The use of a thermophilic DNA polymerase such as Taq polymerase prevents the denaturation of the enzyme during the heating that is important to separate the newly synthesized strand. So using this enzyme simplifies the PCR technique and increases its efficiency.

Taq DNA polymerase is highly efficient, when it reaches the optimum temperature, it becomes fully functional. It also has a half-life of over two hours (at 92°C), high amplification capacity, and it can add upto 150 nucleotides per second.  It is "special" enzyme because it comes from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus, which lives in hot springs. It is therefore thermostable even at high temperatures, while other polymerases (e.g. E. coli) are not.

In order to understand how the food you eat helps to fuel your body during exercise, you must first be able to use the vocabular
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

1. Cardiorespiratory exercise, also known as aerobic

exercise, uses oxygen and typically involves using large muscle groups during continuous activities.

2. Your body produces energy under anaerobic conditions during the first few seconds of intense exercise.

3. When the end phosphate is hydrolyzed from an ATP molecule, ADP is formed, and energy is released.

4.  CP  (Creatine phosphate) is stored in the muscles and is broken down to replenish ATP stores.

5. When participating in low-intensity activities over a long period of time, the body primarily uses fat for energy.

6. A small amount of amino acids

can be utilized for energy production during endurance events, but their primary role is to promote muscle growth and help with repair.

<em>7. Your body burns </em><em><u>carbohydrates</u></em><em>  for energy during every type of exercise that lasts longer than three seconds. Intensity and duration of exercise will affect the percentage of energy that is derived from this source.</em>

8. Endurance athletes may use a training strategy known as carbohydrate loading  to maximize their body's glycogen stores.

9. The body's preferred carbohydrate source for energy during very high intensity exercise is muscle glycogen.

Explanation:

The correct question includes the following incomplete sentences:

1. Cardiorespiratory exercise, also known as ________ exercise, uses oxygen and typically involves using large muscle groups during continuous activities.

2. Your body produces energy under _______ conditions during the first few seconds of intense exercise.

3. When the end phosphate is hydrolyzed from an ____ molecule, ADP is formed, and energy is released.

4.  ____ is stored in the muscles and is broken down to replenish ATP stores.

5. When participating in low-intensity activities over a long period of time, the body primarily uses ____ for energy.

6. A small amount of _______ can be utilized for energy production during endurance events, but their primary role is to promote muscle growth and help with repair.

7. Your body burns _______for energy during every type of exercise that lasts longer than three seconds. Intensity and duration of exercise will affect the percentage of energy that is derived from this source.

8. Endurance athletes may use a training strategy known as _________ to maximize their body's glycogen stores.

9. The body's preferred carbohydrate source for energy during very high intensity exercise is _________.

Words to complete are:

  • <em>anaerobic</em>
  • <em>carbohydrate loading</em>
  • <em>ATP</em>
  • <em>carbohydrates</em>
  • <em>aerobic</em>
  • <em>amino acids</em>
  • <em>fat</em>
  • <em>muscle glycogen</em>
  • <em>CP</em>

Physical exercise involves the additional consumption of oxygen and nutrients to compensate for the increased energy demand that such activity entails.

In general, the body uses the energy metabolism to obtain the energy necessary to carry out its functions.Under normal conditions, energy in the form of ATP is obtained from glucose, a carbohydrate, which requires oxygen, to perform aerobic metabolism.

The different types of physical exercise will require, according to their intensity and duration, alternative metabolic pathways, which include the use of lipids and proteins as an energy substrate, as well as anaerobic metabolism, which does not require oxygen, but whose energy output is lower.

The body's carbohydrate reserves are found in the liver and muscle tissue in the form of a glucose polymer called glycogen. Carbohydrate loading is a technique used by high-performance athletes to store as much glucose as possible, with a special and appropriate diet of low-calorie carbohydrates.

Creatine phosphate (CP) -found in muscle- is a donor molecule of phosphate groups, necessary for the production of ATP, through the action of the enzyme creatine phosphate kinase (CPK).

At wich point in the eukaryotic cell cycle does mitosis occur
Hoochie [10]
Mitosis in an eukaryotic cell cycle occurs after the G2 phase (option b). This is the final stage of interphase and during this time, the cell continues to grow as well as create new proteins. Successful completion of this phase results in the commencement of Mitosis.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Respiration

Explanation:

Food energy is chemical energy that animals (including humans) derive from food through the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration may either involve the chemical reaction of food molecules with molecular oxygen (aerobic respiration) or the process of reorganizing the food molecules without additional oxygen (anaerobic respiration).

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

3215 F would be the platinum melting point.

it boiling point is 6917 F.

Explanation:

The statement above is FALSE.
Glomerular filtration is the process by which the kidneys filter the blood by removing excess wastes and fluid. Glomerular filteration rate [GFR] is a measure of how well the blood is filtereed by the kidney. If the value of a GFR test is too low that indicates that the kidney is not working well.  <span />
