The correct answer is the last statement.
If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.
It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.
In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
Answer:
The answer is Atom.
Explanation:
The atom is the smallest constituent unit of matter that has the properties of a chemical element and that it is not possible to divide by chemical processes. The atom is formed by a nucleus with protons and neutrons and several orbital electrons (subatomic particles); whose number varies according to the chemical element. Atoms combine to form molecules that then interact to form solids, liquids and gases.
A scientist observes certain changes in the physical features of a particular species over time. She concludes that the species has undergone evolutionary change. She wants to study the animals by analyzing their population. She’ll use() answer choice a. quadrat sampling.
The population of this species is decreasing considerably. If this trend doesn’t change, this species will fall under the category of a. endangered.
