A young dog has never had much energy. He is brought to a veterinarian for help and she decides to conduct several diagnostic te

sts. She discovers that the dog's mitochondria can use only fatty acids and amino acids for respiration, and his cells produce more lactate than normal. Of the following, which is the best explanation of the dog's condition? A young dog has never had much energy. He is brought to a veterinarian for help and she decides to conduct several diagnostic tests. She discovers that the dog's mitochondria can use only fatty acids and amino acids for respiration, and his cells produce more lactate than normal. Of the following, which is the best explanation of the dog's condition? His cells cannot move NADH from glycolysis into the mitochondria. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane. His cells have a defective electron transport chain, so glucose goes to lactate instead of to acetyl CoA. His cells lack the enzyme in glycolysis that forms pyruvate.

Answer:

The correct answer would be His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.

In cellular respiration, glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and converts glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate. Pyruvate is then transported into the mitochondria for further oxidation.

It is transported into the mitochondria with the help of transport protein pyruvate translocase where it is decorboxylated to produce acetyl-CoA. This acetyl-CoA then enters the Krebs cycle to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) with the help of oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.

In absence of this transport protein, the cell can not completely oxidize the glucose or carbohydrate. It switches to the metabolism of fats and amino acids in order to meet the energy demands of the cell.

Arte-miy333 [17]
<u>The heart is a cone-shaped muscular organ located within the mediastinum of the thorax.</u>

The mediastinum is the space lined with membranous tissue between the lungs. The mediastinum contains not only the heart but also the great vessels (pulmonary artery, aorta, pulmonary veins, and the superior and inferior vena cava), as well as parts of the esophagus and the trachea.

<span><u>Its apex rests on the </u><u>diaphragm</u><u> and its superior margin lies at the level of the </u><u>2nd</u><u> rib.</u>
</span>
The apex of the heart is the conical area created by the confluence of the ventricles, but mainly by the left ventricle. It rests on the diaphragm. The superior margin of the heart, also known as the base, lies at the level of the second rib.

<span><u>Approximately two-thirds of the heart mass is seen to the left of the </u><u>midsternal border</u><span><u>.</u>
</span>
This is because to the left of the midsternal border lies the left ventricle which comprises most of the heart mass as the left ventricle is the one responsible for pumping blood throughout the systemic circulation and significant pressure should be overcame; resulting to the physiologic hypertrophy of the left ventricle.

</span><span><u>The heart is enclosed in a serosal sac called the </u><u>pericardium</u><u>. The loosely fitting double outer layer consists of the outermost fibrous pericardium, lined by the parietal layer of the serous pericardium.</u></span>

The pericardium is one of three layers of the heart (other ones being the myocardium and the endocardium); and is the outer layer of the heart. The pericardium is composed of two tissues, the fibrous pericardium and the serous pericardium. The pericardium functions to lubricate the movement of the heart by the action of the pericardial fluid. 

<span><u>The heart has </u><u>four</u><u> chambers. R</u></span><span><u>elative to the roles of these chambers, the </u><u>atria </u><u>are the receiving chambers, </u></span><span><u>whereas the </u><u>ventricles </u><u>are the discharging chambers.</u>
</span>
The four chambers of the heart are namely the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and the left ventricle. Venous blood goes to the right atrium via the vena cavas then to the right ventricle via the tricuspid valve; then to the pulmonary circulation via the pulmonary artery where it will be oxygenated. From the pulmonary circulation, the left atrium will receive the oxygenated blood via the pulmonary veins then to the left ventricle via the mitral valve where it will be pumped to the systemic circulation via the aorta.

In single-gene traits, natural selection can lead to which of the following?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer;

-Allele frequency change

In single-gene traits, natural selection can lead to allele frequency change.

Explanation;

-Allele frequencies can change over time within a single population, and frequently differ between populations. This change is due to four different processes: mutation, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow and genetic drift.

-Random forces lead to genetic drift. Sometimes, there can be random fluctuations in the numbers of alleles in a population. These changes in relative allele frequency, called genetic drift, can either increase or decrease by chance over time.
