Answer:

In cellular respiration, glycolysis is the first step in which glucose is oxidized into pyruvate. The electrons released by glucose during its oxidation is taken by NAD⁺ which gets reduced to NADH in glycolysis.

This NADH then again get oxidized by transferring the electron to oxygen through an electron transport chain present in mitochondria. This electron transfer is necessary for ATP generation for cell and regeneration of NAD⁺ that can again be used in glycolysis.

So when a chemical used that prevents NADH from being oxidized then no electron will be transferred to oxygen so oxygen will not be consumed and no ATP will be generated and also no NAD⁺ will be available for glycolysis.

Therefore all the metabolic process will stop and no consumption of oxygen will occur which will lead to the death of the seedling.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

d) A constitutively active mutant form of PKA in skeletal muscle cells would lead to an excess in the amount of glycogen available.

Explanation:

This occurs in the process of Glycogenolysis. The process involves breaking down of glycogen to glucose  -1- phosphate and glycogen which helps in the release of glucose into the blood stream to prevent hypoglycemia(low blood sugar). The glucose-1-phosphate is later converted to glucose -6-phosphate. The latter enters the glycolytic pathway in which the reaction is catalysed by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.

This homeostatic glucose regulation  is regulated by the protein kinase(PKA)/ cAMP pathway in the skeletal muscles, the liver and the pancreas.

The nitrogen cycle could not exsist without
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The nitrogen cycle could not exist without first nitrogen. The cycle is about this specific element which goes to show that if this element is not present then, there will not be any nitrogen cycle. Also, an important factor for the cycle is the presence of the bacteria and other microorganism which are needed for the fixation.
