A. It is easier to break down glucose into its component monosaccharides.

Biology
1 answer:
pentagon [3]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Complete question is

Why would you expect the energy present in the bonds of glucose to be more readily available than the energy from the sugar lactose?

a. It is easier to break down glucose into its component monosaccharides.

b. Glucose has fewer double bonds than lactose, making it easier to break down.

c. Both glucose and lactose are simple sugars; some people, however, have difficulty breaking down lactose.

d. Lactose is a complex carbohydrate and requires a lot of breaking down before the energy can be accessed.

e. Glucose is a simple sugar, and no additional processing is necessary to access the energy in the carbon-hydrogen bonds

Solution -

The structure of glucose is very simple as it is a monosaccharide i.e it has only one sugar molecule. On the other hand the lactose is disaccharide which means it has two sugar molecules. Being a monosaccharide, glucose cannot be further broken down into simple sugar molecules while on the other hand lactose can be broken down into simpler sugars (monosaccharide) by input of energy.  

Thus, glucose is readily available carb based energy resources which can be directly converted into energy or converted into glycogen for storage in cells.

Thus, option E is correct

Some of the drugs used to treat hiv patients are competitive inhibitors of the hiv reverse transcriptase enzyme. unfortunately,
REY [17]
Such changes would occur mostly likely near or in the active binding site of the enzyme.
Because the drugs used are competitive inhibitors of the <span>HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme, it means that they connect directly to the active binding site of this enzyme not allowing it to preform its function. If the mutations impede this drugs to work, it is probably because they alter the active binding site of the enzyme, not allowing the drug to bind and have its competitive behaviour permitting the enzyme to work normally. </span><span /><span>

An individual carries a heterozygote (two diff alleles on same gene) which will be located:
swat32

Answer:

B) On the same place on the same chromosome.

Explanation:

Both alleles are located on the same chromosome and present at the same place because genes come in pair. Each pair of gene is located at a specific place on a chromosome. If the two alleles present at a specific location are similar to each other, it is called homo-zygous while on the other hand, if both alleles are different from one another, they are considered as hetero-zygous.

1. Describe how radio telescopes are used to explore space.
Yuri [45]

Radio telescope picks up the radio spectrum of electromagnetic waves from celestial bodies (just like telescopes like the Hubble pick up visible light – only that radio waves are invisible to our eyes). They are therefore used to detect objects in space that produces radio waves. Examples are quasars and pulsars. Radio telescopes also enable astronomers to be whats beyond gas and dust in space that blocks out most of the visible light spectrum.
