Cells control or regulate the flux through metabolic pathways by means of I. allosteric control of enzymes. II. covalent modification of enzymes. III. genetic control of the concentrations of enzymes. IV. genetic expression of allosteric regulators.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation is a common mechanism of regulation of enzyme activity, which generally involves key enzymes in metabolic pathways. Allosteric modulation occurs when a substance/molecule called 'allosteric regulator' binds to an enzyme at a site other than the enzyme's active site, thereby triggering a conformational change in the enzyme and thus affecting its activity. Moreover, covalent modifications such as phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, etc, are also involved in the regulation of enzymatic activity in metabolic pathways. For example, phosphorylation is a type of reversible covalent modification of proteins consisting of the addition of phosphate groups at specific amino acid residues (i.e., serine, threonine, and tyrosine) by specific enzymes known as protein kinases. Phosphorylation alters the three-dimensional (3D) structure of proteins, thereby turning the substrate or cellular pathway to active and/or inactive. Finally, both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms are also able to control the expression of enzymes involved in signaling pathways. Transcriptional mechanisms are capable of limiting the amount of mRNA that is produced from a given gene (in this case, an enzyme encoding gene), whereas post-transcriptional mechanisms such as, for example, RNA interference pathways, control the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules into proteins.

Which part of a mushroom would be eaten?
Thallus
Sporangium
Mycelium

Answers

Answer:

After it is released from the snailExcavata    Sporangium

Explanation:

Schistosoma life cycle:

1. Human excretes schistosomes eggs through feces and/or urine. These eggs eventually reach the water.

2. Once in the water, schistosomes eggs hatch and release immature larvae named miracides.  

3. Miracides swim and penetrate a freshwater snail, which is an intermediary host.  

4–5. Once inside the snail, miracides turn into sporocites and then into cercariae. Cercariae characterize by having a bifurcated tail. Snails release the cercariae in water, and they swim until they get in touch with a mammal. Once they reach the mammal, they penetrate the skin and get into the body. This is the stage in which the parasite becomes infectious to humans. Just a few cercariae are enough to infect a person.  

6. When cercariae penetrate their host body, they lose their tails and turn into schistosomules. These new forms travel to the liver, where they end their maturation process.  

7. Males and females mate in the liver and migrate to veins of the intestine or bladder. Once there, the females lay the eggs, which are then excreted by the host. And the cycle begins again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excavata are asymmetrical protists. The group receives its name because of the appearance of the feeding groove. Excavata is composed of many protists. One of them is Parabasalid.

Parabasalids are parasitic protists, and one of them is Trichomonas vaginalis, which is transmitted sexually.

Sporangium. This is the reproductive structure of the mushroom and the one that is usually eaten. Spores develop inside the sporangium. Its surface is covered by a protector cuticle. It can be eaten when it is closed or when it is already open. However, when open is tastier.

Importance of antimicrobial emulsion​

Answers

Answer:

Citral is a typical essential oil used in the food, cosmetic, and drug industries and has shown antimicrobial activity against microorganisms. Citral is unstable and hydrophobic under normal storage conditions, so it can easily lose its bactericide activity. Nanoemulsion technology is an excellent way to hydrophilize, microencapsulate, and protect this compound. In our studies, we used a mixed surfactant to form citral-in-water nanoemulsions, and attempted to optimize the formula for preparing nanoemulsions. Citral-in-water nanoemulsions formed at So 0.4 to 0.6 and ultrasonic power of 18 W for 120 seconds resulted in a droplet size of < 100 nm for nanoemulsions. The observed antimicrobial activities were significantly affected by the formulation of the nanoemulsions. The observed relationship between the formulation and activity can lead to the rational design of nanoemulsion-based delivery systems for essential oils, based on the desired function of antimicrobials in the food, cosmetics, and agrochemical industries.

Unlike skeletal muscle, the muscle cells of the heart (called "cardiomyocytes") metabolize very little glucose, relying almost exclusively on metabolism of fatty acids for their energy. Which of the following statements are likely to be true of cardiomyocytes, but NOT skeletal myocytes? (select two answers)

a. low levels of glycogen storage, even when blood glucose is high
b. high levels of glycogen storage, even when blood glucose is low
c. low lactate production, even at high activity
d. high lactate production, even at low activity
e. many mitochondria compared to other cells
f. few mitochondria compared to other cells

Answers

Answer: A. low levels of glycogen storage, even when blood glucose is high.

C. low lactate production, even at high activity.

Explanation:

Cardiomyocytes are also known as the myocardiocytes. They are the cells which makes up make up the muscle if the heart. They're responsible for the generation of the contractile force in the heart which helps in the pumping if blood.

From the options given, the statements that are likely to be true of cardiomyocytes, but not of skeletal myocytes include:

• low levels of glycogen storage, even when blood glucose is high.

• low lactate production, even at high activity.

Answer:

The answer is A and C

Explanation:

Since cardiomyocytes are dependent on fatty acids, they rely on oxidative phosphorylation to generate energy, and consume very little glucose. Due to this, they have very low need for fermentation of pyruvate. In fact, they can absorb lactate generated by skeletal myocytes and erythrocytes and oxidize it for additional energy. Another consequence of this metabolism is that cardiomyocytes store little or no glucose as glycogen.

Skeletal myocytes and cardiomyocytes both have high energy needs and thus have more mitochondria than other cells. Cardiomyocytes have an even greater density of mitochondria than skeletal myocytes because they depend almost entirely on oxidative phosphorylation for their energy needs. This dependence on oxidative phosphorylation also explains the extraordinary sensitivity of cardiac muscle to hypoxic (low-oxygen) events. Without oxygen, cardiomyocytes rapidly run out of energy and can quickly die.

