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.

Aminosyn is an amino acid often times used in tpn orders to provide protein for cellular repair and growth. a physician writes a
love history [14]
I think theres a few methods to do it, but this is probably the most efficient.

Physician has prescribed 2.5% of 500ml
Actual amount of Aminosyn in this prescription is
500*0.025= 12.5ml of Aminosin

Therefore you need to ensure when you pour your solution of the 8.5% Aminosyn, it has 12.5 ml of Aminosyn.

To work out how much 8.5% Aminosyn you should pour, you must think of the 12.5ml as 8.5%

Therefore 1% = 12.5/8.5= 1.470588

Therefore the amount of 8.5% solution you need to pour is 100* 1.470588= 147.1ml

Then make up the rest(352.9ml) by adding distilled water. You now have 500ml of 2.5% aminosyn.

Alligators life cycle compared to a human
Levart [38]

Answer:

Alligators: Growth depends greatly on the surrounding environment, including temperature, and sexual maturity is reached at approximately 6 feet long. The life span varies greatly for these large reptiles, averaging 35 to 50 years for wild alligators and 60 to 70 years for crocodiles.

Humans:In summary, the human life cycle has six main stages: foetus, baby, child, adolescent, adult and elderly. Although we describe the human life cycle in stages, people continually and gradually change from day to day throughout all of these stages.
