Answer: The pyruvic acid used in glycolysis has three carbon atoms which are split apart and combined with CoA. They make acetyl CoA which has 2 carbons. The third carbon combines with oxygen creating carbon dioxide.

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by
Leto [7]

Answer:

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by removing carbon dioxide that is produced during respiration (third option).

Explanation:

The lungs are in charge of the breathing process, being the main organ of the respiratory system. Each lung is considered an excretory organ —belonging to the excretory system— since it is capable of eliminating the carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced by the metabolism during expiration.

As a result of the gaseous exchange, the oxygen entering the lungs through the inhaled air passes into the blood, while the CO₂ is removed from the blood. This CO₂ is removed during expiration, which makes the lungs part of the excretory system.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>The excretory system does </em><u><em>not introduce more oxygen into the lungs</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <em>The </em><u><em>circulation of blood in and out of the lungs</em></u><em> is a function of the circulatory system. </em>
  • <u><em>Urine is not produced by breathing</em></u><em>.</em>

Suppose that a leaf disk that has had the air sucked out is placed in bicarbonate solution under a dim light that results in a l
saul85 [17]

The answer is; NO


This is because the leaf would not have tiny oxygen bubbles spread across its base (because the base is where most stomata are) that would help it float on the water. The reason is that the oxygen produced in the process of photosynthesis would be consumed in respiration because the rates of the two biochemical processes are the same.

Explain why it would be logical that the intracellular concentration of many molecules is near the Km of the enzymes for which t
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The intracellular is where enzymes need to perform optimally or near optimum.

Explanation:

The Km is the concentration of molecules where an enzyme performs at half of its maximum velocity (Vmax). Therefore, when molecules are near Km the enzyme is able to hydrolyze molecules nearer its Vmax.

What processes are involved in getting a tan and then having it fade away?​
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

To understand the tanning process one first needs to realize that the skin is comprised of several different types of cells. Each type of cell has a specific function. The cells involved primarily in the tanning process are called melanocytes. Melanocytes are located at the base of the epidermis between the epidermis and the dermis below. Melanocytes use the amino acid tyrosine to produce melanin. This melanin leaves the melanocytes and travels up through the epidermis where it reacts with the UVA and UVB radiation through a chemical reaction darkening the pigmentation of the skin. As we already know the skin consists of three layers of tissue: The epidermis or outer layer, the dermis or inner layer and the subcutaneous layer
