I think a frameshift mutation that occurs very early in a protein sequence would have an effect on the structure of the protein such that the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures would be altered. A frameshift mutation occurs when a protein is drastically altered because of an insertion or a deletion. Insertions and deletions cause a change in the length of a gene, which causes a shift in the codon reading frame.
Answer:
As a cell grows, its surface area-to-volume ratio decreases

Question: Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?
A) because pyruvate is toxic to the cells
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
C) in order to use lactate in the citric acid cycle
D) because lactate is needed to produce ATP
Answer:
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
Explanation:
Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) are the aerobic stages of cellular respiration. ETC regenerates NAD+ and FAD+ by oxidation of NADH and FADH2 produced during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. Here, oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor.
Glycolytic reactions use NAD+ as an electron acceptor and produce NADH. Therefore, a constant supply of NAD+ is required to sustain glycolysis. In absence of oxygen, ETC cannot occur and organisms convert pyruvate into lactate. Pyruvate is reduced in lactate and NADH serves as the electron donor. Thereby, lactate fermentation regenerates NAD+ to continue the process of glycolysis.
The avian
kidneys are divided into units called lobules and as the two avian kidneys of
birds do their work or function, most of these birds excrete nitrogenous waste
known as uric acid from the blood, which reduces water loss but requires more
metabolic energy to produce nitrogenous waste.
To limit the hazard of creating nephrotoxicity, the patient should remain all around hydrated by drinking no less than eight 8-oz glasses of water day by day. Eating light dinners or taking the medication on an unfilled stomach would not diminish the hazard of creating nephrotoxicity. A medical attendant ought to never change the medication measurement without counseling the prescriber.
