Ans.

Fats are biomolecules, made up of hydrocarbon compounds (compounds made up of carbon and hydrogen). Examples of fats include triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids. Fats are important for the body as they are major components of cell membrane or plasma membrane along with some protein and carbohydrate molecules.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. Form part of the cell membrane

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Fats are among the three major nutrients in food, other being proteins and carbohydrates.
  • The body uses fat as a source of fuels, and fat is the major storage form of energy in the body.
  • Fat has other function such as insulation and protection of vital organs such as the heart and the lungs.
  • Fats also acts as chemical messengers helping proteins carry out their functions. Fats are also major components of the cell membrane which regulates materials in and out of the cell.

What happens in Citric acid cycle?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cellular respiration generally involves breaking down of large organic molecules to release ATP (energy). Citric Acid cycle, also known as Kreb's cycle or Tricarboxylic acid cycle is the second stage of the cellular respiration (unique to aerobic organisms). Citric acid cycle occurs in the intracellular space or matrix of the mitochondria of eukaryotes.

Glycolysis, which is the first step of cellular respiration, produces pyruvate which is then converted to Acetyl CoA in order to enter the Kreb's cycle by first combining with oxaloacetate. Generally, citric acid cycle involves an eight-steps reaction consisting of series of reduction-oxidation, hydration, dehydration, decarboxylation reactions, with each step catalyzed by different enzymes.

In a nutshell, oxaloacetate is generated back at the completion of the cycle alongside 2 molecules of CO2, one GTP/ATP molecule and electron donors; NADH2 and FADH2. These reduced electron donors enter the third step of aerobic cellular respiration and act as the first electron donor in the Electron transport chain.
