Answer:
Glycerol and fatty acids are the basic building blocks of fats (lipids). Fats are the product of the esterification of the trivalent alcohol glycerol with fatty acids of different lengths (between 12 and 20 carbon atoms). Two important representatives of the lipids are triglyceride (90% of fats) and cholesterol.
Answer:
All the puppies have black hair because albino alleles are found in two different genes.
If we let the letters A and B represent the two different pigmentation genes, the one of the dogs is AAbb, and the other is aaBB.
Their offspring are AaBb and so there are not albinos because they have one dominant copy of each gene.
Answer:
Explanation:
There are two types of respiration:
1. Aerobic respiration
2. Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
Anaerobic Respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.
Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration
The best answer is A.
The lytic cycle is considered the main cycle in viral replication. Once the viral DNA enters the cell, it transcribes itself into the host cell's messenger RNAs and uses them to direct the ribosomes.
The host cell's DNA is destroyed and the virus takes over the cell's metabolic activity and begins to use the cell's energy for its own propagation and within a short while, when the cell gets overcrowded with the viral progeny, the original virus releases enzymes to break the cell wall. The cell wall bursts. This process is called lysis. The new viruses are then released.
Answer:
D. A mutation causing uncontrolled cell division
Explanation:
Cell division is controlled by various mechanisms. Any mutations in the genes regulating the cell division lead to uncontrolled cell division. Loss of control over the process of cell division leads to the formation of tumors.
These tumors may cause cancer if they are transformed into malignant tumors. Hence, a mutation that causes loss of control over cell division is harmful.
