Answer: & Explanation:

The overall for equation for gluconeogenesis is

2 Pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 GTP + 2 NADH+ + 2 H+ + 4 H2O → 1 Glucose + 4 ADP + 2 GDP + 6 Pi + 2 NAD+

From the equation

2 molecules of pyruvate is needed to generate one molecule of glucose.

No NADH is produced, but 2 molecules of NADH are used during the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction in glycolysis.

No ATP is produced, but 4 molecules of ATP are used to generate one molecule of glucose. During the carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate in the mitochondria by pyruvate carboxylase one ATP is required for each pyruvate molecule. Also during the phosphorylation of 3-phospho glycerate to 1,3- Bisphospho glycerate, 1 ATP is required for each molecule.

6 Pi are produced in the generation of a molecule of glucose.

.. Which of the following mutations would have the potential to affect future generations of
ch4aika [34]

Answer choices:

  • A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
  • A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
  • A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
  • A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell

Answers:

A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell

Explanation:

Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.

Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.

What five factors affect photosynthesis and it's rate?
mixer [17]
There are more than 5 factors, but here are perhaps the most important ones:
1) Light: Light energy is a crucial component in photosynthesis, as it is the primary energy source of the process.
2) Carbon Dioxide: Another key ingredient in photosynthesis.
3) Temperature: There is an optimum temperature for photosynthesis that varies from organism to organism. Too cold or two hot, and rate of photosynthesis will be lower. 
4) Water - Like almost all life process, water is a key component in photosynthesis. 
5) Oxygen. A common misconception is that plants only "breathe in" carbon dioxide and expel oxygen. Plant cells actually require oxygen as well in order to function, and thus oxygen is a necessary part of photosynthesis.

Which statements describe a situation with a displacement of zero
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

An object that starts and ends at the same point would have zero displacements.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is the property of a body or an object to be moved from one place to another.

Thus a body that moves or is moved from point A to point B has been displaced.

A body with zero displacements either did not move at all or finished at the same point it started.

For example, a body that moves from point A to B, and then back to A will have zero displacements.
