Answer:
Macronutrients: water, fat, carbohydrates, protein
Micronutrients: minerals, vitamins

Explanation:
The six types of nutrients humans need are water, fat, carbohydrates, protein, minerals, and vitamins.

Macronutrients are nutrients we need in large amounts (macro- means big).
Micronutrients are nutrients we need in small amount (micro- means small).

Consider what you eat in a day, you (should) be getting all of these.

It's recommended you have about 8 cups of water a day, which is a large amount.
Fat and carbohydrates are used as sources of energy and are consumed in large amounts.
Proteins (meats, nuts) used to build muscle are also eaten in large amount.

Minerals and vitamins have recommended intakes of milligrams (mg) which is a very small amount. They are found in traces in our food. For example, you would not fill your entire palm with calcium and eat it. You only need small amounts of calcium (probably in your milk).

2. In gluconeogenesis, it takes two enzymes to convert pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate. a. Explain what is happening chemically
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:1. Pyruvate carboxylase

2. Phosphoenol pyruvate carboxy kinase

Explanation:

The conversion of pyruvate to phosphoenol pyruvate is catalyzed by two enzymes Pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenol pyruvate carboxy kinase

1. Pyruvate carboxylase reaction

Pyruvate in the cytoplasm enters the mitochondria. Then, carboxylase of pyruvate to oxaloacetate is catalysed by a mitochondrial enzyme, pyruvate carboxylase. It needs the co-enzymes biotin and ATP.

The oxaloacetate formed has to be transported from the mitochondrial to the cytosol because further reaction of gluconeogenesis are taking place in cytosol.

2. Phoaphoenol pyruvate carboxy kinase (PEPCK)

In the cytoplasm, PEPCK enzyme then converts oxaloacetate to phoaphoenol pyruvate by removing a molecule of CO2. GTP or ITP donates the phosphate group.

The net effect of these two reactions is the conversion of pyruvate to phoaphoenol pyruvate. This circumverts the irreversible step in glycolysis catalyzed by pyruvate kinase (step 9 if glycolysis)

2. Copy/paste and align the first 5 bases of all introns. Which bases are conserved near intron start ("donor site")?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

Introns are non-coding regions of a DNA that removed by RNA splicing prior to translation. Alignment is usually done between sequences to see and understand the identity and similarity between two or more sequences.

A region/base is said to be conserved if there is  NO change in any base in that particular region. A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) can be used to align the donor sites of all the introns to see the bases that have not "changed" (and still remained in there exact position) hence conserved across all the donor sites.

NOTE: The donor site of an intron is the 5' end, thus the first five bases in the 5' end are to be used here
