What family of KBOs does Orcus belong to?

Biology
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Pluto

Explanation:

Orcus is a plutino, a trans-Neptunian object that is locked in a 2:3 resonance with the ice giant Neptune, making two revolutions around the sun to every three of Neptunes. This is much as pluto, except that the phase of Orcus's orbit is opposite from Pluto's: Orcus is at aphelion when pluto is at aphelion when Pluto is at perihelion and vice versa. This was a major consideration in selecting its name, as deity Orcus was the Etruscan equivalent of the Roman Pluto, and later becamean alternate name for Pluto

What are the primary functions of the pentose phosphate pathway? a) to provide NADPH for reductive biosynthesis and for dealing
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) to provide NADPH for reductive biosynthesis and for dealing with oxidative stress

d) to provide ribose-phosphate for nucleotide and nucleic acid biosynthesis

Explanation:

During the pentose phosphate pathway, glucose 6-phosphate is oxidized into pentose phosphates. This pathway uses NADP as an electron acceptor and reduces it into NADPH. The products of this pathway, the pentose phosphates are used by the cells to synthesize nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The pentose phosphates are also used for the synthesis of nucleotides and coenzymes such as NADH, FADH2, etc.

These synthetic pathways are particularly occurring at a higher rate in the rapidly dividing cells such as the cells of bone marrow, skin. The NADPH formed during this pathway is used by cells as an electron donor for the reactions of reductive biosynthesis. Some of these pathways are the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and steroid hormones. NADPH is also involved in scavenging reactive oxygen species such as oxygen radicals. These ROS are responsible for oxidative stress.

You are growing yeast cells in a culture. After a few days of consistent growth, you notice that cell growth has slowed consider
BigorU [14]

The correct answer is C) There is not enough oxygen in the culture medium. This is because of alcoholic fermentation, and anaerobic process where the yeast transform sugar (glucose) in ethylic alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide. Glucose is decomposed into pyruvic acid which then after turns into CO2 and ethanol. The bubbles described, are produced by the carbon dioxide.

The yeast, as well as some bacteria, use the glucose molecule through "glycolysis"  to obtain a 3-carbon molecule called pyruvates. Glycolysis consists of 10 coupled reactions, in the end, from one glucose (6 carbons) the yeast will obtain two pyruvates (3 carbons each).

Pyruvate can follow three main routes to obtain ATP, end up as lactate, as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water or as ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. Regarding yeast, it can only be used to obtain Ethanol plus CO2 or to obtain CO2 plus water.

The path that follows from here depends on the reaction medium. The cell gets much more energy (38 molecules of ATP) by converting pyruvate into water + CO2 than by turning it into ethanol + CO2 (2 molecules of ATP). Then, whenever possible, the yeast will follow the CO2 + water path. To support this route the cell needs oxygen.  In this case, the cell obtains its energy by breathing when there is no oxygen available, the yeast has a way that allows it to gain much less energy but allows it to survive, the alcoholic fermentation, previously mentioned.

Therefore, A, B, and D answers are wrong for the reasons mentioned above.
