A centromere holds sister chromatids together.
Answer:
A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Explanation:
Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).
Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.
Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism
CH2O5 +603-6CO2 + 6H2O + energy isn't the evidence of conservation of mass in cellular respiration.
Option B
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. And this law holds good for all sorts of chemical reactions except the nuclear reactions.
In case of cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen to produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water and energy. Now this energy that is produced isn't produced in expense of mass, but in expense of chemical bonds that are present in glucose molecules.
Also if we calculate the number of atoms on each side of the reaction, the number of atoms remain same as well as number of atoms of individual elements also remain same.
Answer:
Blood plasma is a 'yellowish liquid' component of blood that holds the blood cells in whole blood in suspension. It is the liquid part of the blood that carries cells and proteins throughout the body. It makes up about 55% of the body's total blood volume. It is the intravascular fluid part of extracellular fluid. It is mostly water, and contains important dissolved proteins, glucose, clotting factors, electrolytes, hormones, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. It plays a vital role in an intravascular osmotic effect that keeps electrolyte concentration balanced and protects the body from infection and other blood disorders.
