9. The production of the enzymes that catalyze the reactions of the urea cycle can increase or decrease according to the metabol

ic needs of the organism. High levels of these enzymes are associated with high-protein diets as well as starvation. Explain this paradox.

Answer:

The paradox that is carried out with the consumption of high protein diets. it is said that the individuals that consume high protein diet uses amino acid as a metabolic fuel source.

The amino acid groups are disposed as urea, which increases the flux through the urea cycle. In case of starvation when the carbohydrates of the body is completely consumed only protein is left in the body.

The high protein diet will increase the demand for the enzyme as the it will result ending up in the urea cycle.

So, more enzymes will be required for the urea cycle to take place.

Answer:

Answer:

B. only chemoreceptors,

mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and

nociceptors

Explanation:

Receptors are chemical structures, that

receive and transduce signals that may

be integrated into biological systems.

Receptors that can be found in the

mouth include: chemoreceptors,

mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and

nociceptors.

Chemoreceptors

These are receptors that detects

chemical stimuli, either molecules or ions

dissolved in liquids. An example would

be our taste buds in the mouth, because

they respond to specific molecules or

ions in our ingested food.

Thermoreceptors responds to changes

in temperature. These receptors are

present in the oral cavity, skin and

hypothalamus.

Mechanoreceptors are receptors that

respond to distortion of the plasma

membrane that occurs due to touch,

pressure, vibration, stretch, stress or

strain

. They can be found in the mucosae of

hypothalamus.

Mechanoreceptors are receptors that

respond to distortion of the plasma

membrane that occurs due to touch,

pressure, vibration, stretch, stress or

strain

. They can be found in the mucosae of

ginviva (gum), cheek, tongue and soft and

hard palate.

Nociceptors are receptor responds

to painful stimuli. The purpose of

nociceptors is to inform the body of

injury, damage or threat of damage to

body tissues so that a response may be

made. They can be found in the tooth

pulp and within dentine cavity.
