Sac-like structures under the plasma membrane are a characteristic of which major group of protists?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer is alveolates. The sac-like structures under their plasma membrane are called alveoli. The alveoli provide support to the plasma membrane. Examples of groups of alveolates are ciliates, such as Paramecium, dinoflagellates, apicomplexa, and foraminifera. They lie under the phylum, Ciliophora.

How many atp equivalents are consumed in the conversion of each of the following to a glucosyl residue in glycogen?

Nina [5.8K]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate - 1

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate - 1

Pyruvate - 13

G-6-P - 1

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

1) Dihydroxyacetone phosphate = 1

G1P + GTP --> UDPG + PPi two P is equivalent to 2 ATP --->2 ADP + Pi) Therefore, two ATP equivalents - but UDP is the product and only one P needed

2 DHAP --> F1,6-BP -->F6P --> G6P -->G1P -->UDPG --> glucosyl residue

2) Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate = 1

3) Pyruvate = 13

2 pyr + 2 ATP --> 2 OAA

2 OAA + 2 GTP --> 2 PEP

2 PEP --> 2 2PG --> 2 3PG

2 3PG + 2 ATP --> 2 1,3 BPG

2 1,3 BPG + 2 NADH --> 2 G3P

2 NADH = 6 ATP

2 G3P --> DHP + G3P --> FDP -- > F6P + P

F6P --> G6P --> G1P

G1P + UTP --> UDPG + PP

4) Glucose-6-phosphate = 1

G6P -->G1P G1P + UTP --> UDP-GLC + 2 Pi

UDP-Glc + glycogen --> glycogen+ 1 Glc

What is the process in which cells obtain energy without using oxygen?

Sedaia [141]

Fermentation is the process that releases energy without using oxygen . In cellular respiration, anaerobic fermentation contrasts with aerobic cell respiration. Both processes convert glucose from food into adenosine triphosphate for energy for cells.

For some invertebrates that live in water, the sense of taste and the sense of smell are identical. Why do you think separate or

Flura [38]

The answer relates to the medium in which the sensed molecules travel. On land, animals detect a scent through organic molecules transported in the air. Land animals will experience a taste sensation by grasping an object using their mouth. Here, the organic molecules providing the sensation are transported by saliva or organic fluids of the object. So on land, there is a clear distinction between molecules transported in the wind and those that can be tasted. Water is a much more dense medium than air, and can carry small and large organic molecules, unlike air. Therefore, aquatic animals have little need for olfactory organs as all molecules can be 'tasted' from the water.
