Answer:
The correct answer is b glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules.
Explanation:
Krebs cycle is one of the most important step of aerobic respiraion.Krebs cycle occur within mitochondrial matrix.During krebs cycle the acetyl CoA generated from pyruvate reacts with oxalo acetate in a cyclic manner to regenerate 4 carbon compound oxaloacetate.
During krebs cycle pyruvate is broken down or oxidized to form 2 carbon compound known as acetyl CoA and carbon dioxide as byproduct.
But the breakdown of glucose into two pyruvate molecules occur during glycolysis.
D) Thorns are an adaptation that some plants have evolved in order to discourage herbivores from eating the plant.
Answer:
D. Many amino acids are encoded by multiple codons. A gene mutation that encodes the same amino acid would have no observable effect on the cell or the organism
Explanation:
If gene mutation does not change code (gene still encodes for the same amino acid), the same protein with its function will be produced. This is called synonymous mutation.
Silent mutations might also occur when codon is altered to produce an amino acid with similar function as previous (e.g. leucine to isoleucine) so that the function of protein is not significantly changed.
