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.

For most women, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months of the baby’s life
Naily [24]

Answer:

3- Breast-feeding can reduce an infant’s risk of infection, allergies, and certain chronic diseases.

.4- All mothers should consume 500 kcal extra daily while breast-feeding until weaning of the infant.

5- Women with AIDS or active tuberculosis should feed formula rather than breast-feed.

Explanation:

Breastfeeding is also a great benefit to the environment and society, that is, it does not require the use of energy for manufacturing or create waste or air pollution. Also, there is no risk of contamination and it is always at the right temperature and ready to feed. Given the importance of breastfeeding for the health of mothers and babies, Centers for Disease Control and prevention supports breastfeeding through hospital initiatives, work-site accommodation, continuity of care and community support initiatives. Colostrum is the earliest breast-milk produced, beginning in mid-pregnancy (12-18 weeks) and is continually produced for the first few days after baby's birth, it provides all the nutrients and fluid that your newborn needs in the early days, as well as many substances to protect your baby against infections.  Mothers with untreated and active tuberculosis infections are not advised to breastfeed. They may breastfeed after their infection is cured or brought under control so that it does not spread to the infant.

Are the excretory system and urinary system the same
balandron [24]

What is the sequence of organs as the body filters urea into urine within the excretory/urinary system? *
ser-zykov [4K]

Photosynthesis allows plants, algae and certain bacteria to turn sunlight into chemical energy. The amazing feat is achieved because sunlight can fuel a reaction between water and carbon dioxide that, in turn, produces carbohydrates (simple sugars) and oxygen.

Hope this helped
