Systemic fungal infections (e.g. Candida and Cryptococcus) and tuberculosis (Mycobacterium) are on the rise. One of the reasons

these organisms have high virulence is that they fare better following macrophage phagocytosis than other microorganisms. Phagocytosis activates the glyoxylate cycle in fungi and mycobacteria, allowing them to use two-carbon substrates to sustain growth in an otherwise nutrient-poor environment of the phagolysosome.
a) Suggest some likely molecules that could be processed through the glyoxylate cycle in this circumstance.

b) What enzymes are unique for this cycle?

c) Does the glyoxylate cycle exist in animals? Why?

Answer:

a) the molecules can be found in the picture below

b) (i) isocitrate lyase ( isocitrate to glyoxylate)

   (ii) malate synthase (glyoxylate to malate)

c)  Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals

Explanation:

b) in the glyoxylate cycle isocitrate lyase helps in conversion of  isocitrate to glyoxylate. Also, helps in conversion of glyoxylate to malate by using malate synthase.

c)   Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals, it only exist in plants and bacteria. This is because they can produce glucose from acetyl-CoA in required amounts.They have the ability to change acetyl-CoA from fat into glucose. But in animals, this mechanism is not possible.

As a country progresses from the preindustrial stage to the postindustrial stage, what will happen to the birth rate and death r
AnnZ [28]

Answer:Both birth rate and death rate will decrease.

Explanation:

Demographic transition: The process whereby a country moves from high birth and death rates to relatively low birth and death rates.

The decline in death rate is due to better economic and social conditions of the country which leads to control of pre-existing diseases, better medical facilities,more food production,increased jobs,better sanitation and hence better quality of life.

Decline in birth rate is due to improved quality of life and also could be due to availability of family planning services in highly developed countries.Moreover access to education especially in female population has created awareness regarding birth control.

Plz help me outttttt
scoundrel [369]

B) The mutation is beneficial and allows those who have it to reproduce more than average.


If the mutation is beneficial, it will become common in a population since the individual(s) that have this beneficial mutation will survive longer to produce more offspring that have this mutation. These offspring will also live longer and spread this mutation through the gene pool through reproduction.


Hope this helps :)
