A significant use of triglycerides in the body is triglycerides can be used to break down both carbohydrates and proteins trigly

cerides can be made into insoluble fibers because they cannot be broken down by enzymes in our body triglycerides are the most high concentrated form of chemical energy triglycerides can be converted into carbohydrates and proteins as needed.true/false

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

  • The chemical structure of triglycerides includes:
  1. A glycerol molecule attached with ester bonds to,
  2. Three fatty acid chains.
  • Among all the bio-molecules available in the cells, triglycerides store the maximum energy, due to the presence of long carbon chains with single (saturated) or double/triple (unsaturated) bonds.
  • One gram of triglyceride can store about 38 kJ of energy which is double the amount that can be stored in carbohydrates.
  • During metabolism, these molecules are hydrolysed by enzymes called lipases, those are secreted by the pancreas, into fatty acids, mono- and di-glycerides, by the process of lipolysis.
  • Bile in the intestine further promotes the action of lipases.
  • These digested components are absorbed into the duodenum through the enterocyte cells where they associate with proteins and cholesterol to form chylomicrons.
  • These chylomicrons are released into the lymphatic system and from there cells of various organs can absorb them for storage or hydrolysis.
  • The triglycerides are used in the cells for energy by hydrolysing them using cell specific lipases to fatty acid and glycerol.
  • The glycerol is used to produce glucose and the fatty acids are further hydrolysed or converted to ketone from which amino acids can be formed.

What is the effect on transcription of the structural and regulatory genes of the lac operon when lactose is present in the envi
vova2212 [387]

In the lac operon, glucose also plays an important role along with lactose. When Lactose is present in the environment along with glucose then it cannot deactivate the regulator gene [repressor], as a result, the repressor will bind to the operator and the transcription will be blocked.

When Lactose is present in the environment without glucose then the Catabolite repressor protein will bind to the CAP Site, and lactose will bind to the repressor [regulatory gene product], as a result, the repressor gets deactivated and the transcription takes place.

Lac operon: It is a set of three structural genes z, y, and a which are all transcribed and regulated under one single promoter. The three genes code for β-galactosidase, lactose permease, and transacetylase respectively.

β-galactosidase is responsible for breaking the lactose into glucose and galactose, lactose permease is responsible for transporting lactose across the cell membrane and transacetylase attaches a particular chemical group to target molecules.

Alja [10]

Answer:

She will add color dye to antibodies, and the antibodies will attach to the antigen of the pathogen.

Explanation:

Immunostaining is the process where the antibodies for a specific pathological antigen is combined with fluorescent dye or any other indicator, like enzyme. Fluorescein are common staining materials used because it is easily detectable under UV light. This antibody coated with indicator thus bind to the specific pathogen or protein and help in its identification. Also the pathogenic cell fixation is done to facilitates clear and precise identification.
