Answer:

14 CO₂ will be released in the second turn of the cycle

Explanation:

<u>Complete question goes like this</u>, "<em>The CO2 produced in one round of the citric acid cycle does not originate in the acetyl carbons that entered that round. If acetyl-CoA is labeled with 14C at the carbonyl carbon, how many rounds of the cycle are required before 14CO2 is released?</em>"

<u>The answer to this is</u>;

  • The labeled Acetyl of Acetyl-CoA becomes the terminal carbon (C4) of succinyl-CoA (which becomes succinate that is a symmetrical four carbon diprotic dicarboxylic acid from alpha-ketoglutarate).
  • Succinate converts into fumarate. Fumarate converts into malate, and malate converts into oxaloacetate. Because succinate is symmetrical, the oxaloacetate can have the label at C1 or C4.
  • When these condense with acetyl-CoA to begin the second round of the cycle, both of these carbons are discharged as CO2 during the isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase reactions (formation of alpha-ketoglutarate and succinyl-CoA respectively).

Hence, 14 CO₂ will be released in the second turn of the cycle.

Gekata [30.6K]

The correct answer is - A) Swamps tend to be humid while deserts tend to be dry.

The swamps are places that are dominated by shallow, murky waters. The precipitation at these places is relatively high, and the climate tends to be pretty stable throughout the year, being relatively warm. Because of the precipitation, the water surface, and the temperatures, the swamps tend to be very humid places.

The deserts are the total opposite. They are dry all year round, with maybe one or two days in the year where precipitation will occur, though occasionally that may be once every several years. Depending on the type of desert, the climate is either very hot all year and very dry, or very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter and dry.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Phosphorus cycles between living things and the soil.

Plants absorb phosphates from the soil and turn them into organic compounds through assimilation.

Animals eat plants and pass the phosphorus through the food chain from one animal to the other.

An animal dies and decomposes, returning the phosphorus to the soil.
