Answer:

Uranium

Nuclear reactors require the use of nuclear fuels, elements that can be readily altered and will release thermal energy. Uranium is the most common element used as a nuclear fuel, although thorium is also possible.

Explanation:

All nuclear power plants use nuclear fission, and most nuclear power plants use uranium atoms. During nuclear fission, a neutron collides with a uranium atom and splits it, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.

Pyruvate is a direct precursor of anapleurotic reactions which produce which intermediates of the tca cycle?
Virty [35]

The correct answer is:  oxaloacetate

Anaplerotic reactions are chemical reactions that form intermediates that can be used in the further steps of metabolic pathways. These reactions are very important, because it is crucial for the cell to regulate concentrations of TCA cycle metabolites and intermediates.

The reaction in which pyruvate is converted to oxaloacetate is catalyzed by pyruvate carboxylase and it occurs in mitochondria. Also, pyruvate can be converted to L-malate, in a similar way.
