Oxidation of an amino acid via the citric acid cycle yields just as much ATP as oxidation of glucose.

Biology
1 answer:
Bezzdna [24]3 years ago
3 0

The above statement is true.

<u>Explanation:</u>

During the oxidation of an amino acid through the Citric acid cycle or the Kreb’s cycle produces 2 ATP. Through oxidation of Glucose also 2 ATP molecules are obtained.

In the citric acid cycle the acetate is consumed along with water and the NAD+ is reduced to NADH with carbon dioxide as its waste product and stored in the form of chemical energy as two molecules of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).  In oxidation of glucose through glycolysis without the use of Oxygen 2 molecules of ATP is produced.

Describe the fate of cells with or without cell walls in various "tonic" solutions (hypertonic, hypotonic, etc.).
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

In hypertonic solutions, the cells will shrink and in hypotonic solutions the cells will fill up

Cells with cell walls will be able to control their tonicity better than cells without cell walls.

Explanation:

Cells with cell walls

  • In a hypertonic solution (high solute concentration), water will flow out of the cell into the solution until equilibrium is reached. If the solution has a high concentration of solute the cell may undergo<u> plasmolysis where the plasma membrane detaches from the cell wall.</u>
  • In a hypotonic solution: Water will flow into the cell because it has a higher solute concentration compared to the solution. This will continue until the cell is <u>turgid</u>. If more water continues to enter the cell, the cell is at risk of bursting, this takes a while because the cell wall will withstand the pressure.

Cells without cell walls

  • In a hypertonic solution: Water will diffuse out of the cell, however there is no cell wall so cell is in danger of shrinking and dying.
  • In hypotonic solution: Water will diffuse into cell,the cell will become turgid and if water keeps moving in the cell will burst because it has no cell wall to resist the pressure.

Macromolecules in the cell can often interact transiently as a result of noncovalent interactions. These weak interactions also
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b) "the number of chemical bonds between the molecules".

Explanation:

Chemical bonds are the forces that enable the formation of compounds. The number of chemical bonds is a determining factor to know if an interaction will be transient of stable. The more chemical bonds the more stable an interaction will be. Few chemical bonds between molecules makes an interaction unstable and easy to break, enabling transient interactions that are key to certain biological pathways.
