The fructose 1-phosphate pathway can deplete intracellular phosphate/ ATP.

Explanation:

Fructose 1-phosphate is a derivative of fructose. For understanding in better way fructose metabolism has three enzymes. Fructose- bisphosphate aldolase B, fructokinase and Adenosine triphosphate. These all are present in liver and kidney of human as well rat. In liver rapidly fructose is change to fructose 1 through fructokinase.

After it is converted into trioses dihydroxyacetone phosphate as well as glyceraldehyde through aldolase.  With glucose metabolism Fructose get synergistic effect

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The switch from glutamic acid to valine in position 6 of hemoglobin (HB) forms the basis of sickle cell anemia disease pathology.

Valine is hydrophobic and it's chain is shorter than glutamic acid. The lack of the carboxylic acid and shortness of valine will result in loss of the ionic interactions formed between the glutamic acid's carboxylic group and other amino acids. A hydrophobic cavity will form in the beta sheet of HB due to the short and hydrophobic structure of valine. For these reasons, the HB molecule will be less stable and insoluble in water. The insolubility is thought to be caused by fibril formation between the valine interacting with hydrophobic pocket residues of the adjacent HB molecule.  This would in turn affect binding of oxygen to HB.

How can the amount of ethyl alcohol in various drinks be determined?
IRISSAK [1]

 

Ethyl alcohol is one of the series of organic chemical compounds in which a Hydrogen (H) attached to carbon is replaced by a hydroxyl (OH). It is made from sugar, starch and other carbohydrates by fermentation with yeast and synthetically from ethylene or acetylene. It has been used in beverages which has unstable, combustible, colorless liquid with slight distinctive odor. The amount of Ethyl alcohol in any drinks can be determined by multiplying the percentage (%) of alcohol and size.

How does research into natural selection and traits help you understand why some butterflies have coloration that looks like the
QveST [7]

Answer/Explanation:

Natural selection - over time - selects for traits that improve fitness. A butterfly with wing coloration that looks like a hungry owl would certainly be a deterrent to their natural predators, such as smaller birds. This is because the owl is the predator of the smaller birds, and their instinct is to avoid the owl.

If a mutation arose that resulting in coloration that looked like an owl, (or at least slightly menacing) this would be beneficial to the butterfly, as it would be more camouflaged from predators. This means it would be more likely to reach reproductive age and pass the mutation onto its offspring, who would also have a competitive advantage.

Over time, this would lead to a population of butterflies with coloration that looks more and more owl-like .
