What is the term for the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen?

Biology
1 answer:
Alekssandra [29.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Fermentation

Explanation:

In the absence of oxygen, the cell uses a process called fermentation. Fermentation doesn't break the sugar down any further, it simply helps reset the system so that more sugar can be broken down.

Because aerobic respiration breaks the sugar all the way down, it releases much more energy than fermentation.

Hope this helps :)

Proteins are important food nutrients. A technician working at a food company is interested in the nutritional content of seeds/
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: Sample 1 then, has more variety of proteins but less quantity of each one, while sample 2 has less variety but more quantity of the two proteins present.

Explanation:

Proteins are molecules found in the cells of all living organisms. A protein is composed of monomers called amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. To analyze proteins, a technique called SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) is used. <u>This technique is used to separate proteins according to their electrophoretic mobility, depending on polypeptide chain length, molecular mass, post-translational modifications and other factors</u>. SDS (sodium dodecylsulfate) is an anionic surfactant compound that breaks non-covalent bonds in proteins, denatures them causing these protein molecules to lose their native conformation and provides the polypeptide with a negative charge that is proportional to the chain length (the number of amino acids) and, therefore, to the molecular mass of the protein. The electrostatic repulsion created by the binding of SDS to the protein is one of the causes of the protein losing its native conformation, thus eliminating the differences in conformation of the different proteins to be separated in the gel.

An electric current is applied to the gel where the proteins are seeded, causing the negatively charged proteins to migrate through the gel in the direction of the anode (positively charged region). Short proteins will move more easily and faster through the pores of the gel, while larger proteins will find it more difficult to do so. After a certain time, the proteins will have migrated according to their size (measured in kDa or kiloDaltons). After electrophoresis, the gel should be stained with Coomassie blue or silver stain, allowing visualization of the separated proteins. After staining, the different proteins will appear as distinct bands on the gel. In addition, the higher the amount of a protein, the more intense the color of its band will be.

Extract No. 1 shows three bands: 25, 30 and 35 kDa. <u>This means that it has three different proteins</u>, each with a different molecular weight. Extract number 2 shows two bands: 25 and 35 kDa. <u>It means that this sample has only 2 proteins. And being bands of higher intensity, we can say that there is more of each protein.</u>

Sample 1 then, has more variety of proteins but less quantity of each one, while sample 2 has less variety but more quantity of the two proteins present.

Select a drug to research. Explain how tolerance and withdrawal would work for a person addicted to that drug.
finlep [7]
So here is the most obvious thing here… tolerance is a physical effect of repeated use of a drug, a great example would be a alcohol. Always the Tolerance does not always equal a type of addiction. Withdrawal: Symptoms a person experiences when not using a substance, due to the body reacting to no longer having the substance. Now back to the alcohol… alcohol is a very commonly used on types of drugs, for an example like regular rubbing a alcohol, drinking and more. This type can really make somebody addicted to the type of substance that is in it. Hope this helps!

Which refers to swelling as a result of inflammation?
Bad White [126]

Answer: Edema

Explanation:

The swelling that is caused as the result of inflammation is known as Edema. Just after an injury takes place the traumatized area becomes red, painful and warm. It also starts to swell.

This swelled area is also known as Edema which is caused due to acute response of acute inflammation.

This response is trigerred by the injured tissues. When the body starts healing then, change in blood flow takes place and swelling is also cured.

But sometimes it is so acute that it restricts the normal blood flow and movement of the affected area.
