Answer:
The function of NAD+ that is similar to that of NADP+ is that each NAD+ accepts a pair of high-energy electrons. Describe glycolsis in terms of energy input, energy output, and net gain of ATP. In glycolysis, glucose is converted to molecules of pyruvic acid. ... NAD becomes NADH.
Explanation:
In animal and plant cells genetic information if contained within a nucleus, in bacterial cells there is no nucleus and so the genetic information is found within the cytoplasm of the cell but is not 'contained' in a more specific area. A small amount of DNA in the bacterial cell may be contained in an area of the bacteria called a plasmid, however not all bacterial cells have a plasmid.
Answer:
Destruction of the majority of the adrenal cortex would most likely result in decreased levels of mineralocorticoids, sex corticoids and glucocorticoids.
Explanation:
Adrenal glands are conical pyramid shaped glands. A pair of glands present above each kidney. It has an outer adrenal cortex region and inner adrenal medulla. Cortex and medulla secrete different hormones and are also regulated in different ways.
Adrenal cortex has three layers:
a. Outer zona glomerulosa: secretes mineralocorticoids like aldosterone - regulates the metabolism of sodium and potassium.
b. Middle zona fasciculata: secretes glucocorticoids like cortisol - regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
c. Inner zona reticularis: secretes sex corticoids like Androstenedione - stimulates the development of external sexual characteristics in males.
In a condition called Addison's disease, major part of the adrenal cortex is destroyed which results in deficiency of both mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. Symptoms include bronze like pigmentation of skin, low BP, low plasma levels of Na+, high plasma levels of K+, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
