Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a type of cancer that is caused by a specific chromosomal alteration that leads to the ina

ppropriate expression of a kinase called Abl. Kinases are enzymes that put phosphate groups onto macromolecules such as proteins. A drug used to treat CML, imatinib, binds to the active site of Abl kinase. Why does this drug work to treat this type of cancer?
A) By binding to the active site, the drug decreases the activation energy for the reaction driven by Abl kinase.
B) By binding to the active site, the drug prevents the ability of Abl kinase to bind to its substrate.
C) By binding to the active site, the drug allows for a better induced fit between Abl kinase and its substrate.
D) By binding to the active site, the drug increases the amount of free energy released from the reaction driven by Abl kinase.

Which of the following options lists the stages in cellular respiration in the correct order? glycolysis, the citric acid cycle,
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct answer is  glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration contains three major processes that are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.  

In glycolysis, partial oxidation of one mole of glucose gives two moles of pyruvate and 2 NADH and 2 ATP. Then this pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA in the mitochondrial matrix(in eukaryotes) and acts as a fuel for the Krebs cycle.

In the Krebs cycle, acetyl CoA gives rise to 4 CO₂, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FADH₂. So from glycolysis and Krebs cycle, only 4 ATP is produced and most of the energy remains in the form of NADH and FADH₂.

So in oxidative phosphorylation electrons are released from these molecules into machinery of oxidative phosphorylation to synthesize ATP.

What is your stance on genetically modified foods? Are you for or against them?
Vinvika [58]
GMOs have a ton of pros and cons, so it's hard to say. Although, I personally would like to avoid them. With the amount of people who have gone gluten free, there's more of a reason for it than being a hipster or a yuppie. Because the demand for wheat is so high, we had to genetically modify it. Although this increased its abundance, a lot of humans' digestive systems haven't evolved with it. That is the reason why it makes so many people sick, because they cant digest it. If the rate at which GMOs are being created and nourished continues, it's likely our digestive systems will reject it, possibly causing famine due to the inability to eat our own food.<span />

Answer:

The cell pictured in the diagram is a plant cell because there is are chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are located in plant cells and not in animal cells. Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis occurs, and photosynthesis does not occur in animals.
