Biology
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 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>

According to the chart, which substance has the lowest OH- concentration?
SVEN [57.7K]

The correct answer is option (B) lemon juice.

pH refers to the logarithmic scale used to indicate the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the activity of the hydrogen ion. Solutions with a pH less that 7 are considered acidic and the solutions with a pH greater that 7 are considered to be basic. A pH of 7 is neither an acid nor a base and is considered neutral.

An acid has a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H+)  and a base has a low concentration of hydrogen ions. Higher the hydrogen ion concentration, pH is acidic. Among the given substances, lemon juice has a pH of 2, urine has a pH of 6, tomato juice has a pH of 4 and black coffee has a pH of 5.  Since lemon juice has a pH of 2, it has the lowest –OH ion concentration.
