Answer:Decarboxylation, the Reduction of NAD+, and the attachment of CoA.

Explanation:

Step 1 Decarboxylation: the co-enzyme thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) catalyzes the decarboxylation of the carboxyl group of pyruvate and given off as a molecule of CO2. The two carbon unit remains attached to the enzyme.

Step 2 Reduction: The remaining two-carbon (hydroxyethyl group) is oxidized to form acetyl group. The extracted electrons are transferred to NAD+, storing energy in the form of NADH.

Step 3. The last step is the attachment of coenzyme A, a sulfur compound derived from a B vitamin, is attached to the acetyl group to form acetyl CoA, the Co-enzymes TPP, Lipoamide and FAD will be regenerated.

The acetyl CoA will go into TCA for complete oxidation.

At which position would the skater have the most kinetic energy? Explain your reasoning
Lera25 [3.4K]

At four he is the highest, with the most potential energy, when he reaches 3 he will have the most kinetic energy as he is in the process of turning all the potential energy to kinetic, as he reaches 3 and 2 he loses all the kinetic energy, when he is at one, and not in motion ha has only potential nergy that is un-used.

Explain what the greenhouse effect is, use diagrams if you wish.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The greenhouse effect refers to the heating effects produced by the earth's atmosphere on the planet as a result of the atmosphere absorbing reflected radiation from the sun by the earth. </em>

The earth's atmosphere is a blanket of gases, some of which are referred to as greenhouse gases. These gases have the capacity to trap radiations coming from the sun that is reflected by the ground layer of the earth. Thus, they produce a warming effect on the earth.

A bulk of the <u>radiation coming from the sun </u>is reflected back into space by the earth's stratosphere. The small percentage that passes through are dispersed in different directions and some of them pass through the atmospheric blanket to reach the ground layer of the earth. While some are absorbed by the ground itself, <u>some are emitted back</u> into the atmosphere where the <u>greenhouse gases trap a large portion</u> and prevent them from escaping back into space.

This leads to the warming of the earth and the entire phenomenon is referred to as the greenhouse effect.
