Answer:
So that oxidation of pyruvate can take place in mitochondria.
Explanation:
Pyruvates is produced in the glycolysis process which occurs in the cytoplasm. So pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm of the cell. Pyruvate is produced by partial oxidation of glucose and to be fully oxidized it has to enter in the mitochondria.
So after entering the mitochondria the pyruvate first converts into acetyl CoA than this acetyl CoA enters in the citric acid cycle and fully oxidized into CO2. This oxidation generated NADP and FADH2 which provide reducing power during oxidative phosphorylation.
The nucleus is a membrane enclosed organelle found in most eukaryotic cells,which stores the genetic material .
C. ferns.
Explanation:
The ferns are ancient plants that have managed to survive until the present. They are not closely related to the dominant plants nowadays, the flowering plants, but instead they are closely related with plants that have gone extinct tens and hundreds of millions years ago. Even though the ferns are not the dominant plants, they have managed to find a niche and firmly hold onto it, so they remained widespread, normally occupying the lower layers of the forests.
Unlike the flowering plants that produce flowers and then seeds in order to reproduce, that is not the case with the ferns. The ferns actually reproduce through spores, being widely dispersed by the wind and managing to spread out and reproduce over relatively large territory very quickly.
Answer:
C. Double helix
Explanation:
The twisted ladder shape that DNA has can also be called a double helix.
It is in the shape of a helix, which is similar to a 3D spiral shape.
It is called a double helix because DNA is made up of two DNA helix strands that are intertwined.
So, C is the correct answer.
