¬¬¬Biology Exam 4 Energy III – Cellular Respiration (Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain) A. The Krebs Cycle a. Energy i. The net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH represents an effective transfer of 20 kcal of energy to ATP (about 10 kcal each) about 80 kcal of energy to NADH (about 40 kcal each)‚ for a total of about 100 kcal ii. Complete oxidation of glucose results in the release of 684 kcal of energy‚ significant energy still remaining in pyruvate b. Eukaryotes i. Pyruvate is transported

The nature/nurture debate is a debate that I did not learn much about until I was in college. Before college‚ I was mostly taught that it is either nature or nurture. The main points of the nature/nurture debate was discussed in class. There are people that think the nature/nurture debate as one or the other. Nativists are people who believe in nature. They believe everything that a human is made up of is determined by genes only; genetic determinism. There are people who believe that everything

Candidate gene approach: The candidate gene approach studies the relationship between the traits and known genes that may be associated with the physiological pathways underlying the trait (Liu et al.‚ 2008). Candidate gene approach is implemented in 5 steps: (1) construction or collection of a resource population‚ (2) phenotyping of the specific components of the trait(s)‚ (3) selection of genes or functional polymorphisms that potentially could affect the traits‚ (4) genotyping of the resource

Week 5 – Homework – Answer Key Due Feb. 23‚ 2013 A total of 20 points are possible for this homework 1. A black guinea pig is crossed with an albino guinea pig‚ producing 12 black offspring. When the very same albino is crossed with another black guinea pig‚ 7 black and 5 albinos are obtained. Explain this genetic outcome by writing out the genotypes for the parents‚ gametes‚ and offspring in both crosses. First Cross: The fact that all F1 offspring are black suggests that the parents of the first
