Answer:
The two molecules of acetyl-CoA that are produced from a molecule of glucose goes through two turn in the citric acid cycle, one for each molecule of acetyl-CoA.
Explanation:
Glycolysis the process by which a molecule of glucose is broken down in a series of steps to yield two molecules of pyruvate. The overall equation for the reactions of glycolsis is given below:
Glucose + 2NAD+ ----> 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2H⁺
Each of the two pyruvate molecules produced from glucose breakdown is further oxidized to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and CO₂ each.
2 Pyruvate ----> 2 AcetylCoA + 2CO₂
Each of the acetyl-CoA molecule then enters the citric acid cycle for its oxidation. In each turn of the cycle, one acetyl group enters as acetyl-CoA and two molecules of CO₂ leave.
Given: C3H8(g) + O2(g) ----> CO2 (g) + H2O (g)
Step : Put a 3 in front of CO2 (g) to balance C
=> C3H8(g) + O2(g) ----> 3CO2 + H2O to balance H
Step 2: Put a 4 in front of H2O
=> C3H8 (g) + O2(g) -----> 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g)
Step 3: Given that there are 3*2 + 4 = 10 O to the right side, put a 5 in front of O2 to balance O:
=> C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) -----> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)
You can verify that the equation is balanced.
So, the answer is that the coefficient in front of O2 is 5.
Answer:
Limited
Explanation:
For competition to exist within a population or between population, shared or common resources that organisms holds very important must be very limited and scared.
Competition is a struggle between organisms for limited resources in the ecosystem.
- It is an interaction between organisms in which one of them is harmed.
- Competition originates from limited supply of shared or mutual resources among organisms.
- When competition is between organisms from different population, it is called an interspecific competition.
- Competition between organisms within the same population, i.e of the same species is intraspecific competition.
