Kreb's cycle or the citric acid cycle is a part of cellular respiration involving a series of reactions to release stored energy by the oxidation of Acetly CoA.

The first step of the citric acid cycle shows a decrease in free energy which is coupled with an increase in free energy. It begins with the transfer of acetyl group from the acetyl CoA to form an oxaloacetate which further forms citrate. Acetyl CoA forming CoA shows a decrease in the free energy which is coupled with the conversion of the oxaloacetate into the citrate showing an increase in free energy.

Further, the conversion of citrate into α- ketoglutarate shows a decrease in the free energy which is coupled with the reduction of NAD+ to NADH showing an increase in free energy.

Krebs cycle is <span>the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondria, consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products, and converting ADP to energy-rich ATP.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

How does the concentration of salt in water affect the rate of osmosis?
Nata [24]
The concentration of salt in water affects the rate of osmosis because it will determine how much water should be transported or excreted or to be taken in. The cellular process is keen to the salt concentration of its system thus making sure to maintain balance between the salt concentration the right amount of water must also be in its area of release for any expected occurences.
Osmosis then is the movement of water particles from which has water and from which has not and to provide it with the sufficient H2O.

Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the human body. If your body lacks enzymes that break down carbohydrates, it

Ambitious

If your body lacks enzymes that break down

carbohydrates, it would be unable to get sugar molecules for energy production.

If you lacked the enzyme to digest proteins, you may not absorb enough amino

acids.

The digestive system in our body changes

carbohydrates into glucose; also known as blood sugar to be use as an important

source of energy. Meanwhile, amino acids are organic compounds that combine to

form proteins, which are the building blocks of life.

A botanist has discovered a new plant species and is trying to classify the plant. Its seed has one cotyledon, it has six flower
lana66690 [7]

The best suited group for the mentioned plant is Angiosperms and monocot.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

As mentioned the seed of the plant has one cotyledon and the specific name for these type of plants whose seeds has one cotyledon is called Monocot, Suppose if the seed of the plant has two seeds, It is called dicot.

Hence we can conclude that the mentioned plant comes under monocot and not dicot.  On the other hand, Angiosperms refers to the plants that has flowers with it and gymnosperms usually includes plants without flowers and hence we can classify the plant as Angiosperm and monocot.

The common ancestors of birds and mammals were very early (stem) reptiles, which almost certainly possessed three- chambered hea
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The four- chambered hearts of birds and mammals are best described as <u>homoplasies.</u>

Explanation:

In evolution, homoplasies are the trait shared in different species despite that their ancestors didn't have it at all.  In other words, these are traits that can be gained or lost during evolution in different lineages independently. For example, wings of birds and wings of bats do the same function (help in flying) but they were not there in the ancestors so both animals developed these structures independently.

In the given example, birds and mammals have four-chambered heart but their ancestors have 3 chamber hearts. They evolved independently and developed 4 chamber heart. This might be due to several reasons. However, their ancestors didn't have the feature so it is an example of homoplasy.
