus is the more soil organic matter the better.   approximately 45%

Soil Composition

The basic components of soil are minerals, organic matter, water and air. The typical soil consists of approximately 45% mineral, 5% organic matter, 20-30% water, and 20-30% air. These percentages are only generalizations at best.

mash [69]
Prokaryotes are single celled organism that lacks a membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane bound organelle. Examples of prokaryotes include all single-celled organisms, most of which are bacteria. The principle ecological role of prokaryotes is to break down organic matter.
