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

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>

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

1) In eukaryotic flagella, the fibers that slide past one another due to the activity of dynein proteins are microtubules.

2) Many cell organelles, most notably the nucleus, are anchored by intermediate filaments which are assembled from a diverse class of proteins.

3) Centrosomes are sites where protein dimers assemble into microtubules.

4) The extension of pseudopodia in amoeba is due to the regulated assembly and destruction of microfilaments.

5) The only cytoskeletal fibers not associated with intracellular movement or whole cell locomotion are the intermediate filaments.

6) During muscle contractions, myosin motor proteins move across tracks of microfilaments.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is a very important element of the cell, and is composed of three different structures: microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments.

<u>Microtubules</u> are structures in the shape of hollow tubes that <u>give shape to the cell</u>. Microtubules also participate in cell motility by <u>providing a route</u> for the organelles to move through.

Intermediate filaments are the only ones that do not participate in cell motility: their main function is to <u>provide mechanical support for the plasma membrane</u>.

Microfilaments are a key component in <u>cell motility</u>, and also associate with myosin (a protein) to produce <u>muscle contraction</u>. Microfilaments also give the cell the ability to grow <u>pseudopods</u>.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Option D, create suspense

Explanation:

In the beginning of the statement, the speaker has not mentioned the name of the natures best natural beg. He first described its extinguishing characteristics and then revealed its name “Chiroptera” and the problem “endangered species even being the best bug controller”  

A quotation is the direct representation of someone else’s statement, which is not the case here. Hence option A is not correct. It is also not a story with a plot.

Option C is also incorrect as personal reference based statement describes some personal happening, event or incident.

Hence, option D is correct
