Answer:

The 5' and 3' polarity restriction

Explanation:

Discontinuous replication is when synthesis of new DNA molecule takes place as a series of short fragments that will subsequently be joined together.

These fragments are called the Okazaki fragments.

DNA synthesis takes place from 3' to 5' end. However due to 5' and 3' polarity. The replication has to be discontinuous due to the synthesis happening backwards and okazaki fragments being formed.

Answer:

ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = - 273.64 kJmol-1

Explanation:

ΔG°' for Citrate is +6.64 kJmol-1

ΔG°' for Isocitrate is -267 kJmol-1

ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = ΔG°' for product - ΔG°' for reactant

ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = -267 kJmol-1 - (+6.64 kJmol-1)

ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = - 273.64 kJmol-1

What two body systems play a role in maintaining blood sugar homeostasis? Choose all that apply. *

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Liver and Pancreas

Explanation:

Liver and Pancreas play an important role in maintaining blood sugar homeostasis

The pancreas has cells called Islets of Langerhans which release insulin and glucagon which are responsible for maintaining blood sugar levels.

Liver too plays an important role in the regulation of blood sugar levels by releasing glucose in response to glucagon.
