Because organisms are made primarily of water, they resist rapid temperature changes. This useful quality is based on water's high specific heat.

It takes a lot of heat to increase the temperature of water because some of the heat must be used to break hydrogen bonds between the water molecules. It is because water has a high specific heat capacity.

Galactosemia can result from a deficiency of either galactokinase or UDP-glucose:galactose 1-phosphate uridylytransferase (trans
nadezda [96]

Answer:

b. A transferase deficiency will result in an accumulation of the toxic metabolite galactosse 1-phosphate.

c. A galactokinase deficiency will cause an accumulation of galactose.

Explanation:

Transferase is an enzyme which is responsible for the breakdown of galactose which is a known milk sugar. Its deficiency causes the formation of toxic materials such as galactose-1-phosphate which comes from galactose, and galactitol. Galactokinase is also an enzyme which helps in the conversion of galactose into galactose 1-phosphate with the expenditure of ATP molecule, so its deficiency causes the deposition of galactose.

Alborosie

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Glucose           it is a sugar and then a biomolecule. It is necessary in the

                          cellular respiration because it helps in the production of

                          ATP.

Small                90% of the absorption of the nutrients is in the Small

                           intestine.

H₂O                    water is a very useful molecule that is necessary in most of

                           the chemical reactions.

Small                  I was doubting between small and large intestine, I finally

                           decided by small intestine because it absorbs 90% of all

                          the water.

Is blood clotting an example of a positive or negative feedback mechanism? Explain your answer based on the description of the m
serg [7]

Answer:

Blood clothing is an example of positive feedback.

This type of feedback mechanism is useful to the body because it multiplies the factor that intervenes in clotting accelerating the process.

If a toxin affects the molecules that signal for platelets the feedback will not be effective enough to produce clotting and the body will keep bleeding.

Explanation:

Blood clotting is an example of positive feedback due to the fact that when the vascular endothelium is damaged  platelets will go to this area and activate themselves once they are in contact with the collagen fibers of the damaged structure. When the platelets are activated they will release the contents that is stored in their granules. One of the contents is a Gq-linked protein receptor cascade,  that will increase the concentration of calcium in the platelets. Calcium activates protein kinase C, which, in turn, activates phospholipase A2 (PLA2). PLA2  will modifies  an  integrin membrane  increasing its affinity to bind fibrinogen. The activated platelets change their  shape , and the fibrinogen cross-links with the integrin membrane aiding  in  the aggregation of adjacent platelets. After this the coagulation cascade takes place. there are two pathways the extrinsic  and the extrinsic one.

The extrinsic pathway will be activated due to tissular factor released  by the platelets and the intrinsic pathway will be activated due to endothelial collagen. The final product of both pathways is factor x.

Factor x will transform prothrombin into thrombin will activate the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin. Thrombin will form a net of fibrin that will the clot.

A cascade reaction is useful because every component of the cascade are related making a quick reaction once that one of then is activated and can activate other or more factors.

If a toxin affects the molecules that signals for platelets, platelets will not go to the damaged area and in consequence there will not be thrombin and fibrin to form the clot together with platelets.

Are virus living things? Why?
pishuonlain [190]
Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things.
