Tryptophan self-controls its synthesis. If we have a large amount of tryptophan in the sense that it exceeds, tryptophan would act as a co-repressor which prevents synthesis of more enzymes for its production. Hope this answers the question.

Answer: Tryptophan can act as promoter, co-repressor and repressor. This is how the tryptophan controls its own synthesis.

Explanation:

It depends on the amount of Tryptophan, present in the cell which decides its behavior.

If the amount of the Tryptophan present in the cell is less than normal then it binds to the repressor which starts the synthesis of the enzymes which is required for the production of the tryptophan.
If there an excess of Tryptophan in the cell then it acts as the promoter which prevents the synthesis of the enzyme required for the production of Tryptophan
It also acts as co repressor and stops the production of the enzyme required for the synthesis of Tryptophan.

The generation of an action potential in a neuron requires the presence what type of membrane channels?

Solnce55 [7]

The generation of an action potential in a neuron requires the presence of voltage-gated channels, which are a class of transmembrane proteins that form ion channels that are activated by changes in the electrical membrane potential near the channel.

How is fetal circulation different from adult circulation? Be sure to discuss where blood is oxygenated in each as well as any b

Jlenok [28]

Explanation:

One of the main differences between adult and fetal circulation is the direction and where the non-oxygenated and oxygenated blood circulates. In adults arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and veins carry non-oxygenated blood towards the heart; in fetuses, arteries carry non-oxygenated blood away from the heart and veins carry oxygenated blood back to the heart.

Another difference is where does the exchange of gases takes place, in fetuses blood is oxygenated in the placenta, in adults in the lungs.

The circulation between adults and fetuses differs in where does the pressure increases, in adults is on the left side of the heart, in fetuses on the right side.

Finally, another important difference between adults and fetuses is the presence of shunts, in fetuses these shunts allow both sides of the heart to work parallelly letting mix blood from both ventricles. This shunt gets closed after birth, so adults do not have them.

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!
