Gluconeogenesis is the conversion of pyruvate to glucose. This metabolic pathway needs several cofactors to complete the convers

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.

Which box depicts the tissue level of organization?
Effectus [21]
<span>Levels of OrganizationIn unicellular (single-celled) organisms, the single cell performs all life functions. It functions independently. However, multicellular (many celled) organisms have various levels of organization within them. Individual cells may perform specific functions and also work together for the good of the entire organism. The cells become dependent on one another.Multicellular organisms have the following 5 levels of organization ranging from simplest to most complex:<span><span>LEVEL 1 - Cells<span><span>Are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.
</span>May serve a specific function within the organismExamples- blood cells, nerve cells, bone cells, etc.</span></span><span>LEVEL 2 - Tissues<span>Made up of cells that are similar in structure and function and which work together to perform a specific activity
Examples - blood, nervous, bone, etc. Humans have 4 basic tissues: connective, epithelial, muscle, and nerve.</span></span><span>LEVEL 3 - OrgansMade up of tissues that work together to perform a specific activityExamples - heart, brain, skin, etc.</span><span>LEVEL4 - Organ Systems 
<span>Groups of two or more tissues that work together to perform a specific function for the organism.
Examples - circulatory system, nervous system, skeletal system, etc. 
The Human body has 11 organ systems - circulatory, digestive, endocrine, excretory (urinary), immune(lymphatic), integumentary, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal.</span></span><span>
LEVEL 5 - Organisms 
<span>
Entire living things that can carry out all basic life processes. Meaning they can take in materials, release energy from food, release wastes, grow, respond to the environment, and reproduce.
<span>Usually made up of organ systems, but an organism may be made up of only one cell such as bacteria or protist.

you are a molecule of carbon. choose a starting point in the carbon cycle and describe the process you would go through to move
Assoli18 [71]
Answer:

1) start as a carbon molecule in the atmosphere
2) taken in by trees through photosynthesis
3) carbon is taken into decayed organism
4) then it is taken into dead organisms and waste products underground
5) millions of years later, it is stored in a fossil
6) fossil fuels used by factories then emit carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere (back to starting position

if you want the whole cycle then..
7) used again by a tree
8) released as organic carbon (some)
9) tree leaf is eaten by an animal, which then releases carbon either from respiration or when it dies

Dana is intending to breastfeed her baby after he is born. she has read that human breast milk differs significantly from cow's
ycow [4]
The hormones send signal to the mammary glands in the body for it to start to produce milk to feed the baby. However there are times humans rely on to cow's milk. There are differences though between the two.Human milk has more whey protein compared to the cow yet they has less casein which is another type of protein compared to cow's milk. For carbohydrates, human milk is higher than the cow's milk. For the fatty acid, the cow's milk contains more unsaturated fat.
