Answer:

The answer is a heme cofactor.

Explanation:

Peroxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes oxidation/reduction reaction by using hydrogen peroxide as a substrate.  

Donor+H2O2 ↔ Oxidized donor + H2O

Peroxidase active site can contain a heme cofactor that has an iron ion and a porphyrin molecule that acts as an electron donor to the hydrogen peroxide which is then reduced to water.

Answer:

The correct option is D. <u>The chemical bond breaks between the second and third phosphate groups.</u>

Explanation:

Adenosine phosphate (ATP) can be described as main energy-carrying molecules which are required by each cell to carry out its normal functions.

A molecule of ATP comprises of the nitrogenous base Adenine, pentose sugar ribose and three molecules of phosphate.

The bond between the second and third molecule carries high amounts of energy. When this bond is broken, huge amounts of energy is released which is used by the cells to carry out essential processes.

<h2>Axons </h2>

Explanation:

Axons cross from one side of the spinal cord to the other through the gray commisure

  • Each arm or extension of the gray matter in the spinal cord is referred to as a horn
  • Projecting towards the back of the spinal cord are the dorsal horns (or posterior horns)
  • Projecting towards the front are the ventral horns (or anterior horns)
  • In the thoracic and upper lumbar regions of the cord, an additional pair of side projections occur, which are called the lateral horns
  • A narrow band of gray matter known as the gray commissure stretches across of the center of the spinal cord and connects the two sets of horns
  • In the middle of the gray commissure is the central canal, which contains cerebral spinal fluid
