A scientist injected some cells with a drug that blocked glycolysis after NADH was formed, but before ATP and pyruvate were formed. All the other enzymes used in cellular metabolism were unaffected. How would the production of ATP in the cell be affected?

ATP makes the enzyme less active

examples of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) and ribonucleic acid (rna).

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.
