Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration, in which glucose is used to generate ATP to power the cell. The major chem

ical reaction that takes place in glycolysis (ignoring some other reactants and products) is the conversion of glucose (C6H12O6) to pyruvate (C3H4O3) and hydrogen ions (H+). Using this information, what is the correct equation for the glycolysis chemical reaction?
a. C6H12O6 -> C3H4O3+H+
b. C6H12O6 -> 2 C3H4O3+2 H+
c. C6H12O6 -> 2 C3H4O3+H+
d. 2 C6H12O6 -> C3H4O3+2 H+

Answer:

The correct answer is b. C6H12O6 -> 2 C3H4O3+2 H+

Explanation:

Glycolysis occurs in both the condition aerobic and anaerobic so it does not require oxygen. In glycolysis, one glucose molecule is converted into two pyruvate( 2 C3H4O3) and two 2 ATP, 2NADH, and 2 H₂O are produced.

Initially, 2NAD⁺ is produced during glycolysis which is reduced to produce 2NADH and 2 H⁺. Therefore the correct equation is  C6H12O6 -> 2 C3H4O3+2 H+.

Then this pyruvate is used in the Kreb cycle which is required for the complete breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and water and this process occurs in aerobic conditions. Complete oxidation is important to produce more energy from partially oxidized glucose.

Randy works 50 weeks a year, averaging $500 a week in wages. He is offered a salaried position at $27,500 a year. What will he m
anyanavicka [17]
To calculate his current wage a year you have to multiply the wake of a week with the total amount of weeks when he works.

50*500 = 25000
25000<27500

The correct answer is B. He will get more money. I hope this is the answer that you are looking for and it comes to your help.

Why are vestigial structures considered critical evidence of evolution?
Norma-Jean [14]
Vestigial structures are considered evidence since scientists believe they are structures that were once used by a species ancestors but are no longer needed. They do not impair the organisms in any way, so there is no need for evolution to get rid of them. Vestigial structures are anatomical features that no longer seems to have a function or purpose in the current form of an organism of the given species. Examples are wisdom teeth, the muscles of the ear, the appendix, the tail bone among others in human.

How is a varied diet an advantageous adaptation for animals dwelling in the chaparral biome?
Ray Of Light [21]
<span>The chaparral is characterized by sparse, rough terrain and nutrient-poor soil meaning that no single resource is overly abundant. Therefore, a varied diet allows an animal to make use of a wider selection of the resources that are available to it and thereby thrive.</span>
