Vlada [557]3 years ago

Answer:

C

Explanation:

pyruvate dehydrogenase is the enzyme which catalysis pyruvate to acetyl Co -A. Thus,it  ensures the formation of link reaction/ bridge reaction for linking glycolysis with Citric acid cycle. Therefore, inhibition of this enzyme, prevent link reaction, and there reduction in pyruvate utilization and therefore prevent the  commencements of Citric acid cycle, with consequent  reduction in glucose oxidation. as there is no  reaction of acetyl Co A (from link reaction from pyruvate )   with 4C oxaloacatate in the kreb Cycle to form Citrate in Kreb's cycle. Thus the heart  depends on fatty acid supply for energy.

Some materials can move across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient by
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Molecules which move against the concentration gradient across the cell membrane employ the mechanism of active transportation.

Explanation:

Normally, permitted molecules moves across the cell membrane of the cell by the process of diffusion and osmosis. This is used when molecules move from hypertonic region to hypotonic region (if ions) and hypotonic to hypertonic (if water). This is a passive transportation which do not require the expense of energy from the cell.

In contrast, when molecules move in or out of the cell against their concentration gradient, that is ions moving from hypotonic region to hypertonic region, they implore the expense of energy in form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the involvement of the membrane carrier proteins. This is called active transport.

Why can't more than one sperm enter an egg?
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>Only one sperm normally fuses with an egg because if more than one sperm fuses, through a process called polyspermy, development of the zygote usually stops.


</span>
<span>Fertilization of one egg by two sperm is possible, but the resulting zygote is almost never viable because such a zygote would have three sets of chromosomes instead of the normal two. This condition, called triploidy, is usually incompatible with life. Those rare triploid infants that do survive to term have severe and multiple birth defects and rarely live more than a few days. </span>
