Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom<span> in amu, or </span>atomic mass units. Atomic mass<span> is the average</span>mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes.The full chemical symbol for an element shows its mass number at the top, and its atomic number at the bottom. This symbol tells you that the chlorine atom<span> has 17 protons. It will also have 17 electrons, because the </span>number of protons and electrons in an atom is the same.The atomic number specifies how many protons an element has in its nucleus. In the periodic table<span> of the elements, elements are arranged in order of ascending atomic number. Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.</span>

Andrej [43]

Answer:

A.Glycogenesis: Glycogen synthase

B. Glucogenesis: Fructose 1,6 biphosphate phosphatase

C. Urea cycle  : Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase

D.Fatty acid synthesis:  Acetyl CoA carboxylase

E.Glycolysis : Phosphofructokinase 1

F. Pentose phosphate pathway: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

Explanation:

A. Glycogen synthase converts glucose into glycogen during glycogenesis.

B. Fructose 1,6 biphosphate phosphatase catalyzes condensation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate during glucogenesis.

C. Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I catalyses production of arbamoyl phosphate during urea cycle.

D. Carboxylase controls fatty acid metabolism.

E. The phosphofructokinase 1 is an important enzyme that regulate  formation of two-phosphate sugar molecules during glycolysis.

F. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase participates in the pentose phosphate pathway. This pathway gives reducing energy to cells.

Eukaryotic cells contain DNA in the mitochondria and chloroplasts (in addition to the nucleus). Is the organization of DNA in th
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The DNA is more closer to bacteria.

Explanation:

Mitochondria and chloroplast are considered as semi-autonomous organelle because they contain their own genetic material. The mitochondria and chloroplast evolution can be explained by the endosymbiont theory.

The DNA of mitochondria and chloroplast are more closely related to bacterial chromosome rather than eukaryotic chromosome.  Both the organelle and bacterial DNA are double stranded and  their translation can be inhibited by the chloramphenicol. Some of their replicating enzymes also show similar characteristics.

Thus, the DNA is more closer to bacteria.

alexdok [17]
The Answer Is D: Bulls Are More Sensitive To Noise And Color, While Cows Are Less Sensitive. In A Rodeo, The Bull Riders Make Noises And Fling Around Red Capes, Making The Bull Angry. The Ironic Thing Is, Bulls Are Colorblind, So The Cape Gets Them Mad Because of The Movement. With Cows, They Don't Really Care About Noise. If You Were To Drive A Really Noise Tractor Around In The Pasture With Them, Which Farmers Do, They Don't Tend To Care.
