Answer:

C. 10 ATP molecules

Explanation:

In the citric acid cycle is a series of eight reactions steps in which a two-carbon molecule, acetyl-CoA, enters the cycle through citrate and two atoms of carbon are removed as two molecules of carbon dioxide.

The energy generated by the complete oxidation of one molecule of acetyl CoA via the citric acid cycle is conserved in the production of three NADH molecules, one FADH₂ and one ATP molecule. Each NADH molecule transfers two electrons to oxygen in the electron transport chain, forming 2.5 ATP molecules each in the process. Similarly, an FADH2 molecules transfers two electrons to oxygen in the electron transport chain yielding 1.5 ATP molecules.

Total ATP molecules produced:

3 NADH + 1 FADH2 + 1 ATP = (2.5 × 3) + (1.5 × 1) + 1 ATP = 10 ATP  molecules

Therefore, 10 ATP molecules are generated by the complete oxidation of one molecule of acetyl CoA via the citric acid cycle.

Answer:

Your answer is growth industry

I hope this helps

Explanation:

In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. Others came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution. With hope for a brighter future, nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900. During the 1870s and 1880s, the vast majority of these people were from Germany, Ireland, and England--the principal sources of immigration before the Civil War. That would change drastically in the next three decades.

According to the trichromatic theory of color vision, the eye has cones sensitive to colors associated with ___________.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: The correct option is c. red, green and blue.

Red, green and blue are primary colors. The theory of trichromatic theory is derived from the color mixing and the color matching explanations. According to the experiment in this theory, the individual person having normal vision of color requires three wavelengths of the primary colors to match with any other color in the visible spectrum. This led to finding of color vision which is based on the activities of three different receptors each having a different sensitivity of the peak. The three receptors are each sensitive towards colors red, blue and green respectively.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

In the 1960s, Lynn Magulis came up with the theory of endosymbiosis. Different evidence supports this theory that the cell organelles like chloroplasts and mitochondria were once utilized by the independent living species. Both of these organelles exhibit their own genetic material. The mitochondria cannot differentiate to produce chloroplasts and vice versa.  

However, the fact that the mitochondria are found in all the cells of eukaryotes, while the chloroplast is witnessed only in certain specific cells, shows that the evolution of mitochondria took place much earlier than the chloroplasts.
