What is th advantage of this type of reproduction in paramecium?
eduard
The advantage of asexual reproduction (binary fission) in paramecium is a large number of offspring that are reproduced very fast. Large number colonies which are formed that way may survive and compete with other organisms. Another advantage is that this type of reproduction doesn’t acquire energy for finding a mate.  
<span>The advantage of sexual reproduction is that offspring reproduced sexually are different (asexually have genetically identical offspring).</span>

The Citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondria. There are nine biochemical reactions involved in the Citric acid cycle, and th
Sauron [17]

Answer:

. 2C- acetyl Co-A from the link reaction  enters the kreb Cycle to combine with 4 Carbon Oxaloacetate to form 6-  Citrate

The Citrate forms intermediate Isocitrate, which eventually formed  6-C alpha ketoglutarate.

The alpha-ketoglutarate forms the intermediate succinyl-Co A, which later formed  5C-succinate.

5C -Succinate  forms 4C-fumarate, the latter formed 4C-malate- which eventually formed 4C-oxaloacetate.

The 4C of these compounds is fixed, to ensure constant availability of 4C of oxaloacatate for 2C Acetyl -CoA to bind it for the cycle to continuously occur for production of first product Citric Acid  from which other products are  formed from.
