Answer: & Explanation:

The overall for equation for gluconeogenesis is

2 Pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 GTP + 2 NADH+ + 2 H+ + 4 H2O → 1 Glucose + 4 ADP + 2 GDP + 6 Pi + 2 NAD+

From the equation

2 molecules of pyruvate is needed to generate one molecule of glucose.

No NADH is produced, but 2 molecules of NADH are used during the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction in glycolysis.

No ATP is produced, but 4 molecules of ATP are used to generate one molecule of glucose. During the carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate in the mitochondria by pyruvate carboxylase one ATP is required for each pyruvate molecule. Also during the phosphorylation of 3-phospho glycerate to 1,3- Bisphospho glycerate, 1 ATP is required for each molecule.

6 Pi are produced in the generation of a molecule of glucose.

The expansion of grasses during the Oligocene and Miocene Epochs led to
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The answer is:

D. the radiation of herbivores such as grazing animals

Explanation:

Oligocene and Miocene Epochs:

  • The Oligocene epoch is characterized by temperate and subtropical climatic conditions which favored the expansion of grasses and reduced forest cover.
  • The Miocene epoch, which succeeded the Oligocene era, is attributed to changes in global circulation due to global warming of the climate followed by global cooling towards the end.

The Oligocence and Miocene epoch are both attributed to the expansion of grasslands and savannah. Both eras marked rapid and drastic evolutionary changes in grazing mammals and herbivores. Diverse groups of grazing mammals lived throughout these eras. For example, the largest herbivore and land mammal of all time, <em>Indricotherium</em> (a sort of giant hornless rhinoceros), was present in the Oligocene era.

Similarly, the Oligocene era in North America favored the rapid radiation of primitive horses.

You notice two birds living in different parts of the same tree outside your house. They have similar markings and are of a simi
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

They do not belong to the same population

Explanation:

These two similar birds do not belong to the same population because a population is made up of groups of similar organisms of the same species that occupy the same geographical region including the capability to interbreed. This two birds despite the similar markings, they do not have the capability to interbreed thus they are not of the same population.

When water dissolves a substance, weak charges on water molecules attract oppositely charged portions of the substance, pulling
guapka [62]

Answer:

C) polarity

Explanation:

The polar nature of water molecules allows it to dissolve like molecules, such molecules are also polar.

  • In water molecules hydrogen bonds provides a special dipole - dipole attraction.
  • Here, the hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom(oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine).
  • This leads to a charge separation in which the hydrogen atom has net positive charge and the electronegative one has negative charge.
  • This makes the molecule of water polar.
  • By this property water easily attracts oppositely charged portions of another substance and then pull them into solution.

This property of water is polarity of water.

Algae in an aquatic food chain convert solar energy into 93,000 kilocalories of plant tissue. Which of the following values best
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option 1. 930 kilocalories.

Explanation:

In every ecosystem, the energy is passed from one form to another and there is a lot of loss of the energy as heat in the cellular process. There is a transfer of only 10% of each level of the trophic level.

Algae is the producers in this aquatic ecosystem so the primary consumer will get  10% of the energy that is present in plant tissue (93000kcal) which will be 9300 Kcal and second producers will get 10% of this will be 930Kcal.

Thus, the correct answer is option 1. 930 kilocalories.
