During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. A diagram shows the conversion of a glucose molecule to 2 pyruvic acid molecules. In this process, 2 A T P form 2 A D P, 2 N A D produce 2 N A D H, and 4 A D P produce 4 A T P.
What is the main transformation that occurs during glycolysis?

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

Amino acids contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. of the 20 amino acids found in humans, 11 are called "nonessential" because they can be manufactured by the body when needed. which elements in these 11 amino acids are commonly obtained from the metabolism of sugar molecules?

Explain how sequences of amino acids in proteins can be used to reveal relationships among organisms.
