Metabolism is a broad term that includes all chemical reactions that occur within body cells. It includes breaking down substanc

es into simpler building blocks (the process of catabolism), synthesizing more complex cellular structures from simpler substances (anabolism), and using nutrients and oxygen to produce (via cellular respiration) ATP, the energy-rich molecules that power cellular activities. What is false about metabolism?

Answer:

The statement that is false is <u>metabolism is regulated largely by the nervous system.</u>

Explanation:

The metabolism reactions are controlled by the enzymes specific for each metabolic reactions. After a signal is generated, specific enzymes that detect the signal starts up the metabolic reactions.

When there is a need to stop a certain metabolic reaction, then the mechanism of feedback inhibition is used which stops the enzyme from carrying out any further reactions. Hence, the statement that metabolism is regulated largely by the nervous system is false.

A disease was caused by a bacterium; you want to produce a biological product to kill this bacterium. Which product you have to
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The product that must be produced to kill a bacterium —which causes a disease— is an antibiotic, which through biotechnology can investigate the structure of the bacterium and synthesize the chemical formula needed to produce antibiotics in high amounts.

Explanation:

Antibiotics are specific medicines for the treatment of infectious diseases, produced by bacteria. <u>Antibiotics can kill bacteria and prevent their replication</u>.

If a disease is produced by bacteria, the product that is necessary to kill those microbes is an antibiotic, for which biotechnology is useful.

By using biotechnology —a branch of biology that uses technology as a research and development tool— it is possible:

  • <em>Know the structure, functions and behavior of pathogenic bacterial strains. </em>
  • <em>Create chemical formulas -antibiotics- that serve to effectively eliminate bacteria, and cure infectious diseases. </em>
  • <em>The synthesis and production of antibiotics on a large scale, allowing their sufficient availability for use.</em>

You find two fossils. One is a very primitive organism and the other is a complex organism. Which of these two fossils do you th
Trava [24]
The very primitive organism is the oldest because, over time, organisms gradually evolved into more complex organisms. First came the primitive organism, then it evolved into the more complex one, or the younger fossil.

If there are 32 sister chromatids in a normal somatic cell, what is the haploid number for that cell?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The answer is 16.

Explanation:

Somatic cells include all the cells in the body except for the reproductive cells. Haploid cells are used to represent the reproductive cells which have half the chromosome as the somatic cells. So if there are 32 sister chromatids in a somatic cell, which means there are 16 chromosomes, then the haploid number for it is 16 chromatids. I hope this answer helps.
