Answer:

Explanation:

For the growth and flourishing of animals Aromatic amino acids are very important, but because of lack of shikimate these amino acids are not synthesized in animals pathway.But this pathway is found in both plants and micro organisms and they have the ability to produce these amino acids as well as some secondary metabolites required in animals.

There are different role played by this pathway in organisms such as;

1) It serve as a source of Tryptophan and phenylalanie which are important aromatic amino acid.

2)Neuroactive substances such as serotonin,epinephrine are biosynthesized as result of the product from the pathway.

3)Alkaloids that's found in plants as well as antibiotics possessed by microbes, which are essential therapeutical in animals are secondary metabolites that is biosynthesized as a result of the activities of this product of this pathway.

4)Shikimate is useful in the synthesizing of 6-Fluoroshikimic acid.

5) The shikimate pathway is important for the synthesis of a plethora of aromatic compounds in both plants and bacteria as well as fungi.

A 50.0g g sample of 16n decays to 12.5g in 14.4 seconds. What is its half life
mixas84 [53]
T is amount after time t 
<span>Ao is initial amount </span>
<span>t is time </span>
<span>HL is half life </span>

<span>log (At) = log [ Ao x (1/2)^(t/HL) ] </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + log (1/2)^(t/HL) </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + (t/HL) x log (1/2) </span>

<span>( log At - log Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>

All weather is energy in motion. Where does the energy come from
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The Sun radiates huge amounts of energy. Only a small portion of that energy hits the Earth, but it is enough to light our days, heat our air and land, and create weather systems over the oceans. Most of the energy you will learn about comes from the Sun. The Earth also gives off energy.

At stp which gas will diffuse more readily than ne
pav-90 [236]
I am assuming you are talking about Neon. The rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the molar mass of the gas. Since neon has a molar mass of 20.18 grams, the gas must have a lower molar mass and must be a gas at 273 Kelvin. There are several elements that fulfill this criteria: Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Fluorine.
