Studies showing that identical twins are more likely to have similar weights/body compositions than fraternal twins are an indic

ation that genetics play a role in obesity. Other studies show that twins who follow different lifestyles and dietary patterns over time have different body compositions. These latter studies indicate that factors play a role in obesity.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

<em>The latter studies truly showed that some factors other than genetic predisposition play a role in obesity.</em>

The composition of the genome of an individual might predispose such individual to a higher risk of being obese. However, that such individual will become obese depends on some other factors, the most important being the kind of lifestyle the individual lives.

A lifestyle such as eating foods high in fat content, not eating adequate fruits, not eating eating adequate vegetables and drinking a lot of alcohol can cause someone to be obese apart from genetic predisposition.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (a yeast species) mutants are available that grow on pyruvate or ethanol, but not sugars or glycerol.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The enzyme is the pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

The designated enzyme can only grow in pyruvate or in ethanol. They are said to be in anaerobic conditions. If the end product of glycolysis is pyruvate and the enzyme that transforms phosphoenol pyruvate into pyruvate is called pyruvate kinase. In a reaction under anaerobic conditions, the pyruvate is transformed into ethanol. So if the pyruvate kinase enzyme is mutated, pyruvate cannot be transformed into ethanol and Saccharomyces cerevisiae could not survive in that medium.

Various factors influences the fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. If we were to chart the composition of
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

D

an increase in the length of the fatty acid tails.

Explanation:

As average annual temperatures decrease, we would expect to find phospholipids within the cell membranes of organisms to have both saturated

and unsaturated fatty acid tails. Saturated fatty acids tails are arranged linearly, in a way that maximizes interactions between the tails and

decreases bilayer fluidity. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, have more distance between the tails, fewer intermolecular interactions and

more membrane fluidity. Longer tails and decreased cholesterol also decrease fluidity
