Biology
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

carbon dioxide

Explanation:

At end of glycolysis, two pyruvate molecules are formed which contain lots of energy that can be extracted by further processes.

<u>Oxidation of pyruvate converts pyruvate which is a molecule with three carbons into acetyl CoA which is a two-carbon molecule which is attached to Coenzyme with the production of NADH  and one carbon dioxide molecule is released in the oxidation process.</u>  

Acetyl CoA further acts as a fuel for citric acid cycle in next stage of cellular respiration.

<u>Pyruvate + Coenzyme A + NAD⁺ ⇒ acetyl CoA + CO₂ + NADH + H⁺</u>

        A          B

O     AO        BO

O     AO        BO

<h3>What are the impacts of coal mining?</h3>

The burning of coal for energy produces highly toxic effluents, such as mercury and other heavy metals such as vanadium, cadmium, arsenic and lead. In addition, the release of carbon dioxide causes pollution in the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming and contributing to acid rain.

With this information, we can conclude that Sedimentation and pollution of rivers due to improper disposal of unused material would make life on the family's property unfeasible.
