Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are two components of efferent/motor nervous system.

1.Autonomic Nervous System

It innervates the smooth muscles, glands and cardiac muscles and is under involuntary control. ANS is further divided into Sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system.

It is composed of preganglionic neurons and postganglionic neurons. The axons of preganglionic neurons synapse on the cell bodies of postganglionic neurons.

Autonomic ganglia of sympathetic nervous system form the paravertebral ganglia (long chains on either side of spinal cord) and autonomic ganglia of parasympathetic nervous system are located close to the organ which the fibers innervate.

2. Somatic Nervous system

It is responsible for voluntary control of skeletal muscles and is composed of motor nerve and the innervated muscle.

The total degradation of a fatty acid with an odd number of carbons yields acetyl-CoA and another compound, X. Show the structur

Brrunno [24]

Answer: X is propionyl-CoA, CH3CH2C0CoA

The structure and reaction pathway are shown in the attachments.

Explanation: In the oxidation of odd-number fatty acids, the substrate for the last pass through beta-oxidation is fatty acyl-CoA with a five-carbon fatty acid. This is oxidized and cleaved to acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle while the propionyl-CoA is converted in three enzymatic steps to succinyl-CoA which can then enter the citric acid cycle.

Step 1: Conversion of propionyl-CoA to D-methylmalonyl-CoA

Propionyl-CoA is carboxylated to D-methylmalonyl-CoA by the enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase, which contains the cofactor biotin. A molecule of ATP and Carbon (iv) oxide (in the form of hydrogen carbonate ion) is required also.

Step 2: Epimerization of D-methylmalonyl-CoA

D-methylmalonyl-CoA is epimerized by the enzyme methylmalonyl-Co epimerase to its L stereoisomer, L-methylmalonyl-CoA.

Step 3: Conversion of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA

This reaction is catalysed by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase which requires the coenzyme B12.

-------- are used to make corn and wheat grow taller

jenyasd209 [6]

The answer is; B

This hormone cases growth at internodes. Elongation at these points causes the plant to grow taller because of the long spaces between the stem nodes. The hormones are produced at meristems of apical buds and roots of plants. It is named after a fungus that infects plants causing them to grow too tall and fall over.

Auxins promote apical growth while cytokinins delay senescence in plants.
