The Kidneys.

The plasma passes through the kidney where it is filtered, a special filtration unit called "glomeruli" and then excreted as a low molecular weighted product into the urine. The purpose of our urine is to secrete waste products from the body. So you can see how the glomerular filtration mechanism of the kidneys plays a major role in the function of our bodies. The primary function of our kidneys is to filter out all the "bad stuff" in lamest terms.

Answer:

This is by co enzymes NADH and FADH2(adenine dinucleotide hydrogen and falvin adeninedinucleotide hydrogen. They are the co-enzymes that convey (electrons in )hydrogen atoms from the Kreb's cycle to the matrix of the mitochondria.They are not enzymes,but rather, enhances the work of enzymes.

These co enzymes are oxidized by the loss of hydrogen atoms.The hydrogen spits into electrons and protons in the matrix.The protons is pumped into the intramembranes by the proton motive force produced from the electron transport chains,and returned to the matrix, to generate electrochemical gradient needed for energy to be used by ATPase synthase for ATPs production

How many NADH molecules are produced on each turn of the citric acid cycle?

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Three

Explanation:

Citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is the part of cellular respiration. This cycle is carried out in the mitochondria matrix. Citric acid cycle begins with the entry of 2 carbon compound acetyl Coenzyme A (CoA). In one turn of the cycle, one molecule of acetyl CoA enters into the cycle. On completion of one turn of citric acid cycle, two molecules of carbon dioxide, 3 molecules of reduced NADH and one molecule of reduced FADH₂ and 1 molecule of GTP are produced.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Protein synthesis and the RNA synthesis is the total process that takes place together in each and every cell which is the Central Dogma theory.

In this theory, the RNAs are produced from the DNA by means of the process of transcription. In this process, the enzyme DNA dependent RNA polymerase acts as the primary DNA.

In the second step, the RNA produces the protein by the process of translation. This process involves the participation of each and every types of RNA like the rRNA, tRNA, and mRNA. These RNAs are all involved to form proteins by accumulation of amino acids and polymerizing them to form proteins.

Answer:

a. conservative replication

b. semi conservative replication

c. dispersive replication

d. discontinuous replication

e. continuous replication

The CORRECT ANSWER IS C.

c. dispersive replication

Explanation:

The attached image shows a single band that becomes lighter (in volume) and increase in darker intensity (in times of color) is revealed with consecutive replications. The major pattern that would produce these outcome is dispersive replication.

Conservative replication do reveal two bands (a 14N for the wholly latest molecule, and a 15N for the totally antiquated molecule) after the initial replication. Therefore, this wholly wrong.

Semi-conservative replication reveal an individual band of transitional weight after the initial replication, followed by two bands following the second replication (one of transitional weight, and the other at the 14N position). These two bands is observed in each following replication, with the transitional weight becoming lighter in color as the 14N band is seen to appear darker in color.

The real pattern gives an individual band that pinpoints to all molecules in an individual replicative cycle possessing the same constituents.

Dispersive replication, has its molecules to be a blend of old (15N) and new (14N) strands. Each replication raises the ratio of new to old strands as it explains the reason an individual band is shown raised (lighter in weight) with every replication.
