Alternative to glucose based cellular respiration

Biology
1 answer:
Lady bird [3.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Cellular respiration is defined as a metabolic reaction occurs in cells, in which chemical energy from glucose is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The alternative to glucose based cellular respiration is fermentation in which energy is produced from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as glucose from within a cell as "electron acceptors".

What is the relationship between Microvilli of gut, epithelium, glucose, circulatory system, capillary fenestrations, glucose/AT
skad [1K]

The small intestine comprises of an external layer called epithelium, from which originates microvilli that are the extensions of the small intestine, which projects in the form of tubes and their prime activity is to give a large surface area of absorption to obtain the majority of nutrients.  

The nutrients obtained by the microvilli are included into the circulatory system, the prime activity of the circulatory system is to carry different constituents like amino acids, glucose, proteins, and other complex components like oxygen and hormones. It also helps in the conduction of various metabolic wastes discharged from the tissues.  

The circulatory system comprises many kinds of capillaries, the most essential of which are arterial capillaries, venous capillaries, and fenestrated capillaries. The fenestrated capillaries are characterized by the pores present in the endothelial cells, which permits small molecules and restricted concentrations of proteins to pass through.  

The most essential nutrient carried during the whole process is glucose. It has been considered as the prime source of energy, which is further hydrolyzed to produce two molecules of ATP. The ATP is known as the energy currency of the cell as it provides energy for different cellular and metabolic procedures essential for life.

In the late 1920s a mutation occured in many silver fox farms around the world. these farms that sold expensive furs were proud
natima [27]

Answer:

In a homozygous state, the allele "P" is lethal. Those individuals with PP genotype will be born dead.

Explanation:

The allele P is dominant over p and expresses the trait "platinum". But in the homozygous state, it is mortal, PP.  The allele p expresses the "Silver" trait.

This is:

  • For platinum individuals, the genotype  should be Pp
  • For silver individuals, the genotype should be pp
  • For dead individuals, the genotype should be PP.

So in the crosses, the punnet squares are:

1- Silver x Silver

     Parental)          pp     x     pp

     Gametes)       p    p         p   p

     Punnet square)    

                                      p             p

                              p     pp           pp

                              p     pp           pp

     

       F1 Genotype) 100 % recessive homozygote pp

2-  Silver x Platinum

     Parental)          pp     x     Pp

     Gametes)       p    p         P   p

     Punnet square)    

                                       p             p

                              P     Pp           Pp

                              p    pp           pp

     

       F1 Genotype) 50 % recessive homozygote pp,

                              50% heterozygote for the trait Pp

3- Platinum x Platinum

     Parental)          Pp     x     Pp

     Gametes)       P    p        P   p

     Punnet square)    

                                       P             p

                              P     PP           Pp

                              p     Pp           pp

     

       F1 Genotype) 25 % recessive homozygote pp

                              50% heterozygote for the trait Pp

                              25% dominant homozygote PP. This is a dead          

                                   individual.

In this last cross, individuals with genotype PP dye, so, of the whole offspring, there are two platinum for each silver offspring.

Describe how cancer cells are different from other cells. Based on that, explain why cancer is so hard to cure.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Cancer cells are cells that basically bypass any sort of regulatory processes in the cell cycle (and mitosis - the splitting of the cell). This leads to uncontrollable cell growth/duplication which hence leads to more and more cancerous cells. Cancer itself is so hard to cure for a couple of different reasons. If the cells are in the form of a benign tumor, that is a tumor that does not spread from its original infected tissue, it should be "easy" to remove with surgery. However, if it metastasizes, or spreads into surrounding tissues through the lymph or blood systems, then it becomes even harder to remove because of its far reach and complex structure. Also, cancer cells can be simply described as normal body cells that have gone rogue. That being said, things such as antibiotics, that are designed to get rid of foreign bodies, cannot get rid of cancerous cells without getting rid of most of your regular body cells as well simply because they cannot tell the difference.

Hope this helps :)
