This unique head shape has been termed the cephalofoil in recognition of its wing-like appearance. ... Some suggest the cephalofoil acts like a canard to provide hydrodynamic lift and increase maneuvering capabilities. Another hypothesis is that the cephalofoil functions in prey manipulation.
Oxidoreductases are the enzymes that catalyze or speedup oxidation or reduction reactions. Reductases are the enzymes used for the speedup of reduction process whereas oxidases are the enzymes which speedup the process of oxidation. Hydrolysis is a process in which water is added to a substance for breaking of a single bond present between molecules of substrate.
In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
In anabolic reactions that involve the synthesis of a large molecule from smaller precursor molecules, NADH and ATP are consumed when they provide the needed electrons or energy.
In catabolic reactions that involve the breakdown of a molecule into smaller subunits, such as glucose to pyruvate, NADH and ATP are produced.
In the reaction Pyruvate +NADH-Lactate +NAD, pyruvate is being reduced.
In the reaction Pyruvate NADH-Lactate +NAD, NADH is being oxidized.
Explanation:
Being involved in synthesis, anabolic reactions require energy in the form of energy storing molecules such as NADH and ATP. Anabolic processes utilize energy produced by the catabolism of complex compounds.
Catabolic processes produce energy or energy storing compounds by breaking down complex substances into simpler ones. All steps of cellular respiration are catabolic processes since they generate energy in the form of ATP or energy yielding molecules such as NADH and FADH2.
Anaerobic respiration takes place during intense physical activity due to which adequate oxygen does not reach the cells. Insufficient oxygen shuttles the pyruvate molecules produced by glycolysis into the lactic acid pathway that reduces pyruvate into lactic acid.
Since, NADH is donating its H+, it is being oxidized to NAD+.
Solar and geothermal energy are both considered renewable energy sources. ... Nuclear energy produces nuclear waste, while solar and geothermal energy do not produce a significant amount of waste.
