Glycerol is the main base in triglyceride.
Facilitates the roots of plants going down towards gravity and the stems to rise up away from gravity. ... Thus, the difference is that geotropism is driven by gravity and phototropism is driven by light.
Answer:
<em>Carolus Linnaeus devised the binomial nomenclature system under which the organisms were named using their Genus name and Species name. </em>The Genus name was written first, forward by the species name. The system of binomial nomenclature allowed for assigning a scientific name to all the organisms so that the conversations between scientists could be made easier. For example, humans have the scientific name<u><em>,</em></u><em> Homo Sapiens</em>, where Homo is the genus name and sapiens is the species name.

Question: Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?
A) because pyruvate is toxic to the cells
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
C) in order to use lactate in the citric acid cycle
D) because lactate is needed to produce ATP
Answer:
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
Explanation:
Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) are the aerobic stages of cellular respiration. ETC regenerates NAD+ and FAD+ by oxidation of NADH and FADH2 produced during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. Here, oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor.
Glycolytic reactions use NAD+ as an electron acceptor and produce NADH. Therefore, a constant supply of NAD+ is required to sustain glycolysis. In absence of oxygen, ETC cannot occur and organisms convert pyruvate into lactate. Pyruvate is reduced in lactate and NADH serves as the electron donor. Thereby, lactate fermentation regenerates NAD+ to continue the process of glycolysis.
