At first glance, fermentation of pyruvate to lactate appears to be an optional add-on reaction to glycolysis. After all, could c

ells growing in the absence of oxygen not simply discard pyruvate as a waste product? In the absence of fermentation, which products derived from glycolysis would accumulate in cells under anaerobic conditions? Could the metabolism of glucose via the glycolytic pathway continue in the absence of oxygen in cells that cannot carry out fermentation? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, glycolysis can not be continued without fermentation in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

In the absence of oxygen, cells perform fermentation to oxidize NADH into NAD+. NAD+ is required during the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate into 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate. Fermentation reduces pyruvate and oxidizes NADH so that the NAD+ supply is continued to ensure continuity of glycolysis.

If fermentation does not occur under anaerobic conditions, cells will accumulate pyruvate and NADH. Glycolysis could not be continued in the absence of NAD+.

hoa [83]
In terms of chemistry, saturated fats contain the maximum number or greatest amount of Hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to both the end and internal or middle carbons. Thus, there are no carbon to carbon double and or single bonds present.

Unsaturated fats though do have at least a minimum of 1 carbon to carbon double and or triple bond for the inverse or opposite explanation of what was mentioned, that it does not have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms within the internal and or external carbon atoms in the structure of the organic compound.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer;

-Structural isomers.

Explanation;

-Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula, but have a different arrangement of the atoms in space.

-Structural Isomers are molecules which have the same molecular formula but have different connectivities. That is; the molecules have the same molecular formula, but their atoms have different arrangements or bonds.

-For example, butane and isobutane are structural isomers, also called chain isomers. In chain isomers, the carbon atoms are connected in different orders. Isobutane and butane have a molecular formula of C4H10.

(b) Vaccination against the measles virus will not protect the child against the rubella virus. Why?
vekshin1
The measles virus and rubella virus are two separate viruses. They have different DNA and RNA structures, and the vaccination for the measles virus only "knows" how to attach itself to measles and destroy the virus. It doesn't know how to attach itself to the rubella virus to destroy it, as the vaccination is needed to inform it how to.

The advantage of vaccinating a large amount of the population is that it reduces the chance someone will catch sickness by a great amount, and can possibly eradicate the virus.
