Saturated fatty acids are degraded by the stepwise reactions of beta-oxidation, producing acetyl-CoA. Under aerobic conditions,

how many ATP molecules would be produced as a consequence of removal of each acetyl-CoA?

Answer:

4 ATP molecules

Explanation:

Normally, about 11 ATP molecules are generated as the result of Beta-Oxidation of saturated fatty acid in Kreb's Cycle. But the total removal of acetyl-CoA under certain aerobic condition decreases the overall yield and approximately 4 ATP molecules comes out from each removal of acetyl-CoA.

The amount of bacteria doubles every day. If there are 320 bacteria on day 6 , when will there be 5,120 bacteria?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Day 10

Explanation:

If the number of bacteria increases by a factor of two each day (i.e. it doubles), it will reach 5120 by day 10. At this rate, the colony likely started with 10 bacteria on day one and doubled each day to reach 320 by day 6.

Day 6- 320 bacteria

Day 7- 320×2= 640 bacteria

Day 8- 640×2= 1280 bacteria

Day 9- 1280×2= 2560 bacteria

Day 10- 2560×2= 5120 bacteria

An undersupply of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter known as ________ is linked to seizures.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Explanation:

Epileptic seizures are induced by a preponderance of electrical activity within the network of neurons in the brain. Synapsis is the meeting point between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron. Electrical signals don't cross through the synapsis, instead, they are conveyed in a chemical form by neurotransmitters.

The neurotransmitters convey messages across the synapsis in a chemical form until they find to the receptor of the dendrite of the receiving neuron. Neurotransmitters can either be excitatory or inhibitory in function i.e. the receiving neuron can either be stimulated to action or inhibited from action. The main excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain are Glutamate and Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) respectively.

There must be a balance between excitation and inhibition of neurons, in order to ascertain the optimal functioning of the brain. Too much Glutamate or too little of GABA can make neurons hyperexcitable and hyperexcitability of neurons makes the brain susceptible to seizures.
