The correct answer is the last statement.
If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.
It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.
In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
Answer:C
Explanation:The role a species plays in the ecosystem is called its niche. A habitat is the physical environment in which a species lives.
The correct answer is B.individual
Biosphere, ecosystem, and population, are all found on higher levels of ecological organization.
Answer:
Symbiosis can be described as a biological interaction between organisms of different species.
There are different forms of symbiosis. A type of symbiosis in which both the organisms benefit from each other is called as mutualistic symbiosis.
The blue fungus and the pink plant are able to grow more in size when placed side by side because they undergo symbiosis. They both help each other and develop a symbiotic relationship which allows both of them to have enhanced growth.
