In the metabolism of amino acids for energy, what is the effect of the amino acid group

1 answer:

6 0

For use in (aerobic) respiration, polypeptides would first be hydrolysed to their amino acid monomers. These are each deaminated, i.e. have their amino groups removed, producing an organic acid, which can be fed into the Kreb's Cycle, and a waste product, ammonia (NH₃), which is moved to the liver and removed from the blood.

Answer:

Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem because if they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.

Steroids differ structurally from triglycerides and phospholipids, although they are all classified as lipids. What characterist

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Lipids are hydrocarbon molecules that make up the structure of living beings. Few examples are fats, oils and waxes. Steroids are also a class of lipids but they are not structurally related to other lipids but do share some common properties with them. They are insoluble in water and are hydrophobic( water-repelling).

Explanation:

Lipids are insoluble in water as they are non-polar but soluble in non polar solvents (chloroform). Fat soluble vitamins like A,D,E,K and steroids have a different structure composed of fused four rings.

The most common example of steroid is cholesterol. Cholesterol acts as a precursor for many hormones and other signalling molecules.

In one of your research experiments, you varied the amount of light exposure of rats to determine whether the rats would press a

Anika [276]

Answer:

intensity with which the rats pressed the lever

Explanation:

In research, there are two main variables which are dependent or independent.

Independent variables are controlled or manipulated by the experimenter and the independent variable in this experiment is the amount of light exposure.

The response or outcome, which is then measured is the dependent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the intensity with which the rats pressed the lever with varying exposure to light.

In summary, the independent variable has a causal effect on the dependent variable so in this experiment the amount of light exposure has a casual effect on whether the rats would press a lever more.
