The correct answer is diffusion.

Aquatic respiration refers to the procedure whereby an aquatic animal attains oxygen from water. Fish and other aquatic species utilize gills to consume oxygen dissolved in the water and diffuse carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream.

Diffusion is a procedure in which a substance moves from a region of high concentration to the region of low concentration until equilibrium is attained. In the case of aquatic species, blood with a low concentration of oxygen molecules moves through the gills. The concentration of the oxygen molecules in water is greater in comparison to the concentration of oxygen molecules in the gills.

As a consequence, the molecules of oxygen diffuse from water (higher concentration) to a region of lower concentration, that is blood. In the same manner, the molecules of carbon dioxide diffuse from the blood, that is, high concentration to water, that is, low concentration.

Individuals without AFS have a glutamic acid at position 487 on the ALDH2 protein, whereas individuals with AFS have a lysine at
azamat

Answer:

Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is an enzyme required to eliminate toxins such as acetaldehyde and alcohol, thereby mutations in this protein may be associated with the Alcohol flush syndrome (AFS)

Explanation:

ALDH2 is a protein required for ATP generation by catalyzing the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids (i.e., oxidation of NADH to NAD+). Mutations in the ALDH2 gene have been associated with the inactive form of this enzyme, and this specific mutation at position 487 alters its enzymatic activity associated with the metabolism of acetaldehyde and alcohol. This amino acid substitution may lead to the active site-directed inactivation of the enzyme.

Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?
Nitella [24]
DNA strands are split apart to allow an opening for replication. The opening has two replication forks so synthesis goes toward them in 5' to 3' direction.
