So they’re body doesn’t reject the new organ. The body sees the new organ as a threat, and tries to kill it. The medications the patient receives helps with this, but also cause the patient to have a compromised or weakened immune system.

Which non nutritive artificial sweetener should be avoided by someone who has phenylketonuria (pku?)?
anygoal [31]
Aspartame is very high in the protein, phenylalanine

Individuals with PKU are unable to metabolize this protein from their bodies & it builds up in toxic levels. Anything containing artificial sweeteners, like aspartame, or are very high in phenylalanine should be avoided to minimize the chances of complications.

Hope that helps!

The fundamental similarity between free will and determinism is that _____.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Both determinism and free will support the fact that an individual can behave according to their motives. However, determinism supports this fact that all behaviour is determined by some causing agent/factor and hence it can be predicted. Free will is an illusionary concept and behaviour is governed by uncontrollable internal and external factors. It can also be said that determinism is consistent while free will is inconsistent  

Hence, option A is correct

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from engulfed bacteria that once lived as independent organisms. At some point, a eukaryotic cell engulfed an aerobic bacterium, which then formed an endosymbiotic relationship with the host eukaryote, gradually developing into a mitochondrion. (nature.com)

inn [45]

D. The factors for heredity called alleles

DNA is an acid in the chromosomes in the center of the cells of living things. DNA determines the particular structure and functions of every cell and is responsible for characteristics being passed on from parents to their children.

An allele is a viable DNA coding that occupies a given location on a chromosome.

A mutation in a G-protein prevents the alpha-subunit from dissociating from the beta/gamma-subunit. What effect will this have o
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

the pathway will be under-expressed.

  • the alpha subunit helps to bind with either GDP or GTP. when the α subunit is bound with GDP, it will be bound to β and γ subunits and thus forms an inactive state for G-protein.
  • when the alpha subunit binds with the GTP, it becomes activated and dissociates β and γ subunits.

if G-protein Coupled Receptor is unable from dissociating β and γ subunits, then the pathway will go under expression.  

The chemical qualities of the alpha subunit allow it to bind easily to one of two guanine subunits, GDP or GTP. The protein thus has two functional formations. When GDP is bound to the alpha subunit, the alpha subunit remains bound to the beta-gamma subunit to form an inactive trimeric protein.

G-proteins, cAMP, and Ion Channel Opening. The alpha subunit activates adenylate cyclase, in purple, and loses GTP. Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cyclic AMP, which then activates Protein Kinase, shown in blue. Protein Kinase phosphorylates an ion channel, letting sodium ions rush into the cell.

As a result of the ligand binding to its site on the G-protein-linked receptor, A) the G-protein changes conformation and GTP replaces the GDP on the alpha subunit. ... Inactivation of the alpha subunit occurs when its own phosphorylase activity removes a phosphate from the GTP.
