C would be correct because atoms can be either negative or positive charged and they can make up living and nonliving things

The answer to your question is C.) Small particles that make up all matter. 

This is the answer because:

B is incorrect. An atom is both positive and negative as it has both protons and electrons. So B is automatically out because it only says negative. 

A is incorrect. Although it is true that atoms are charged particles, they don't just make up living things. They make up all matter. 

So you are left with C which is true that atoms are both small particles and they make up all matter .

Hope this helped!

What fraction of the carbon dioxide exhaled by animals is generated by the reactions of the citric acid cycle
puteri [66]

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

Pyruvate is produced by the glycolysis in cytoplasm. The oxidation of pyruvate takes place in mitochondrial matrix.  

Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the reaction given below:

Pyruvate + NAD⁺ + CoA-SH ⇒ acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO₂

1 molecule of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 1 molecule of pyruvate.

Also,  

2 molecules of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 2 molecules of pyruvate (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate).

Also, acetyl-CoA further goes into the citric acid cycle and produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide.

Thus pyruvate produces total 3 molecules of CO₂  and hence glucose produces 6 molecules of CO₂ (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate)

Thus,

<u>Fraction = 2/6 = 1/3</u>
