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.

Organisms living in the deep bathypelagic and abyssopelagic zones require oxygen for respiration. What process brings oxygen fro
alekssr [168]

The correct answer is upwelling from equatorial to Polar Regions results in bringing oxygen from the epipelagic zone to deeper oceanic zones.  

It is a process in which the wind mediated motion of nutrient-rich, dense, and cooler water is moved towards the surface substituting the nutrient depleted and warmer surface water. The epipelagic zone refers to the upper layer of the ocean, which is abundant in oxygen and gets the majority of the sunlight for the procedure of photosynthesis. The upwelling of water from the equatorial to the polar region brings oxygen.

Compare and contrast a pair of magnets and a pair of water molecules?
avanturin [10]
The pair of magnets and a pair of water molecules are most likely similar. It is because the pair of magnets connects positive to negative and negative to positive, which is also similar to water molecules where they also connect to positive to negative.

What is the primary function of carbohydrates attached to the exterior of cell membranes?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is : a. Identification of the cell

Explanation:

The cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, is a semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of the cell, that protects and separates the interior of the cells from the external environment.

The carbohydrate layer of the cell membrane is known as the glycocalyx. In eukaryotes, <u>the carbohydrates present on the surface of the cell membrane play a important role in the cell-cell recognition and share information.</u>

A protein that is destined to be secreted from the cell has a signal sequence that targets it to the plasma membrane
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A protein that is destined to be secreted from the cell:

- is targeted to the RER as a soluble protein.

Explanation:

The main function of the RER is the synthesis and transport of secretion or membrane proteins.

If you are looking for the RER you could fount it on eukaryotic cells, side by side of the nucleus, and cover in ribosomes.

Marysya12 [62]

The correct answer is: a. the agar and air in the petri dish are providing all of the resources needed by the bacteria.

There are four phases of bacterial growth:

1. Lag phase-bacteria prepare for reproduction

2. Log phase- cell doubling

3. Stationary phase- due to a growth-limiting factor

4. Death phase.
