The chemical process that is happening is called fermentation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Grapes contain a lot of carbohydrates, specially maltose. Maltose is a disaccharide, composed of two molecules of glucose. This maltose, when acted upon by yeast produces ethanol. The process going in is called fermentation. Here one molecule of glucose undergoes the process of glycolysis which leads to formation of two molecules of pyruvate.

These pyruvates are acted upon by alcohol dehydrogenase to form two molecules of ethanol and two molecules of carbon dioxide. Thus we can see bubbles coming out of the solution. Yeasts die as the alcohol concentration reaches around 13 to 14% v/v.

Which of the following is NOT a mechanism used to temporally regulate the activity of maturation-promoting factor (MPF)?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

C. glycosylation

Explanation:

The maturation-promoting factor (MPF) is a cell cycle checkpoint that stimulates the passage from G2 (prophase) to M phase (metaphase). MPF also determines that DNA replication during the S (synthesis) phase did not produce any mutations. MPF is inactivated by kinase phosphorylation and activated by specific phosphatases capable of dephosphorylating this protein. On the other hand, glycosylation is a posttranslational modification where a carbohydrate (i.e., a glycan) is added to a functional group of another molecule. Many proteins undergo glycosylation, thereby playing a critical role in regulating protein function.

How does the structure of abone make it strong yet lightweight?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:the component materials and their arrangement

Explanation:

Bone are important for movement in animals.bones is made up of 15% water,30% collagen fibres and 55% mineral salts..bone cells are widely separated. The Collagen makes bones soft and flexible. Mineral salts makes it fragile and strong.

The osteogenic cells builds the bones and the osteoclasts breaks down older bone tissue, in order to keep the body strong.

Spongy bones contains tiny spicules that helps in strength.

It also reduces the weight of the bones .

The cells of Compact bones are arranged in the direction of stress to keep the bone strong.

They are constantly changing throughout life
