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.

Which structure is most necessary for a mitochondrion to produce new molecules
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

<h2>The Nucleus.</h2>

Explanation:  

The structure most necessary for a  mitochondria to produce new cells is the nucleus.

The nucleus is a very specialized structure that occurs in most cells  including the mitochondria.

It is a membrane bound organelle that contains genetic materials which is the DNA of all eukaryotic organisms(multicellular organisms)

It plays important functions such as:

1. Primarily an information center of the cell

2.Metabolism roles

3. Growth and production of new molecules in the mitochondria(mitochondrial bio-genesis).
