The free energy for the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water is -686 kcal/mol, and the free energy for the reduction of NAD+ to

NADH is +53 kcal/mol. Why are only two molecules of NADH formed during glycolysis when it appears that as many as a dozen could be formed?

Answer:

Most of free energy available from oxidation of the glucose remains in pyruvate.

Explanation:

The overall reaction of the process glycolysis is:

Glucose + 2 NAD⁺ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi ⇒ 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H⁺ + 2ATP

Glucose is oxidized to give 2 molecules of pyruvate and 2 molecules of NADH and ATP (Energy currency).

<u>Though the free energy of oxidation of glucose is high but only 2 NADH is formed because the most of the free energy that is being released from the oxidation of glucose remains in the pyruvate which is produced in the reaction and thus only 2 molecules are formed.</u>

How many chloride ions are in a 220 grams of calcium chloride?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: Hello, There! Your Answer is Below

2.4 x 1024 ions

Explanation:

220 g of CaCl₂  =  X moles

Solving for X,

                                                X  =  (220 g × 1 mol) ÷ 110.98 g

                                                X  =  1.98 moles

As,

                          1 mole contained  =  1.20 × 10²⁴ Cl⁻ Ions

Then,

                   1.98 mole will contain  =  X Cl⁻ Ions

Solving for X,

                                                 X  =  (1.98 mol × 1.20 × 10²⁴ Ions) ÷ 1mol

                                                 X  =  2.38 × 10²⁴ Cl⁻ Ions

Hope this Helps!

Have a great DAy!

A student wanted to investigate the effect of light on the growth of
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D.phototropism

Explanation:

Phototropism is a type of tropism in which a plant or plant part responds to light. According to this question, a student wanted to investigate the effect of light on the growth of cress seedlings. The student used three different pots for the experiment.

Pot 1 was placed with light from above. Pot 2 was placed in a cupboard with no light. Pot 3 was placed in a window with light from one direction only. However, the image attached to this question shows that the plants in the different pots face different directions in response to light, which depicts phototropism

PLSSSSSSSS help !!!!! One mole of an element contains which of the following?
irina [24]

Answer:

6.02 × 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

The number 6.02 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number. It is the number of atoms,  ions and molecules in one gram atoms of an element, one gram ions of substance and one gram molecule of a compound.

For example:

32 g of oxygen = one mole = 6.02 × 10²³  atoms O.

1.008 g of hydrogen = one mole = 6.02 × 10²³  atoms of H.

or

18 g of H₂O =one mole = 6.02 × 10²³  molecules of H₂O

44 g of CO₂ = one mole = 6.02 × 10²³  molecules of CO₂

or

62 g of NO₃⁻ = one mole of NO₃⁻ = 6.02 × 10²³  ions of NO₃⁻
