Answer: Oxaloacetate

Explanation: The krebs cycle starts with the pyruvic acid that is obtained after glycolysis. The Kreb's cycle begins when the Acetyl coA combines with a four molecule oxaloacetate.

The main product formed is citric acid thats why the cycle is also called as citric acid cycle. After the citric acid is formed it goes through a series of reactions to form NADH, FADH2 and ATP.

The carbon dioxide is also released during this process. The oxaloacetate formed is used to start the cycle so its is regenerated again and again.

Oxaloacetate is the molecule that is essential to regenerate at the end of the Kreb's cycle to start the process again.

<h2>Further Explanation;</h2><h3>Cellular respiration;</h3>
  • Cellular respiration is the process by which living organisms use nutrients or food substances to generate energy in the form of ATP that is required to drive cellular processes.
  • Cellular respiration takes place in three stages; glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and electron transport.
<h3>Glycolysis</h3>
  • It is the first stage of aerobic respiration where an organic molecule such as glucose is broken down to form 2 molecules of Acetyl-CoA and net production of 2 ATP molecules.
  • Each glucose molecule yields two molecules of ATP and two molecules of Acetyl-CoA.
  • During the process of glycolysis 2 molecules of energy carrier, NADH which are then taken to energy transport chain to produce more ATP.
<h3>Kreb's cycle</h3>
  • It is the second phase of aerobic respiration that involves a series of reactions catalyzed by various enzymes.
  • Acetyl-CoA from glycolysis undergoes a series of reaction to produce six molecules of NADH, two molecules of FADH2, together with carbon dioxide and two molecules of ATP.
  • During Kreb's cycle Acetyl-CoA is converted to Citrate to Isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate to Succinyl-CoA to Succinate to Fumarate to malate and lastly to Oxaloacetate.
  • Oxaloacetate is the final molecule formed during the TCA cycle and is essential to enhance the start of Kreb's cycle once more.
<h3>Electron transport chain</h3>
  • It is the final stage of Aerobic respiration, where the six molecules of NADH and two molecules of FADH2 from Kreb's cycle and 2 NADH molecules from glycolysis are used to generate more energy in the form of ATP.
  • This stage generates 34 molecules of ATP.  
  • Keywords: Cellular respiration, energy carriers, energy in the form of ATP, use of energy carriers from glycolysis and citric acid cycle to generate more ATP.

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

A and C have parts that are not directly said by the atricle. D mentions that it says double, which is not directly related to it too. A is something we can determine is true based on the relationship we know between the ocean and fish.

Which term best describes the systems in an animal's body?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

B. interconnected

Explanation:

All the systems in our bodies (humans are indeed animals) are connected with each other to create a functional being. The blood flows throughout the body, providing nutrients; the bones support the structure and protect the heart and lungs. They work together.

Why not A: The systems are all completely necessary. There's nothing extraneous in our bodies, because extraneous stuff takes up energy, and our biology is incredibly economical.

Why not B: They're not interchangeable. How would you like your bones to turn to blood? Uh-huh.

Why not D: They interact with each other consistently, so they're not separate or segregated.

Which of the following is a true statement about sexual vs. asexual reproduction? A. Asexual reproduction, but not sexual reprod
Afina-wow [57]

The correct answer is: B. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit half of their nuclear genes to each of their offspring.

The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction genetic material from two parents is combined, while in asexual reproduction produced offspring is genetically identical to the one parent. So, advantage of sexual reproduction is that produced unique organisms contribute to genetic diversity (variation is formed). But, comparing to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction requires more energy and lasts longer.

Asexual reproduction is found in lower organisms and can be in different forms: budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, spore formation.

With the exception of olfaction, all sensory pathways first travel to the __________, which acts as a relay and processing stati
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B-thalamus.

Explanation:

Thalamus is a small olive shaped structure located in the brain beneath the cerebrum.

Thalamus serves as a relay station of the brain which has an important role in directing the sensory input signals to the appropriate location in the cerebral cortex of the impulses travelling from the body, ears, eyes and other senses (except for smell).

This happens as the thalamus is subdivided into a number of nuclei which deals with analyzing particular information and then sending the information from that nucleus to cerebral cortex.

Thus, option B-thalamus is the correct answer.
