Why do sugar nucleotides, such as udp-glucose, play a role in glycogen synthesis, rather than sugar phosphates, such as glucose-

6-phosphate?.
Biology

HACTEHA [7]2 years ago

Glucose binds to the glycogenin protein to form the glycogen polymer. Glycogen synthase uses UDP glucose as the substrate for polymerization via (1-4) bonds. The branching enzyme has two distinct functions: it breaks the linear chain and forms a branch using a (1-6) linkage.

<h3>What are nucleotides?</h3>

A nucleotide is the primary component of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing base. DNA nucleotides include adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). In RNA, the nucleotide uracil (U) replaces thymine. Polymeric DNA and RNA molecules are composed of long strands of nucleotides.

Which of the following is an example of a transgenic organism?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

d. a bacterium with human gene for producing insulin

Explanation:

Transgenic organisms are the organisms in which the foreign DNA is introduced by using the molecular techniques for obtaining a particular result. This foreign DNA can be introduced using a vector called plasmid vector.

One of the examples of transgenic organisms is E.coli with the human gene for producing insulin. So for producing artificial insulin, the gene which produces insulin peptide is ligated  in a plasmid vector and then this plasmid is introduced in the bacterium where this plasmid replicates and produces insulin. So the correct answer is d.
