Answer:

D. Because science only uses facts that are proven 100% true through the use of variables.

Explanation:

All the knowledge we read is science books are not merely some observed facts but the result of a systematic scientific methodology through which facts are tested. Science only gives us that knowledge as facts which is proven 100% true through the use of variables.For example: if a scientist has studied the effect of salt stress on the growth of plants and he got the results in form of graphs which show that growth of salt treated plants in very less than normal plants. Then he needs to draw conclusion after consulting relevant previous experiments and say that salt stress hinders growth and why? with reasonable logic.

Variables are the things hat he changes like environmental conditions in previous example to see that in changed conditions plant is showing changed behavior. This way a scientist strengthens his results. Therefore, we can say that whatever knowledge we get through science is proven 100% true through the use of variables.

Hope it helps!

Bingel [31]

For the first question, the answer is C. green because a phenotype is the physical characteristics of an organism that can be seen. Of the options given, only green is a characterisitc that could be seen.

For the second question, the best answer is A. somatic because somatic mutations occur in the gametes.

The total degradation of a fatty acid with an odd number of carbons yields acetyl-CoA and another compound, X. Show the structur

Brrunno [24]

Answer: X is propionyl-CoA, CH3CH2C0CoA

The structure and reaction pathway are shown in the attachments.

Explanation: In the oxidation of odd-number fatty acids, the substrate for the last pass through beta-oxidation is fatty acyl-CoA with a five-carbon fatty acid. This is oxidized and cleaved to acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle while the propionyl-CoA is converted in three enzymatic steps to succinyl-CoA which can then enter the citric acid cycle.

Step 1: Conversion of propionyl-CoA to D-methylmalonyl-CoA

Propionyl-CoA is carboxylated to D-methylmalonyl-CoA by the enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase, which contains the cofactor biotin. A molecule of ATP and Carbon (iv) oxide (in the form of hydrogen carbonate ion) is required also.

Step 2: Epimerization of D-methylmalonyl-CoA

D-methylmalonyl-CoA is epimerized by the enzyme methylmalonyl-Co epimerase to its L stereoisomer, L-methylmalonyl-CoA.

Step 3: Conversion of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA

This reaction is catalysed by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase which requires the coenzyme B12.
