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.

What is evidence that wood contains stored energy?

marin [14]

Answer:

The stored energy in the wood is chemical energy, meaning that it can be released by a chemical reaction (burning). It's closely related to those fossil fuel energies, because the chemical energy was formed by photosynthesis, using energy from sunlight as the input.

Does every scientific method begin with an observation explain

Yuki888 [10]

No, not every scientific method begin with an observation. on basis of what we want, steps for scientific method changes.
And in scientific method before observation, first we predict (what will happen in the experiment). after prediction we observe. Prediction is known as hypothesis. And observation is what we are viewing.
