The thing that is happening when you gargle with salt water is you are creating a high-salt barrier. As a result fluids are pulled out from the tissues in the throat area and the viruses are washed out. Fluids (water) are moving down the concentration gradient (to the area with the high salt concentration) and this is an example of passive transport.

babunello [35]

Answer:

D. acetyl CoA, NADH, H+, and CO2.

Explanation:

Pyruvate formed by the glycolytic breakdown of glucose enters Kreb's cycle in the form of acetyl CoA. Conversion of pyruvate into acetyl CoA occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and the reaction catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH). It is an oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate.

The PDH complex is composed of multiple copies of three enzymes. The enzyme complex catalyzes an irreversible oxidation process in which the carboxyl group of pyruvate is removed as a molecule of CO2 and the two remaining carbons become the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA. Here, NAD+ serves as the electron acceptor and is converted into NADH.
