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

Photosynthesis is an example of
AveGali [126]

Answer : Photosynthesis is an example of a chemical reaction.

Explanation :

Photosynthesis : It is a type of chemical process which takes place in the plant cell. In photosynthesis process, the light energy converted into the chemical energy.

As plant needs carbon dioxide, water and light. During the photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, water and sunlight react to gives glucose, oxygen and water as a product.

The balanced reaction of photosynthesis will be,

6CO_2+12H_2O\overset{sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2+6H_2O

Hence, photosynthesis is an example of a chemical reaction.

What happens to the continental crust under a mountain as the mountain erodes and becomes less massive?
AveGali [126]

Continental collision is a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at convergent boundaries. Continental collision is a variation on the fundamental process of subduction, whereby the subduction zone is destroyed, mountainsproduced, and two continents sutured together. Continental collision is known only to occur on Earth.

Continental collision is not an instantaneous event, but may take several tens of millions of years before the faulting and foldingcaused by collisions stops. The collision between India and Asia has been going on for about 50 million years already and shows no signs of abating. Collision between East and West Gondwana to form the East African Orogen took about 100 million years from beginning (610 Ma) to end (510 Ma). Collision between Gondwana and Laurasia to form Pangea occurred in a relatively brief interval, about 50 million years long.

How did water come to earth? ​
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Your Question: How did water come to earth?

Your answer: As a standard comet nears the heat of the Sun, the ice particles from its nucleus sublimate or go directly from solid ice to a gas, which can then condense later into liquid water if it were, say, to arrive on a planet's surface.

Hope this helped! :)
