Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is a natural process that occurs in cells in order to maintain the balance between the intercellular medium and the extracellular medium, that is, osmosis aims to maintain cellular homeostasis.

This process is characterized by the movement of water in and out of the cell through the cell membrane. Osmosis occurs when the concentration of water inside the cell is out of balance with the concentration of water outside the cell, so the water passes through the membrane to balance these concentrations.

Answer:

a limousine driver dropping off a couple at the school prom

Explanation:

The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is a metabolic pathway by which carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids can be oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Coenzyme A (CoA) is a key coenzyme in the citric acid cycle. Coenzyme A acts as a carrier of acyl groups: its acetyl-coenzyme A form delivers the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle in order to be oxidized for energy production. During the citric acid cycle, Coenzyme A delivers the acetyl group to oxaloacetate (a four-carbon molecule), in order to form citrate (a six-carbon molecule that contains three carboxyl groups). Subsequently, citrate is oxidized and decarboxylated to produce a succinyl CoA, 2 CO2, and 2 NADH.
