Answer:

Water is a liquid. Water is not wet BECAUSE something is only wet when water is on that object.

Explanation:

For example, there is water is a glass cup, and then the glass cup spills onto the table, causing the table to be wet, BUT you can remove that water from the table with some paper towels or a rag. Therefore, the table is no longer wet. Or when you're out in the rain and it gets on your clothes and/or hair, then your clothes and/or hair is WET.

When you put water onto water, it's an addition of water, you don't say it's wet or wetter.

Now, let me further prove my point with a different element: Fire. Fire burns things, right? So, when fire is on an object, then that object is burned. And when you add fire to fire, it causes more fire; fire does not burn itself.

Therefore, water is NOT wet. Wet is an adjective to describe an object that has been touched by a liquid, in this case, water.

So, yeah, enjoy the rest of your day. I'm sure some would like to argue my point. Go ahead.

What happens to pyruvate molecules formed in glycolysis in the absence of oxygen?

Mars2501 [29]

Absence of oxygen means anaerobic respiration ; which has 2 different pathways.

First Pathway ; Alcoholic fermentation which takes place in yeast.

Pyruvate is decarboxylated into ethanal releasing co2 as waste product.
Ethanal is toxic , so its reduced by help of NADH to ethanol in presence of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme , and Free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.

2) The second pathway is Lactic fermentation which takes place in mammalian muscles.

Pyruvate accepts hydrogen and is converted to lactate by the help of enzyme lactate dehydrogenase , again free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.

Hope I made it clear enough :)

According to scientists, ocean waves could be a source of energy. Devices are being designed to capture the energy from waves an

katrin [286]

The one that makes the most sense to me, would have to be B. A would not be a benefit at all. While C doesn't necessarily makes sense as the device is only designed to capture energy from ocean waves. And D doesn't make sense to me in general.

True or false: Most muscles contain a combination of all three muscle types, slow oxidative, fast oxidative, and fast glycolytic

kkurt [141]

Thanks to what we know about muscles and the fibers they contain, we can confirm that the statement in the question is in fact true.

Muscle is a type of tissue which due to coordinated systems that make up their composition, have the ability to contract. This ability allows for greater efficiency. In humans, the muscle systems are classified into three kinds:

Cardiac muscle
Skeletal muscle
Smooth muscle

Despite the different classifications and functions of each muscle type, each of these muscles contains a combination of three types of muscle fibers, which are the fibers listed in the question:

Slow oxidative
Fast oxidative
Fast glycolytic.
