Answer:

D) Differential intron removal and rejoining exons

Explanation:

The human genome has only 20000-25000 genes which code for millions of proteins. Being eukaryotic organisms, human genes have introns, that is, the non-coding intervening sequences present between exons. Introns are removed by post-transcriptional splicing of RNA. Alternate splicing of introns and rejoining of exons give rise to different protein products from the same mRNA. This is how, a small number of human genes code for millions of protein products.

List in order the various fluid compartments that a glucose molecule would encounter beginning with absorption from the lumen of
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The correct list of compartments glucose enter is :

The lumen > plasma (extracellular fluid) > interstitial fluid (extracellular fluid) >   the skeletal muscle cell (intracellular fluid)

Explanation:

The glucose molecule would start from the lumen of the intestine where is absorbed. The glucose enters the plasma a part of the circulatory system known as extracellular fluid.

The glucose also encounters another type of extracellular fluid the interstitial fluid that is not in the circulatory system. At the last glucose as it is entering the skeletal muscle cell the last fluid compartment, which is intracellular fluid. This fluid is inside the cells.
