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.

Biotic factors cannot live without abiotic factors. True False

sergeinik [125]

Depends, if the biotic factor is a chipmunk or something of that case, its natural habitat is a rock, which is biotic. but...if the animal is something like a deer they don't need abiotic factors. its your chose to chose but I'm leaning more twords false because not ALL biotic factors cant go without an abiotic factor

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as

Digiron [165]

Answer:

A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as recombinant DNA.

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) can be obtained by coupling DNA fragments from different sources, a process that is performed at the restriction site level and uses enzymes.

Once rDNA has been designed —cutting out fragments of DNA that are then reassembled— it must be brought to a specific location in the cells, to be copied and expressed, using means of transport called vectors.

DNA recombination is performed in biotechnology laboratories specialized in the manipulation of genetic material.

The other options are not correct because:

Mutant or mutated DNA is a DNA molecule with an alteration of its nitrogenous base sequence
Hybrid DNA is a variant of recombiant DNA, in which only two DNA molecules from different sources are used.
Polyploid refers to cells containing the genome of different species.

Do we use all brains all the time? If so why?

hammer [34]

Answer:

Yes because we use our brain to write, read, draw, drive a car, or pretty much anything we do. Even sleeping our brain is working. But at a slower pace. The brain never stops working.

Differenciate between vertebrates and inverte brates with example

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: vertebrates have a skeletal structure with a spinal column or backbone. Invertebrates have no backbone, while vertebrates have a well-developed internal skeleton of cartilage and bone and a highly developed brain that is enclosed by a skull. Due to the lack of a supportive system, a majority of invertebrates are small.
