Total parenteral nutrition should be used cautiously in clients with pancreatitis because such clients are unable to tolerate high glucose concentration hence TPN should be used cautiously. Additionally they should regulate the consumption of proteins and fats since high proteins intake increases the risk of encephalopathy while fats are difficult to digest. Total parenteral nutrition (PN) is the feeding of a person intravenously, bypassing the usual process of eating and digestion. The individual recieves nutritional formulae that contains nutrients such as glucose amino acids, salts, lipids and added vitamins and dietary minerals.

Onsidering that gluconeogenesis requires a net input of 4 atp equivalents compared to glycolysis, why would a cell utilize this

Pani-rosa [81]

The process by which organisms create sugars (specifically glucose) from non-carbohydrate precursors is known as gluconeogenesis.

The only energy source used by the brain, testes, erythrocytes, and renal medulla is glucose, with the exception of ketone bodies during fasting. There are three highly exergonic stages in glycolysis. Hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase are among the enzymes involved in these additional regulatory stages. In biological processes, both forward and backward reactions are possible.
Similar to glycolysis, but with the process going the other way, is gluconeogenesis. Fructose-1,6-bP, glucose-6-P, and pyruvate all undergo fairly spontaneous conversions in the process of gluconeogenesis, which is why these reactions are tightly controlled.
For the organism to function properly, energy conservation is crucial. Gluconeogenesis is suppressed when there is an abundance of energy available.

Therefore, gluconeogenesis conserve more energy.

Suppose two independently assorting genes are involved in the pathway that determines fruit color in squash. These genes interac

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

100% yellow fruit color, Yyww.

Explanation:

Available data:

two independently assorting genes

the W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype

w allele codes for a colored squash

The allele Y codes for a dominant yellow phenotype

the allele y codes for a recessive green phenotype

The phenotypes from the first locus will always mask the phenotype produced by the second locus if the dominant allele (W) is present at the first locus. This masking pattern is known as dominant epistasis

Epistasis means "interruption" and refers to interactions between genes located in different loci in the same chromosome. An “epistatic gene” can alter, influence, or suppress the expression of a "hypostatic gene". When the epistatic gene is dominant, the interaction is known as "dominant epistasis".

W suppresses the expression of Y and y, this means that whenever W is present, the fruit is white. If W is not present, the fruit color can be expressed.

So, the proposed cross in the present problem occurs between a green fruited individual and yellow fruited individual, which suggests that W is absent.

Genotype for Green fruit: yyww

Genotype for purebred Yellow fruit: YYww

Cross:

Parental) YYww x yyww

Gametes) Yw Yw Yw Yw yw yw yw yw

Punnet square) Yw Yw Yw Yw

yw Yyww Yyww Yyww Yyww

F1) 100% Yellow fruited plants, Yyww

As these two genes assort independently, we can also represent the cross for each gene by separate, like this:

For w gene:

Parental) ww x ww

Gametes) w w w w

Punnet square) w w

w ww ww

F1) 4/4 or 100% colored-fruits

For Y gene:

Parental) YY x yy

Gametes) Y Y y y

Punnet square) Y Y

y Yy Yy

F1) 4/4 or 100% yellow fruits, Yy.
