Answer:

The property of some metabolic pathways that enables them to serve multiple functions in the breakdown, synthesis, and conversion of metabolites is known as <u>amphibolism</u>.

Explanation:

Amphibolism are all intermediate reactions, where catabolism meets anabolism. Catabolism are the "degradation" reactions, that is, starting from large complex molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins) from food or from reservoirs, simple molecules are produced (lactic acid, CO2, NH3...) intermediates of numerous metabolic reactions (metabolites). These reactions yield energy in the form of ATP. On the other hand, anabolism is the set of metabolic reactions in which more complex molecules are synthesized from simple compounds. These reactions consume the energy contributed by the ATP generated in catabolism. Amphibolism or intermediate metabolism, is the set of reactions in which the hydrolysis products of catabolism and some nutrients are transformed into organic acids, phosphoric esters and other compounds as amino acids, that is, both processes of degradation (breakdown) and synthesis of molecules are presented, there is a mutual regulation.

Answer:

The property of some metabolic pathways that enables them to serve multiple functions in the breakdown, synthesis, and conversion of metabolites is known as <u>amphibolism.</u>

Explanation:

Amphibolic pathways are the biochemical pathways which have both catabolic (breakdown ,conversion to metabolites)  and anabolic functions (synthesis)

<u>For example:</u>  

  • Pentose Phosphate Pathway
  • TCA cycle
  • Embden-Meyerhof pathway

A ship is at anchor. Over its side hangs a rope ladder with rungs a foot apart. The
Triss [41]

Answer:

At the end of 6 hours, 6 feet of the ladder remained above water

Explanation:

we are given the following:

change in tide = 8 inches per hour

1 hour = 8 inches

∴ 6 hours = 8 × 6 = 48 inches

Now, since the length of the ladder is measured in foot, let us convert the rate of tide rising to foot.

12 inches = 1 foot

dividing both sides by 12:

1\ inch=\frac{1}{12}\ feet\\ \therefore 48\ inches\ =\ 48\ \times \frac{1}{12}\\ =\frac{48}{12}\\ = 2 feet

Therefore, after 6 hours, the tide rises by 2 feet.

Next, we are told that the rope ladder at the beginning was 8 feet, hence the length remaining above water after 6 hours of the rising of the tide is calculated as follows:

= 8 feet above water

height of tide = 2 feet = amount submerged in water

∴ length above water = (ladder before rising of the tide) - (amount submerged in water)

length above water = 8 - 2 = 6 feet

Therefore at the end of 6 hours, 6 feet of the ladder remained above water

A mutagen is
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: The correct answer is-

an agent that causes a mutation in DNA.

Mutagen is an agent or a substance that causes permanent change in the genetic material of living organisms ( DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid). This process is called mutation.

A mutagen can be a chemical, physical or biological agent that causes mutation in the DNA.

Example- Physical agents such as -

  • Ionizing radiations like alpha particles, gamma rays,  X-rays that brings break in the DNA and cause other damages.
  • Ultraviolet radiations that creates pyrimidine dimers ( T=T) and causes replication errors if damage is not repaired.
