<h2>TCA cycle </h2>

Explanation:

TCA or citric acid cycle is an oxidative pathway which occurs in matrix of mitochondria that completely oxidize Acetyl CoA in form of CO2 and produce NADH, FADH2 and GTP

The aim of this cycle is to fulfill the energy demand of cell

In the first step of the cycle, Acetyl CoA combines with a four-carbon acceptor molecule, oxaloacetate, to form a six-carbon molecule called citrate

After a quick rearrangement, this six-carbon molecule releases two of its carbons as carbon dioxide molecules in a pair of similar reactions, producing a molecule of NADH each time

The enzymes that catalyze these reactions are key regulators of the citric acid cycle, speeding it up or slowing it down based on the cell’s energy needs

The remaining four-carbon molecule undergoes a series of additional reactions, first making an ATP molecule—or, in some cells, a similar molecule called GTP—then reducing the electron carrier FAD to FADH2 and finally generating another NADH; This set of reactions regenerates the starting molecule, oxaloacetate, so the cycle can repeat

Overall, one turn of the citric acid cycle releases two carbon dioxide molecules and produces three NADH, one FADH2, one ATP or GTP

The citric acid cycle goes around twice for each molecule of glucose that enters cellular respiration because there are two pyruvates—and thus, two Acetyl CoA made per glucose

Intermediate photographs should show the relation of evidence to other parts of the crime scene. A. True B. False​
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

<em>"adjective </em>

<em>adjective: intermediate </em>

<em>coming between two things in time, place, order, character, etc."</em>

Pictures correlating to the crime scene are like puzzles to find out the other meanings or cause of another picture.

For example:

A opened jug of milk sits on a table.

There's a blurred figure of a hand hitting the jug.

The jug is now laying on the table, dripping everywhere.

-

If we take out the middle picture "There's a blurred figure of a hand hitting the jug.", then we would not know what hit it over. Did someone bump into the table? Did a cat climb onto the table and release its almighty strength onto it? All we would know that it was once standing upright.

TLDR; Without intermediate pictures, it would be hard to grasp what happened on the scene. Intermediate pictures all have something in common with each other to help interpret what occurred to the viewer.

Answer:

Ribose

Explanation:

DNA is a large molecule, a type of nucleic acid which store and act as a genetic material of the cell. DNA molecule is formed by the repeating monomer units called nucleotides.

Each nucleotide is made up of three subunits as:

1. 5-C sugar: De-oxyribose formed by the removal of oxygen group from 2' OH group of ribose. Ribose is the sugar molecule present in RNA nucleic acid.

2. Phosphate group (PO₄³⁻)

3. Nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, adenine and cytosine.

Thus, ribose is the correct answer.
