Answer:

Glycolysis produces 4 ATP molecules, giving it a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. The four high energy electrons that are removed by glycolysis are picked by an electron carrier called NAD. NAD becomes NADH.As it spins it grabs an ADP molecule and attaches a phosphate, forming high energy ATP.

Explanation:

Both NADPH and ATP are phosphorylated compounds, both are very important catabolic as well as anabolic processes. To explain the difference, their respective functions/roles in biochemical processes should be described along with relevant chemical properties.

ATP (Adenosine triphospahte) is called an energy rich molecule because of the large negative free energy of its hydrolysis (And has nothing to do with high bond energy).

30.5 kilo Joules or 7.3 kilo calorie energy is liberated after hydrolysis of one ATP molecule to form ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate.The reaction is almost irreversible

What is synthesized from the DNA template? This is used to assemble ______ into ______.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:
The right option for blanks is mRNA, amino acids and polypeptide chain (protein).

Reason:
During protein synthesis first of all mRNA formation occurs from DNA template. Then mRNA come out from nucleus into cytoplasm and bind with ribosome, where tRNA come and binds to mRNA codon with the help of anticodons. and add amino acids. In this way a chain of polypeptide is formed.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The best explanation for the increased lymphocyte levels in Kaya is that she was not tissue typed prior to her surgery, and her body is mounting an immune response.

Explanation:

When performing an organ transplant, it must be verified whether the organ to be transplanted is compatible -by tissue typing- with the recipient, since it is recognized as a foreign body by the body and can be rejected.

One of the immunological responses to organ rejection is called cell rejection, involving T-helper and cytotoxic lymphocytes.

It is very likely that in Kaya's case the tests have not been performed correctly, and she is experiencing rejection of the organ she received. The progressive increase in lymphocytes may be an indication of this.

The other options are not possible because:

Administering antibiotics should not raise lymphocyte levels.
There is no evidence of antigen attack.
Immunosuppressant drugs do not increase lymphocyte count.
