Aresearch group has discovered an organism with cells that contain a previously undescribed organelle. they do some tests on the isolated organelle to see if it is involved in any major metabolic reactions. to do this, they incubate these organelles for a period of time and determine changes in the amount of various substances in the suspending solution. the results follow.

glucose: none
co2: increase
o2: none
atp: increase
nadh: increase

based on this analysis, which part of cellular respiration do you conclude is taking place in this organelle?

a) pyruvate oxidation
b) citric acid cycle
c) glycolysis
d) electron transport chain/oxidative phosphorylation
e) glycolysis and the citric acid cycle

B) citric acid cycle

Explanation:

Citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle is a part of cellular respiration and occurs in mitochondria in eukaryotes. In this process oxidation of acetyl-coA ( which comes from carbohydrates, fats and proteins) takes place and energy is released.

Along with acetyl-coA, water is also used and in the end NAD+ is reduced to NADH, ATP is produced and by product CO2 is generated. ATP is used as a source of energy. NADH also enters electron transport chain in next stage for production of more ATP.

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.

the wetland preservation movement began in the u.s. in earnest with the clean water act (cwa) of 1972. although not specifically written to protect wetlands, the cwa is comprised of a series of regulations designed to prevent pollutants from contaminating u.s. waters.
