It contains the renal corpuscles and the renal tubules except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla. It also contains blood vessels and cortical collecting ducts. The renal cortex is the part of the kidney where ultrafiltration occurs.

perspective that our genes and environmental influences work together to determine our characteristics
topjm [15]

Environmental factors often influence traits independently of genes. Either of these effects can change the proteins that are made from a gene, which in turn affects traits.

How do environment and gene determine our personality?

Some genes increase the characteristic and others work to decrease the same characteristic-complex relationship among the various genes, as well as a variety of random factors, produce the final outcome.

Because of their genetic makeup, individuals differ in their responsiveness to the qualities of the environment. There are unique, genetically influenced reactions to particular experiences to which we are exposed.

The presence of drugs and chemicals in an organism's environment can also influence gene expression in the organism. The environment can affect morphological and physiological development whereas genes influence morphology and physiology, creating a framework within which the environment acts to shape the behavior of an individual.

Hence in this way, genes and environmental influences work together to determine our characteristics.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The glucose conversion to PYRUVATE opens anaerobic and aerobic metabolic pathways. VITAMIN B NIACIN in its role as a coenzyme during glycolysis, escorts hydrogen and electrons to the electron transport chain and the TCA cycle. In the Cori cycle, the release of energy from ATP converts lactate to glucose and returns the glucose molecule to the muscles through the process of Anaerobic Glycolysis.

Explanation:

In metabolism, glycolysis is defined as the splitting of the glucose molecule to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. It is the first main metabolic pathway in cellular respiration for the production of energy in form of ATP(Adenosine triphosphate).

In most cells, cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen. This is known as AEROBIC RESPIRATION which produces the largest number of ATP. Energy can also be gotten by breaking down of glucose in the complete absence of oxygen. This is known as ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION.

The next stage in the degradation of glucose is a two step conversion of the two pyruvic acid molecules from glycolysis into two molecules of acetyl coenzyme A( acetyl - CoA). This occurs in the TCA( tricarboxylic acid) or Krebs cycle.

VITAMIN B NIACIN in its role as a coenzyme during glycolysis, escorts hydrogen and electrons to the electron transport chain and the TCA cycle. Coenzyme A is a derivative of vitamin B which combines with pyruvic acid to form acetyl CoA , 2 molecules of carbon dioxide and 4 molecules of hydrogen in TCA cycle.

In Cori Cycle, (which is also called Lactic acid cycle), energy released from ATP is used to convert lactate to glucose. This is to prevent increased lactic acid in the blood during anaerobic conditions in the muscles.
