Until recently, Henry has been very healthy. Alas, Henry recently was prescribed a medicine for a blood clot in his leg, which l

ed to nose bleeds. This would be considered an adverse
reaction to the medicine, so the doctor took him off of it. The doctor tested for blood levels of the drug in a week, and the number was high, indicating that he was not breaking down
the drug properly
Henry was discovered to have a defective enzyme, one that is supposed to break down drugs. The problem would lie in the genetic coding for the enzyme. Where one triplet should be
ATT, Henry's is CTT.
1. What organic category does an enzyme fall into?
2. What does the ATT code for and what does CTT for?
3. What can you deduce about further medications that Henry is prescribed?

Answer:

Explanation:

(1) The defective enzyme, which was suppose to break down drugs, is an oxidoreductase. Since, enzymes that break down drugs or metabolic enzymes perform there functions by oxidizing the drugs.

(2) Both codes are triplet codes for the enzyme; however the normal triplet code ought to be ATT, however there was a point mutation causing the "A" to be "C". These letters represent the bases in the DNA, <u>ATT is adenine-thymine-thymine while CTT is cytosine-thymine-thymine.</u>

(3) Further medications Henry is prescribed could include been taken with a drug/enzyme that will breakdown the actual medication.

Kendra is studying the energy pyramid shown. which statement is supported by the energy pyramid? the ecosystem can support fewer
lara31 [8.8K]

Ecosystem an area where plants, animals, and other organisms, co-ordinate for their living. According to energy pyramid, ecosystem can support fewer foxes than grasshoppers.

<h3>What is energy pyramid?</h3>

Energy pyramid is the flow of energy from one tropic level to another which is always erect.

After each level, 90% energy is lost in environment as heat. There is  loss of energy at each tropic level.

As foxes comes after grasses in energy pyramid, so the ecosystem can support fewer foxes than grasshoppers.

Thus, the correct option is A.
