Explanation:


Metabolism can even confer with the add of all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms, together with digestion and therefore the transport of drugs into and between totally different cells, during which case the set of reactions among the cells is named intermediator metabolism or intermediate metabolism.

Answer:

All their descendants will be heterozygous for the skin color, Bb, expressing blue skin.

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Smurfette has light blue skin
  • Her family is a "true bred" or "purebred" line.
  • She married a boy who has light yellow skin
  • blue skin is the dominant trait expressed by the B allele
  • yellow skin is a recessive trait, expressed by the b allele

Cross: Smurfette  x  Husband

Parentals)            BB     x     bb

Which of the following statements about 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) binding is FALSE?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The answer is C. BPG aids oxygen delivery to tissues by increasing the affinity of myoglobin for oxygen

Explanation:

The 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) which can also be referred to as the 2,3 - di phosphoglycerate , is being produced by the red cells and has the ability to deoxygenate hemoglobin. This is because , his accumulation results to a decrease in the affinity for oxygen, this means that , it will convert hemoglobin to a low oxygen affinity state.

In this case, comparing the options given, it will be concluded that, 2,3  -biphosphoglycerate {BPG} does not aids the delivery of oxygen to tissues, but  decreases the affinity of oxygen, which deoxygenate hemoglobin, and causes the concentration of the carbon dioxide to increase.
