Answer: option B) used for energy

Explanation:

Amino acids are metabolized first by being deaminated (amino group, NH3 removed) leaving a carbon-containing compound as product.

This product then enters the citric acid cycle to yield energy in form of ATP and/or reducing equivalents like NADH, FADH.

A good example is Glutamic acid, that yields α-keto glutarate when the amine group is removed. This α-keto glutarate is directed to the CITRIC ACID CYCLE for ENERGY production.

So, the carbon-containing component of amino acids can be used for energy

If a cell has a diploid number of 8 (2n = 8) before meiosis, how many chromosomes will be in each of the four daughter cells aft
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The final product is four gametes, two of them with 5 chromosomes, and the other two with 3 chromosomes each.

Explanation:

If nondisjunction occurs during meiosis 1, a pair of homologous chromosomes fail to separate, and one of the daughter cells will have the two chromosomes while the other cell will not get any chromosome from the pair.

If meiosis 1 occurs normally, but nondisjunction occurs in meiosis 2, sister chromatids fail to separate.  

The usual process of meiosis produces four daughter haploid cells (n) from a diploid germ cell (2n). Each daughter cell is haploid because they have half the number of chromosomes of the original one.  

If the diploid number of the original cell is 8 (2n=8), then under normal conditions, each haploid daughter cell should have 4 chromosomes (n = 4).  

But in the exposed example, one pair of homologous chromosomes experiences nondisjunction during meiosis I (in the attached file, you will recognize this pair as the red one). The other chromosomes separate as usual. So one of the daughter cells will have one extra chromosome than expected (five instead of four), and the other daughter cell will lack one chromosome (three instead of four). Meiosis II occurs normally. The final result is the formation of four gametes, two of them with 5 chromosomes, and the other two with 3 chromosomes each.

What occurs during cell differentiation?
Archy [21]

Answer: Zygote cells turn into adult STEM cells divide and create differentiated daughter cells.

Explanation: All DNA is in all cells, but different cells are specialized to preform different functions. They still contain all of the DNA, but they only use a small portion of the DNA. This occurs during a process called Gene Expression. Gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a cell functions

What is the life cycle for a goldfish?​
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The life cycle of a goldfish starts out as an egg. The female fish will lay about 25 eggs, but unfortunately only some grow up. The eggs usually hatch within 5 days and if you have a fish tank then you should take the adult fish out or else it may eat the eggs. After the egg hatches, it turns into a fry,(this is what a baby goldfish is called) Once they hatch, they will stay attached to the plants for two days, after that, you should start to feed them. Once they are not fry anymore, they turn into adult goldfish. If you take care of them properly, they could last up to 15 years! Once the fish are complete adults, they can lay eggs. The females rub up against plants and lays eggs while the male Goldfish sprays the eggs to make them fertilize and turn into fry.
