Answer: c. Transition Reaction
Explanation:
During the transition reaction, Acetyl-CoA is formed and connects the first stage of glycolysis with the Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle). In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate enters the mitochondria and is oxidized to form a compound of 2 carbon, acetate, with energy and CO2 release. During this process, the acetate binds to a coenzyme(coenzyme A (CoA)) - forming the acetyl-coenzyme A.
The 3 steps:
1. pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetate with liberation of CO2;
2. the energy released in the oxidation of pyruvate is stored in the reduction reaction of NAD+ to NADH + H+
3. The acetate molecule combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl-coenzyme A.
Answer:
It is recommended to get a flu shot every year as the flu shot only provides protection against the flu for about 6 months. An individual's immune protection from the vaccination declines over time, so they need a new vaccine for optimal protection. In addition, flu viruses evolve and mutate very quickly. New flu vaccines are administered every year to address the rapidly adapting flu virus.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Diatoms
Explanation:
Diatoms are a photosynthetic eukaryotic phytoplankton that virtually found in all waterways, fresh waters and oceans, and also in most soils on earth. Diatoms play a very important role in the global carbon cycle. Diatoms are single-celled algae that has a characteristics cell wall that is made up of transparent opaline silicia that are elegantly sculpted.
When diatoms die, their shell or skeleton that is composed of silica, do not decay, but settle at the bottom of oceans as sediments to form what is often referred to as diatomaceous earth. It is this diatomaceous earth deposit that is then converted to diatomite powder, which is used as pesticides against insects such as ants, cockroaches, bedbugs and some other pests.
