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.

The presence of variation in the size and shape of bacterial cells of the same species is known as _______.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Correct answer is a pleomorphism

Explanation:

Some bacteria have the ability to change their shape and size which is called pleomorphism. The bacteria which change their shape and size are called pleomorphic bacteria.  

These bacteria change their shape due to the change in the external environment condition. For example, bacteria can from rod to coccus shape as their environmental condition changes.  

Some examples of pleomorphic bacteria are mycoplasma, some members of the Deinococcaceae family, helicobacter pylori, etc. So the correct answer is a.

How does heat energy affect condensation?
pogonyaev

Answer:

Condensation happens when molecules in a gas cool down as the molecules lose heat, they lose energy and slow down. They move closer to other gas molecules and finally the molecules collect together to form a liquid.

In coccidioidomycosis, _______ containing many endospores form in the lungs.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

spherules

Explanation:

Like histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis is acquired by the inhaling fungal spores.

<u>Arthrospores are formed by the hyphal fragmentation in this case. Once in body, fungus differentiates into the spherules which are filled with the endospores. </u>

Most of the C. immitis infections are self-limiting and asymptomati. The endospores are transported in blood, disseminating infection and thus leading to formation of granulomatous lesions on face and nose. I

<u>Thus, spherule is a thick-walled spherical structure which encloses the endospores and occurring in parasitic form of the fungi of genus Coccidioides.</u>
