Choices are: -Apoptosis,-Mitosis,-Glycogenesis,-Meiosis

The answer is: Meiosis

Meiosis is the one which produces gametes. (In this process, diploid cells are chopped and turned into four haploid cells (ova or sperm cells). In humans, the male gamete is termed as sperm, while the female gamete, an egg. Meiosis is critical in both sperm and egg production.

Why is it important to have MET at the beginning of mRNA?

astra-53 [7]

The Beginning of mRNA Is Not Translated
Interestingly, not all regions of an mRNA molecule correspond to particular amino acids. In particular, there is an area near the 5' end of the molecule that is known as the untranslated region (UTR) or leader sequence. This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein (Figure 3).

So, what is the purpose of the UTR? It turns out that the leader sequence is important because it contains a ribosome-binding site. In bacteria, this site is known as the Shine-Dalgarno box (AGGAGG), after scientists John Shine and Lynn Dalgarno, who first characterized it. A similar site in vertebrates was characterized by Marilyn Kozak and is thus known as the Kozak box. In bacterial mRNA, the 5' UTR is normally short; in human mRNA, the median length of the 5' UTR is about 170 nucleotides. If the leader is long, it may contain regulatory sequences, including binding sites for proteins, that can affect the stability of the mRNA or the efficiency of its translation.

Umami taste receptors are capable of detecting _________ ______ in acidic foods and substances.

yarga [219]

Answer:

Amino acids and glutamates

Explanation:

Umami taste receptors or savory taste receptor is the fifth basic taste receptor derived its name from the Japanese name for the fifth basic taste (which includes bitter, sweet, salty and sour tastes).

Umami is savory taste which includes the features of cooked meat as well as broth.

Umami taste receptors detects glutamates present in fermented food and meat broth. These receptors are also capable of detecting monosodium glutamate, GMP and IMP in meats, cheese, etc.

On a backpacking trip, Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace, covering 30 kilometers and burning 4000 Calories. At the school tra

olganol [36]

Answer:

A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."

C. After about 90 seconds of intense exercise, the muscles become depleted of oxygen, and anaerobic respiration can no longer function to produce ATP, resulting in "oxygen debt."

Explanation:

There are two sources of carbohydrates in the human's body for energy (ATP) production. 1) Creatine phosphate and 2) Glycogen. Creatine phosphate metabolizes easily and yields ATP quickly. Whereas glycogen is stored form of carbohydrate which yields energy more slowly. Therefore, initially, our bodies use creatine phosphate and then shift to glycogen. Within 60-90 seconds, the creatinine phosphate in the body is mostly utilized and then energy is produced by the use of glycogen in aerobic pathway. During areobic pathway, oxygen supply is sufficient and per cycle, it produces 32 molecules of ATP. However, when oxygen supply is limited or absent, the body will metabolize glycogen to lactic acid via fermentation and produce only 2 molecules of ATP.

Now consider the example: Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace therefore the supply of oxygen is sufficient for aerobic cellular respiration for ATP production. In this scenario, the oxygen debt is minimal and Kenny relies on aerobic respiration pathway to obtain energy. On the other hand, Janelle runs fast (100 meters in 13.5 seconds) and her cellular respiration would be on the compense of aerobic pathway initially which will be shifted to anaerobic pathway after the supply of oxygen is reduced/minimum. Janelle will heavily rely on the anaerobic pathway because running fast needs energy which cannot be provided via aerobic pathway easily. Therefore, Janelle's body will produce lactic acid and suffer from oxygen debt.

When do bacteria need genetic information?

e-lub [12.9K]

Bacteria have either DNA or RNA as genetic material. This genetic material must be able to replicate efficiently and accurately in order to make sure that offspring inherit the same genotype as the parent organism. This is possible because of genetic information.
