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

Specialized enzymes called _____ polymerases can bypass distortions in the DNA template but tend to introduce replication errors

Yuri [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is: translesion.

Explanation:

Also called DNA polymerase V, the translesion polymerase is responsible for the repair of the DNA in prokaryotes like Escherichia coli.

These special enzymes repair DNA lesion during DNA replication. If the enzyme fails, the damage in the DNA can lead to the death of the cell.

Replication in prokaryotes is much more prone to errors than replication in eukaryotes, one of the reasons being this polymerase not being as effective as the polymerase in charge of repairing eukaryotic DNA, the DNA polymerase beta.

Name the 3 types of blood vessels 1, 2. 3.

valkas [14]

There are three major types of blood vessels: the arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart; thecapillaries, which enable the actual exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues; and the veins, which carry blood from the capillaries back toward the heart.

Reactions that require CO2 take place in _____.

Sonja [21]

Reactions that require carbon dioxide take place in the calvin cycle alone

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Calvin cycle is an important cycle that plays a major role in the synthesis of starch through the photosynthesis. Calvin takes place as a part of the dark reaction in the stroma.

It is the calvin cycle that requires carbon dioxide. It uses the ATP that are produced by the light reaction that takes place in the thylakoid with the help of chlorophyll that traps the sunlight.
