Animals are not able to convert fatty acids into carbohydrates. The net synthesis of one mole of oxaloacetate from two moles of acetyl‑CoA by the citric acid cycle does not occur because one mole of oxaloacetate is used in the cycle for each one generated. Plants are able to convert two moles of acetyl‑CoA into one mole of oxaloacetate with only two additional enzymes not found in animals. This process is called the glyoxylate cycle, and it occurs in organelles called glyoxysomes. Classify the enzymes based on whether they are found only in plants or are found in both plants and animals.

For a family dinner, jose’s mom baked a loaf of bread. during the meal, his grandmother commented, “this bread is so dense! ” what do you think his grandmother meant by the word dense? you have some ideas regarding density already, but this experiment will enrich your understanding of the relationship between mass, volume and the density of objects. when making measurements in this experiment we will be using si units, the international system of units. the purpose of using si units is to have the ability to communicate and compare data results with other experiments without having to make conversions. measurement symbol si unit length m meter mass kg kilogram volume l liters density kg/l kilograms per liter any calculations that are performed during this experiment will ultimately be reported in scientific notation. recall that scientific notation is extremely important when we have data that is extremely small or large. scientists rely on a standard form of communication to quickly make hypotheses and judgements based on data. what is the density of block a? a0kg/l what is the density of block b? a1kg/l what is the density of block c? a2kg/l what is the density of block d? a3kg/l what is the density of block e? a4kg/l which block is the densest? a5
