QUESTIONS POSED BY STUDENTS
Would feces smell if there were no bacteria?
**Warning** This site may contain material that some might find gross..Look at your own risk!!
Why is FAD used instead of NAD in the Citric Acid Cycle?
The redox potential of the oxidation of a C-C single bond to a C=C double bond (alkanes to alkenes) is too high to enable the involved elevtrons to be accepted by NAD+ (E0=-320 mV). the cell will terefore use FAD (E0= 0 mV) as electron acceptor.

WHY are alleles dominant?
No clear answer, but a good discussion of dominant/recessive genes can be found at the following site
