In regard to the human as well as the cat differences in regard to the structures in the mouth specifically the tongue, the human papillae have blunted,less numerous as well as softer while cat has many papillae, sharp and bristly filiform. For the teeth,cat have 3 incisors while humans have two.

Answer: Human and Can have similar structure of the mouth and throat with little differences

Explanation:

The structure of the human mouth are the

1) Teeth: They tear and grind food taken in into small pieces that are suitable for digestion

2) Tongue: They are responsible for positioning and mixing of food and also carry sensory receptors for taste

3) Palete: They help to separates the mouth from the nasal cavity, allowing separate passages for air and for food.

WHILE

The structure of the cat's mouth consist of

1) The tongue: This is an elongated muscular organ covered on the surface withs PAPILLAE. These papillae contain tiny holes or pores that lead to taste buds. The bulk of the tongue consists of muscle bundles mixed with connective (strong/tough) and adipose (fat) tissue. It has many blood vessels and bleeds profusely when lacerated. The tongue is surrounded by the openings of the ducts of the salivary glands, which pour their secretions (saliva) into the oral cavity.

2) Teeth

Cats have two sets of teeth:

1) Deciduous teeth(may be called temporary teeth)

2)The adult teeth: They are larger than the deciduous teeth. Each teeth consists of four types of tissue which includes pulp, dentin, enamel and cementum.

Other structures of the cat's mouth includes upper and lower jaw, cheeks and glands.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: unfavourable ph condition for the pepsin

Explanation: during digestion, enzymes are needed to aid the process.digestive enzymes are biological catalyst that breakdown large food particles into digestible form .

As biological catalyst, enzymes require an optimum temperature and pH condition.outside this temperature or pH,the enzyme is denatured.

In the stomach, hydrochloric acid is required to convert pepsinogen into it's active form,pepsin.the acid also creates an optimum low pH that pepsin needs to function.

As the food moves to the small intestine,the pH is alkaline and is unfavourable for pepsin to function.

Explain the cellular functions that occur when antibiotics attack a bacteria cell.
Alex73 [517]
That would be A.

Most antibiotics that are used for gram positive bacteria target the peptidoglycan cell wall, but the ones for gram negative bacteria are more advanced and specific and target the cell membrane and alter the cell’s function(processes of proteins and dna/gene expression).

Answer:

A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).

Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.

Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism

kumpel [21]

Answer: carbon dioxide and water are combined in a series of reactions, sunligh provides energy for the reactions, the end result of photosynthesis is the production of sugars (glucose, a food) and oxygen (a gas)

Explanation: organisms use both oxygen to turn glucose into carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP.
