If a cell is producing lactic acid, what molecule is most likely unavailable to that cell

1 answer:

8 0

That would be a lactic acid molecule.

Lactic acid, also known as 2-hydroxypropanoic or milk acid, is a compound formed when glucose is broken down under certain conditions in a living creature or by some types of bacteria. In a person, for example, it is an important part of producing energy for strenuous exercise and helps with certain liver functions. During extremely intense exercise, it can buildup to excess and cause short-term burning sensations in muscles. This acid can also be found in certain dairy products, such as yogurt, as well as sourdough breads and some beers and wines as a result of fermentation.

How does this phenomenon validate the Law of Conservation of Energy?
The light energy travels through the water until it is reflected or absorbed.

Organisms growing on bare rock

What is the best explanation based on these observations?
Lobsters are adapting to cooler temperatures.
- Ideal water temperature for lobster is around 53-64 degrees Fahrenheit. With the exceedingly warm waters (68 degrees Fahrenheit), lobsters are forced to move to the north where the temperature is ideal for their life cycles.

A certain restriction enzyme digest results in DNA fragments of the following sizes: 4,000 bp, 2,500 bp, 2,000 bp, and 400 bp. S

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Smaller the size of the DNA fragment, farther it moves during electrophoresis. The sketch of the position of the fragments has been drawn in the figure below.

Explanation:

As we know DNA is a negatively charged molecule. So during electrophoresis the fragments move towards the positive electrode because opposite charges attract each other.

Different fragment move different distances according to their size during the electrophoresis. Smallest segment travels the largest distance in the gel medium while the largest one travels least distance.

In the question there are four DNA fragments with base pairs 4000, 2500, 2000 and 400 so the smallest segment with 400bp will be farthest from the starting point and the largest fragment with 4000bp will travel least distance in the gel medium. Their respective positions are shown in the figure below. The starting point is near the negative electrode.

Answer:

SS,or Ss

Explanation:

If the alleles for short tail length is ss then it would be opposite for long tail length such as SS and if the long gene is in front then it will have the long alleles such as Ss
