Why do all Krebs cycle reactions occur twice for each molecule of glucose that undergoes respiration?

Biology

lesya692 [45]3 years ago

Answer:

The Krebs cycle reaction occurs twice because glucose produces two molecules of Pyruvate and then two acetyl CoA.

Explanation:

The citric acid cycle goes around twice for each molecule of glucose that enters cellular respiration because there are two pyruvates from the single glucose molecule and thus, two acetyl CoA is produced per glucose which is the starting molecule in the Krebs cycle.

Answer: This is because 2 pyruvate molecules were produced in Glycolysis,and each must be metabolize to extract one ATP molecule each contained.

In addition to produced required number of reduced Co-enzymes for Electron Transport Chain (ETC) reactions to take place for ATP production

It must also be twice/glucose molecule to generate required volume of oxygen for decaboxylation,because the oxygen in the reaction came from.from . redox and not from the atmosphere.

Therefore the both the link reaction and the kreb.cycle

must occur twice to produce mandatory 2 ATPs ,and generate the required amount of reduced Co Enzymes NADH and FADH2 for ETC(electron transport Chain ) to occur.

Summarize the nitrogen cycle and it’s importance of proteins and DNA
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Nitrogen cycle works through various stages like, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification etc. It is a building block for protein and DNA

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an element abundantly found in the atmosphere, also its building block for proteins as well as nucleic acid i.e. DNA formation. In nitrogen cycle , the nitrogen is being prepared from inert nitrogen.  The nitrogen cycle has several processes like nitrogen fixation, in this the inert nitrogen is being converted to organic nitrogen with the help of certain micro-organism.

Nitrification, plants cannot absorb directly nitrogen so bacteria help the plants to convert the nitrogen into ammonia form in this stage. Assimilation, another stage in which plants starts absorbing various forms of nitrogen from the soil.i.e. nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Ammonification, here plants and animals have nitrogen in there body after death various microbes help in decomposition in this stage. Denitrification, in this stage the return back of nitrogen takes place.

If you used a slingshot to launch a bowling ball and a baseball with the same force, which would go further? Explain your reason
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: The baseball will go farther because of Newton's law. The more mass an object as, the more force needed to move it. The bowling ball has more mass than a baseball so more force is needed to move it.

What is speciation?
Damm [24]
Speciation is b. the process by which new species are formed. They are often caused by the isolation of certain organisms in terms of environment or geographical area. This is part of the evolutionary changes that various species undergo to brought about by natural selection.

Bastrop had a forest fire about 6 years ago. Describe what will the area look like in about 20 years?
Gre4nikov [31]
Forest fires actually help the environment, they remove plants and trees that are useless and leave space for new plants and trees to grow. After 26 years after the fire, the forest will start to grow again and will be green once again. 

Have a nice day! :)
