Explanation:

Glycolysis is the stage where glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvates (3 carbon compounds). This occurs in the cytoplasm and produces 2 ATP molecules. The pyruvates enters the mitochondria and enters the link reactions where it combines with co enzyme A (CoA). Decarboxylation ( removal of CO2) and dehydrogenation (removal of H) occurs here. Since CO2 is removed from the pyruvate it means a carbon is removed. This produces a 2 carbon compounds called acetyl. The acetyl compound is what combines with the CoA to form a compound called acetylCoA. This compound then enters the Krebs cycle.

The CoA co enzyme leaves and the acetyl reacts with a four carbon compound called oxaloacetate. This then forms a 6 carbon compound compound called citrate. A series of dehydrogenation and decarboxylation reactions occur to convert the 6 carbon compound back to oxalaoactate( the 4 carbon sugar). An ATP molecule is formed during one spin of the Krebs cycle.

The electron transport chain is where the reduced NAD (formed from dehydrogenation in glycolyisis, the link reactions and Krebs cycle) and Reduced FAD ( formed from dehydrogenation in the krebs cycle). molecules pass along a series of electrom carriers where they release energy that will be used to make ATP. Oxygen is the last electron carriers

I tried to sum it up as best as possible. If you want in detail explanations of each then I can explain it also.

Why does catalase function most efficiently at the pH level of 7

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: Catalase functions the best at the pH of 7 because the pH of 7 is not too acidic or alkaline. It is on the normal scale, like water. Catalase can't be placed in an acidic liquid. It can not be placed in an alkaline liquid either.

Hope this helps!

In which phase do sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell, (in 'single-file', without a homologous partner)? Group o

ipn [44]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''METAPHASE I.''

Explanation:

Metaphase I is the stage in which chromosomal studies are generally performed, because its morphology is very clear. The chromosomes, moved by the mitotic spindle, are placed in the center, between the two asters and form the so-called metaphase plate, in which the chromosomes are positioned in such a way that the kinetochore of each sister chromatid are oriented towards the opposite poles. Keeping chromosomes on the cell equator implies a balance between the forces of the microtubules that tend to move the kinetochores toward opposite poles, so positioning them in the center involves a great deal of energy.In each kinetochore, between 20-30 microtubules can be anchored, which exert traction force towards the pole from which they come, so the metaphase plate is maintained by the balance between the opposite forces of the poles on the chromosomes, which hold their sister chromatids by centromeric cohesin.
