The simplified overall equation for the process is deceptively simple:
The two half-equations and the overall equation for this reaction are:
Thus, the overall equation of the urea cycle is:
"It's part of the overall equation of what schools should be doing."
Which added a decidedly unpleasant element to the overall equation.
Addition of chemical equations leads to a net or overall equation.
But the vectors could be considered separately and still add up right, so Tregare didn't worry about the overall equation.
Although some of the steps in photosynthesis are still not completely understood, the overall photosynthetic equation has been known since the 19th century.
But many suggest the more important is the overall equation of population versus capacity.
Again, it would have no effect on the overall equation.
