Biology

Hatshy [7]3 years ago

The plasma levels of fatty acids and ketone bodies increase in starvation, whereas that of glucose decreases. The metabolic changes on the first day of starvation are like those after an overnight fast. The low blood-sugar level leads to decreased secretion of insulin and increased secretion of glucagon.

Chromosomes control cell processes. They do this by____
GarryVolchara [31]

<u>Answer</u>:

Chromosomes control cell processes by coding for the production of all a cell's proteins.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Chromosomes are the complex structures that are made up of DNA and attached histone proteins that stabilize the nucleosome structure. DNA is made up of a sequence of polynucleotides that encodes the genetic information of that organism.

The combination of three nucleotides known as triplet codon provides a unique code for a particular amino acid. After transcription of the DNA sequence into mRNA, it is sent to the cytoplasm of the cell to be translated into a particular protein. There are many proteins in a cell each having different sequence and hence they differ in their folding which give them a particular structure to perform a particular activity. Hence different DNA sequences encode the information for different sequences of amino acid in a polypeptide chain which makes the protein.

It was believed for a long time that Jellyfish were a trophic “dead end” and that no organisms utilized jellyfish as a food sour
Pavlova-9 [17]

In the Irish sea, a lot of different types of water animals eat jellyfish. It would be hard to say that they are on the top when all these animals/fish eat the jellyfish.  Out of 2500 examples of different species the herring had more than 20 percent of jellyfish in them out of 512 that were cut open to see if a jellyfish was in them. In this whole experiment 2500 sea creatures were gutted and the results definitely weren't in the jellyfishes favor. Although the Grey Gurnard, Dab, Sprat, Poor Cod and Squid do not eat much Jelly Fish. The Herring and Dragonet do. I def finitely do not think they are on the top, but they sure do not have that many sea creatures eating them. And you would of thought that the ones that did would be bigger.  I am actually very surprised to see that so many creatures were found with the Jelly Fish inside of them. I also wonder what other creatures eat it that we may not know about yet.
