Answer:
Any insect unlucky enough to land on the mouth-like leaves of an Australian pitcher plant will meet a grisly end. The plant's prey is drawn into a vessel-like ‘pitcher’ organ where a specialized cocktail of enzymes digests the victim.
Now, by studying the pitcher plant's genome—and comparing its insect-eating fluids to those of other carnivorous plants—researchers have found that meat-eating plants the world over have hit on the same deadly molecular recipe, even though they are separated by millions of years of evolution.
There are 3 sources of energy, which are also known as macronutrients ,carbohydrates, protein, and fat.
Of these three, carbohydrates are the body’s preferred source of energy. Carbohydrates break down into glucose, which is an immediate source of energy especially for the brain and muscles. The macronutrient proportions recommended for general, healthy diet are: 45-65% of energy (or calories) from carbohydrates, 10-20% of energy (or calories) from protein and 20-35% of energy (or calories) from fat.
Select the correct statement about lymph transport.
Lymph transport is faster than that occurring in veins.
Under normal conditions, lymph vessels are very high-pressure conduits.
Lymph transport is only necessary when illness causes tissue swelling.
Lymph transport depends on the movement of adjacent tissues, such as skeletal muscles.
Answer:
Microarray technology is a very useful technology that allows to study the measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes simultaneously. It consists of a solid support (that can be glass, silice, or nylon), and to it are attached a lot of single stranded DNA fragments that acts like probes. By complementarity, the genes corresponding to this probes that are being expressed at some time will attach to it. Probe-target hybridization is usually detected and quantified by detection of a fluorophore compund, a silver stained, or chemiluminescence-labeled targets.
