The predominant hypothesis for why the animals needed some 3 billion years to evolve after the life first appeared on the planet is that the conditions were not right for them to appear.
The life on Earth has appeared much earlier that what we normally assume, and also it has not been evolving very quickly, but instead it has been a very slow and gradual process. The reason for that is that the living conditions on the Earth were much different than what are they now, or anytime from the Cambrian period until the present.
The surface was still pretty hot, and there was intense volcanic activity. The composition of the atmosphere was not suitable for animals to appear at all, and in fact it would have been toxic for them. The water too had chemicals in it that were not providing the right conditions for animals to evolve. It was only after the plants started to appear and managed to make lot of changes in the water, atmosphere, and land, than the animals were able to evolve and develop.
A mutation that results in a change in one amino acid is called a MISSENSE mutation. I hope this helped!
Answer:
This question lacks options, options are: a. beta-D-fructofuranose b. amylose c. uronic acid d. N- acetylglucosamine. The correct answers are c and d.
Explanation:
Glycosaminoglycans are very long, unbranched polysaccharides, made up of repeating units of disaccharides. One of the disaccharides is always an amino sugar, which can be N- acetylglucosamine. The other is uronic acid (it can be iduronic acid or glucuronic acid and is often sulfated at position 2). The amino sugar is usually sulfated and the rest of the sugars have carboxyl groups, which give the structure a negative charge, which attracts a large amount of cations such as sodium. Glycosaminoglycans are often covalently bound to proteins to form proteoglycans. Hyaluronic acid is the only glycosaminoglycan that does not form protein bonds and does not have sulfate groups in its structure.
Answer:
NAD+ and FAD+
Explanation:
NAD+ and FAD+ are the electron acceptors in the breakdown pathways. As NADH and FADH2, these carriers transport high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain where the electrons power the production of ATP.
Answer:orlistat blocks chemical digestion of lipids and therefore their absorption, leading to weight loss.
Explanation:
Orlistat works by preventing pancreatic intestinal lipase, thus blocks chemical digestion of lipids, and therefore their absorption, thereby, decreasing the amount of dietary fat, that the body absorbs, which could potentially lead to weight loss. Thus, orlistat can serve as an an
