What is removed from pyruvate during its conversion into an acetyl group?

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>

Similarity of paddy and sunflower plant
muminat
<h2>Hello!</h2>

There are some difference between this plants, however we can find some similarity too.

- We can use both plant's seeds to different purposes since both provide us with oil, rice, among other derived foods.

- Both are annual plants. Annual plants complete its life cycle within one year. The life cycle of plants goes from the germination to the seed production.

- Both plants have a non-woody stem. Sunflower and paddy plants are non-woody or herbaceous (herbs) plants.

Have a nice day!

Identify the dependent and independent variable in each of the examples below: 1. White mice are fed a treat every time they man
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

1. IV: Time the Bell is rang DV: Time it takes to learn the task

2. IV: Nitrogen fertilizers DV: Diversity of fish

3. IV: Time of radiation DV: Percentage of successful germination

Explanation:

The independent variable of an experiment refers to the variable that the experimenter manipulates or changes in order to effect a measurable response in the dependent variable while the dependent variable is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable.

1. In scenario 1, the TIME THE BELL RINGS is the independent variable because that is what the experimenter controls or has power to change. On the other hand, the dependent variable is the TIME IT TAKES TO LEARN THE TASK because it is the measured variable that responds to the independent variable.

2. In scenario 2, the USE OF NITROGEN FERTILIZER is the independent variable while the DIVERSITY OF FISH is the dependent variable.

3. In case 3, the TIME OF RADIATION is the independent variable while the PERCENTAGE OF SUCCESSFUL GERMINATION is the dependent variable.
