Answer:

in this individual , at the time of presentation's ratio of insulin is GREATER than glucagon.

Explanation:

the reason for this is that as the patient is HYPOGLYCEMIC ,it means that the blood glucose level is low . in blood, glucose concentration is maintained by 2 hormones namely: INSULIN and GLUCAGON. insulin depresses blood glucose concentration whereas glucagon increases blood glucose concentration. as patient is hypoglycemic then , INSULIN > GLUCAGON.

Answer:

Insulin > Glucagon.

Explanation:

The blood glucose level in the body is maintained by the two hormones known as insulin and glucagon. These hormones are released by the beta cells and alpha cells of the pancreas.

The insulin decreases the blood glucose level whereas glucagon increase the blood glucose level. The individual is hypoglycemic means that he has low blood glucose level in his body. At this condition, the body has high insulin and low glucagon level in the body.

Thus, the answer is Insulin > Glucagon.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The complementary strand is given below (in italics):

A G C A A T C C G T C T T G G T C G T T A G G C A G A A C C

<em>T C G T T A G G C A G A A C C A G C A A T C C G T C T T G G </em>

Explanation:

As per the rules of complementary base pairing, Adenine will bond with Thymine (and vice versa) and Guanine will bond with Cytosine (and vice versa). Three hydrogen bonds will form between G and C, whereas two hydrogen bonds will be formed when A and T bind to each other.

humans developed antibiotics to fight bacterial infections. however, some antibiotics are no longer effective in killing the bac
andrezito [222]
After a certain period of time, diseases and other sicknesses evolve along with humans, making the antibiotics nearly or completely ineffective. For example, if you took one tylenol when you have a cold, it may not be as effective the next day or so and would need to double the dose. Obviously it will all depend on the illness, and what stage it is in, and the strength of the medication. Also, at one point a vaccine for rabies might need an advanced formula because it might have evolved in animals. The possibilities are endless.

Different mRNA molecules can have poly-A tails of different lengths. Considering the purpose of adding the poly-A tail (from the
Roman55 [17]

Answer:  Then the longer it is, the more it protects against degradation. Proteins that are needed over a long period of time come from a long tailed mRNA.

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the ribonucleic acid that transfers the genetic code from the DNA of the cell nucleus to a ribosome in the cytoplasm. It determines the order in which the amino acids in a protein will bind and acts as a template or pattern for the synthesis of that protein.

Messenger RNA is synthesized in the cell nucleus in eukaryotes from the process called DNA transcription. <u> In most cases, once this messenger RNA has been synthesized, it must be matured (RNA maturation)</u>. This involves the removal of intercalary sequences called non-coding introns from the protein to be synthesized. Then, the addition of a structure called CAP to the 5' end, which is a modified guanine nucleotide needed for the normal process of DNA transplantation and maintaining its stability. This is critical for proper recognition and access of the ribosome.  Also, polyadenylation which is the addition of the sequence called Poly-A to the 3' end. The Poly-A sequence is made up of several adenine molecules and is located at about 20-30 bp towards the tail (AAPAA sequence) or polyadenylation signal, which protects the end of the mRNA. The polyadenylation helps to increase the period of the message, so that the transcription lasts longer in the cell and therefore more protein is translated and produced.

This mature messenger RNA is transferred to the cell's cytoplasm, in the case of eukaryotes, through pores in the nuclear membrane.  The messenger RNA in the cytoplasm is coupled to the ribosomes, which are the machinery in charge of protein synthesis.<u>  However, after a certain amount of time the mRNA is degraded</u> into its component nucleotides, usually with the help of ribonucleases. So, an mRNA with a short tail will have a shorter lifespan.

Then, proteins that are needed over a long period of time come from a long tailed mRNA. And proteins that are briefly nedded come from a short tailed mRNA. This is because, as explained, the Poly-A tail serves to protect the mRNA molecule from degradation. So, then the longer it is, the more it protects against degradation.
