AI Thread Summary
Protein can be utilized for energy through amino acids entering glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, primarily via substrate-level phosphorylation and conversion to acetyl CoA. Understanding the specific pathways where amino acids integrate into these cycles is crucial for determining their energy contribution. The discussion emphasizes the importance of knowing the glycolysis and Krebs cycle mechanisms to assess protein's role in energy production. Additionally, the Calvin cycle is not directly involved in protein metabolism for energy. Overall, a solid grasp of metabolic pathways is essential for evaluating how proteins can serve as an energy source.

Can protein provide energy by using amino acids in the calvin cycle, by substrate-level phosphorylation, by putting acetyl co-a into krebs cycle, or by amino acids in glycolysis?

You need to show your own thoughts before you can receive help here.
 
Do you have the glycolysis and krebs cycles? If so, you've most likely been given something to determine where certain molecules enter. It should tell you where amino acids enter.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...

Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'

This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
