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.

Describe a semipermeable membrane.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

A semipermeable membrane is a barrier that will only allow some molecules to pass through while blocking the passage of other molecules. A semipermeable barrier essentially acts as a filter. Different types of semipermeable membranes can block out different sized molecules. A semipermeable membrane can be made out of biological or synthetic material.

The genealogy tree which is missing from the question is in the attachment.

Answer: 1) P1 = $\frac{1}{2}$ ; 2) P2 = $\frac{1}{2}$ ; 3)P3 = $\frac{1}{16}$

Explanation: 1) According to the genealogy tree, the individual III-3 has a P1 = 1/2, because each of the parents are heterozygous for the condition, since one of the ofspring is affected.

2) For individual III-4, one of the parents is heterozygous for the condition, so the probability of being a carrier is P2 = 1/2.

3) Now, for individual IV-1 be affected, the parents has to be carrier. So, this probability, depends on the probability of each parent being heterozygous and that the individual will be carrying the condition, which means:

P3 = 1/2 · 1/2 · 1/4 = 1/16.

The probability of having the condition is 1/16 or 6.25%.
