Lisa had 20 grams of water. She poured out 15 grams. Which of the following physical properties of the water changes? (4 points)
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Volume

Explanation:

The boiling point and density of water never changes, no matter how much you add

So the answer CAN'T be Boiling point or Density

Electrical Conductivity changes <em>only when the number of ions in a solution changes</em>

So it CAN'T be Electrical Conductivity

It has to be VOLUME because volume is the only physical property that changes when you add or take away liquid from a liquidous mixture

Glycolysis ends in the production of _____.
ELEN [110]

The answer to this question is pyruvic acid.

This process is also known as the Embden-Meyerhof  or glycolytic pathway and is undoubtedly the most common pathway for glucose degradation to pyruvate in the second stage of catabolism. It is found in all major groups of microorganisms  and functions in the presence or absence of oxygen.  Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasmic matrix of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

The pathway as a whole is divided into two parts: The initial 6 carbon stage  and secondly, the 3 carbon stage.

One of the products, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate,  is converted directly to pyruvic acid in a five step process.