Muscle cells that are worked often in exercise will require more mitochondria. If we use more mitochondria, it will require us to use more carbohydrates to build ATP’s. What if we run out of carbohydrates stored in our body? What macromolecule can we break down and use in cellular respiration?

Answers

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the question is asking to match each activity with the sphere to which it adds carbon or CO2.

ANSWERS:

Geosphere = burying organisms

hydrosphere = respiration of marine life

biosphere = photosynthesis atmosphere = burning things

Explanation:

This question describes the types of spheres we have. The respective activities that occur in each sphere that adds CO2 or carbon are as follows:

- Geosphere: This refers to the solid part of the Earth. Dead organisms are buried in the geosphere (soil) where their carbon remains can be deposited.

- Hydrosphere: This constitutes all of the water bodies (sea, river, stream, ocean) on the Earth. When marine organisms respire in water, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released.

- Biosphere: A sphere consisting of all living things (plant, animal, microbes etc.) on Earth. Plants as a living organisms photosynthesize and make use of carbon dioxide to produce glucose, which stores in the plant.

Atmosphere: The gaseous component of the Earth. Burning substances release carbon based gases into the atmosphere.

On a plant, stomates are small openings that regulate the passage of air and water vapor to and from the plant. Generally, the stomates open during sunlight and exchange gases with the atmosphere. The stomates of a few specialized desert plants can open only at night. The best explanation for the pattern of stomate opening and closing is that the desert plants are adapted to protect against
(1) harmful insects
(2) dust particles
(3) destructive plant disease
(4) excess water loss
(5) total energy loss

Please help me somebody answer this.

Answers

Answer:

4

Explanation:

this is because when the stomata opens during the day it would lose much water to the atmosphere so it tends to open during the night and close during the day

the answer is 4 because The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf (as well as the loss of water vapor in transpiration) occurs through pores called stomata (singular = stoma). Normally stomata open when the light strikes the leaf in the morning and close during the night.

Novel compound concentration CFU/mL Present Recovery
0ng mL 3.4 x 10^5
10ng/mL 2.4 x 10^5
20ng/mL 6.4 x 10^4
40ng/mL 1.4 x 10^4
80n mL 4.4 x 10^3
160n mL 0

Answers

Answer:

a) Percent recovery

100%, 70.58%, 4.11%, 1.29% , 0%

b) MBC = 160 ng mL

c) Static

Explanation:

A) Calculate the percent recovery for each group

i) for 0ng mL

( 3.4*10^5 / 3.4*10^5 ) * 100 = 100%

ii) for 10ng mL

( (2.4 * 10^5) / (3.4 * 10^5) ) * 100 = 70.58%

iii) for 20ng mL

( ( 6.4 * 10^5 ) / ( 3.4 * 10^5 ) ) * 100 = Nil

iv) for 40 ng mL

( ( 1.4 * 10^4 ) / ( 3.4 * 10^5 ) ) * 100 = 4.11 %

v) for 80 ng mL

( ( 4.4 * 10^3 ) / ( 3.4 * 10^5 ) ) * 100 = 1.29%

vi) for 160 n mL

percentage recovery = 0%

B) what is the MBC

The value of MBC = 160 n mL because at this concentration CFU/mL = 0

c) determine if the antimicrobial tested is static or cidal

condition : If, the ratio of MBC : MIC  is  ≤4 then novel compound is Cidal

MBC / MIC =  160ng / 10ng = 16 : 1

hence we can conclude that the antimicrobial tested is STATIC

In the oceans on either side of the Isthmus of Panama are 30 species of snapping shrimp, 15 species on the Pacific side and 15 different species on the Atlantic side. Species live at different water depths. Morphological and genetic data show that Atlantic and Pacific species that live at similar depths are sister species. The sister species on each side of the isthmus cannot interbreed because the water in the canal is fresh water, not salt water, and provides a barrier to reproduction. A sea-level, salt-water canal between the two oceans has been proposed to make transport across the isthmus easier. Which of the following outcomes is the most likely result if such a canal were built?
A. greater percentage of difference in DNA sequences between sister species that inhabit deep water than between sister species that inhabt stalow water
B. greater percentage of difference in DNA sequences between sister species that inhabit shallow water than between sister species that inhabit deep water
C. similar percentages of difference in DNA sequences between all pairs of sister species
D. greater percentage of difference in DNA sequences between Atlantic species than between Pacific species

Answers

Answer:

The options of this question are wrong, you can find the correct options by navigating on the web. The options of this question are as follow:

1) The sister species will continue to diverge from each other.

2) None of the sister species will interbreed with each other.

3) The Atlantic and Pacific shrimp will continue to live in their respective oceans and not enter the new canal.

4) Shallow-water species from the two oceans that are sister species would be more likely to interbreed with each other than would be deep-water species.

Answer:

4) Shallow-water species from the two oceans that are sister species would be more likely to interbreed with each other than would be deep-water species

Explanation:

In evolutionary biology, sister species are defined as descendant species formed when one species splits during the course of evolution. Moreover, adaptation refers to the evolutionary process of adjustment of organisms to the environment, which is usually due to natural selection. During the course of evolution, organisms under different environments must change to adapt to their environments. In this case, it is expected that sister species that live in similar environmental conditions (i.e., shallow-water species) exhibit fewer phenotypic differences, being therefore more likely to interbreed with each other.
