Imagine that I start off with 10 molecules of oxaloacetate in a mitochondria. I now allow the TCA to run just enough to generate

20 molecules of CO2 (assuming that oxaloacetate is being used only for TCA in these mitochondria).

Answer:

The correct option is option D which is  10 – 1 molecule of Oxaloacetate (OAA) is regenerated for every molecule of Acetyl-Coenzyme (AcCoA) used.

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given, the complete question is as below

Imagine that I start off with 10 molecules of oxaloacetate in a mitochondria. After running the TCA to generate 20 molecules of CO2, how many molecules of oxaloacetate will be left in the mitochondria (assuming oxaloacetate is being used only for TCA in these mitochondria)?

A) 30 – each molecule of CO2 generated corresponds to an increase of one OAA

B) 20 – every two molecules of CO2 generated corresponds to an increase of one OAA

C) 0 – two molecules of CO2 generated corresponds to one AcCoA used in the TCA; each AcCoA requires one molecule of OAA

D) 10 – one molecule of OAA is regenerated for every molecule of AcCoA used

Each cycle of TCA result in consumption of 1 Acetyl-Coenzyme (AcCoA) and 1 Oxaloacetate (OAA) molecule to give rise to 3 molecules of NADH and 2 molecules of CO2 per cycle. But at the end of each cycle, OAA molecule is regenerated. So the number of oxaloacetate(OAA) molecules remains unchanged.

Thus the correct option is option D which is  10 – 1 molecule of Oxaloacetate (OAA) is regenerated for every molecule of Acetyl-Coenzyme (AcCoA) used.

Sister chromatids present during mitosis are
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The correct answer is e. All of the above.

Explanation:

Sister chromatids are made during the synthesis phase of the cell cycle. In the synthesis phase, the homologous chromosomes get replicated and sister chromatids are produced so they are produced by duplication of chromosomes.  

As sister chromatids are produced by replication, therefore, they are identical copies of parent chromosomes. These sister chromatids are joined to each other at centromere. They get separated during the anaphase of mitosis and moves to the opposite pole.

Therefore the right answer is e.
