Answer:

The electron transport chain is a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane to create a gradient of protons that creates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) or energy that is needed in metabolic processes for cellular function.

Among the products of glycolysis, which compounds contain energy that can be used by other biological reactions?a) ATP onlyb) py

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: A (ATP only)

Explanation:

Both NADH and pyruvate are energy store. NADH and pyruvate can not directly be used to drive biological reaction.The metabolism of pyruvate releases energy in the form of ATP. NADH produces ATP through the electron transport chain (ETC). Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is referred to as the energy currency of the cell. ATP is used directly as energy to drive endergonic and exergonic biological reaction.

Answer is ATP only

Answer:

a) $0.316$

b) $0.105$

c) $0.035$

d) $0.0117$

e) $0.0039$

Explanation:

When two heterozygous plants with genotype Bb are crossed, following offspring are produced

Bb * Bb

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

so the probability of blue offspring is $\frac{3}{4}$ and the probability of white offspring is $\frac{1}{4}$

a) Probability of all 4 peas as blue

$\frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4} \\= \frac{81}{256} \\= 0.316$

b) Probability of 3 blue and 1 white

$\frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4}* \frac{3}{4}* \frac{1}{4}\\= \frac{27}{256} \\= 0.105$

c) Probability of 2 blue and 2 white

$\frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4}* \frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{4}\\= 0.035$

d) Probability of 1 blue and 3 white

$\frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4}* \frac{1}{4}\\= \frac{3}{256} \\= 0.0117$

e) Probability of all white

$\frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} \\= \frac{1}{256} \\= 0.0039$

Parents take their 8-year-old daughter into urgent care. the history reveals a low-grade fever of unknown origin and recent onse

Bond [772]

The doctor or nurse will ask a urine sample of the daughter for lab analysis to check for bacteria, red blood cells or white blood cells. Sometimes after the urine lab analysis it will be followed by a urine culture. This test will tell the doctor what kinds of bacteria are the source of the infection and which treatment or medicine will work the most. If the daughter is having frequent infections or low grade fever that the doctor concludes that it may have been caused by an abnormality in the urinary tract, she may have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a computerized tomography (CT) scan or ultrasound. The doctor or nurse may use a contrast dye as well to highlight structures in the child’s urinary tract. Moreover, the doctor may conduct a cystoscopy, using a long, thin tube with a lens (cystoscope) to see inside the child’s bladder and urethra if the child will have recurrent UTIs.
