Biology

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>

Ann [662]

Answer:

Proteins are like carbohydrates and fats (lipids) because they contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. On the other hand, proteins also contain _nitrogen__________ while carbohydrates and fats do not.

Explanation:

Proteins are formed by units: amino acids. These are organic molecules that contain carboxyl (COOH) and amino (NH2) groups. These groups bind to the carbon called alpha (α), which also binds to a side chain (R chain) and a hydrogen atom (H). There are 20 types of amino acids.

ValentinkaMS [17]

In the large rainfall is some water remains in the top of the soil the rest of this water is seeped into the ground.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Mainly the absorption of water by the ground depends upon the nature and the fertility of the soil.  
  • When the ground receives the water it mainly accounts for the absorption and then there will be a runoff. The absorption helps to raise the level of groundwater for future usage.
  • The amount of water that can get into the soil mainly depends upon the permeability of the soil surface. The water which can't infiltrate in the soil runs off into the water bodies.  
  • The water is an essential requirement for survival and the existence of biological organisms.

  2. Increased insulation. Dolphins deposit most of their body fat into a thick layer of blubber.
  3. Heat exchange system.
