During glycolysis, when glucose is catabolized to pyruvate, most of the energy of glucose is a. retained in the pyruvate. b. tra

Leona [35]

Answer:

a. retained in the pyruvate

Explanation:

Glycolysis is a cytoplasmic pathway that converts glucose into two pyruvate, releasing a modest amount of energy captured in two substrate-level phosphorylations and one oxidation reaction.

Following are the important enzymes in it :

Hexokinase
Phosphofructokinase
Pyruvate kinase

Aerobic glycolysis yields 2ATP/glucose plus 2NADH/glucose but most of the energy is retained in pyruvate which is then converted into Acetyl-CoA and enters the kreb's cycle.

How might mendel's conclusions have differed if he had studied two traits determined by alleles carried on the same chromosome?

tekilochka [14]

He would not have seen segregation of alleles and so would not have Mendel's Law of Segregation.
A dihybrid cross would give in the F2 a ratio of 3:1 instead of 9:3:3:1.(assuming no crossing over)
