It is both surprising and not surprising that the FDA allows chemicals in food on the American market which are banned in Europe.

Explanation:

There a re lot of controversies about the FDA. This agency can be seen as doing great job from one side, and very bad job from other side. One of the things against which the FDA has the biggest backlash is that it allows the usage of some chemicals int he food that are not allowed in Europe for example. Multiple of those chemicals have been proven to have a long term bad effect on the human health. On the other hand, the FDA seems to protect the economic interest of the country (to a certain point), as it enables the food industry to grow.

  • The GMO products are one of the most disputed, especially after it has been proven that some of them can have very bad effects on the mental and physical health of the humans.
  • Also, the FDA has some products prohibited, products that have been proven to be of great benefit when it comes to the human health and fighting with some diseases, such as the apricot kernels.
  • From one perspective, it can be said that the FDA is doing well when it comes to enabling the production of enough food for the whole country. On the other hand, it can be criticized that it is doing very badly when it comes to the protection of the human health.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

pyruvate dehydrogenase is the enzyme which catalysis pyruvate to acetyl Co -A. Thus,it  ensures the formation of link reaction/ bridge reaction for linking glycolysis with Citric acid cycle. Therefore, inhibition of this enzyme, prevent link reaction, and there reduction in pyruvate utilization and therefore prevent the  commencements of Citric acid cycle, with consequent  reduction in glucose oxidation. as there is no  reaction of acetyl Co A (from link reaction from pyruvate )   with 4C oxaloacatate in the kreb Cycle to form Citrate in Kreb's cycle. Thus the heart  depends on fatty acid supply for energy.

Cell growth and cell division are processes that are regulated by specific genes. Mutations in these
andre [41]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's C) Accumulated

Explanation:

Accumulated verb in the dictionary is: past tense: accumulated; past participle: accumulated

So I would think that it does not have anything to do with division of cells, or the process.

I'm sorry if this is not right. I hope it is though.

Have a nice day! Bye :)

Flow Chart What happens to food and energy when it enters the cell? Finish the description for each organelle. Step 1: Mitochond
torisob [31]

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells have specialized mechanisms to transport molecules along with membrane-bound organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum that provide a higher surface area for absorption and enable more efficient transportation.

Their structural components (i.e. their makeup) determine their function (what they do). In specific cell types, collected proteins may function as a unit called an organelle. Some organelles are bound by membranes like those that make up the external structure of the cell, with varying compositions of phospholipids and proteins. Several organelles facilitate the digestion of nutrients into metabolites and energy...

  • Step 1: Mitochondria break down food and release energy; In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes. The higher concentrations of reactants and solutes, increases metabolic reaction efficiency; these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is obtained via the breakdown of nutrients from food, and is stored within the molecule ATP. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate     (through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm) where several metabolites used for building other compounds are produced.
  • Step 2: Lysosomes... Some organelles separate proteins and molecules that may harm the cell by parceling them into membrane-bound organelles for example, proteases bound within lysosomes can break down many structural proteins, and carbohydrates found in food, waste, and cell components
  • Step 3: Vacuoles... Vacuoles are fluid filled organelles which store concentrated amounts of solutes, and waste products. Specialized vacuoles are also used to transport components to the cell membrane for cellular export.
  • Step 4: The endoplasmic reticulum... Most proteins that function in the cytosol (such as actin) or in the nucleus (such as DNA polymerase) are synthesized by free ribosomes. Proteins that function within the endomembrane system (such as lysosomal enzymes) or those that are destined for secretion from the cell (such as insulin) are synthesized by bound ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The rest of the ER, which does not contain ribosomes is called the smooth ER,  and may contain lipids,  enzymes, and other proteins. As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen.
  • Step 5: Golgi bodies... Like a post office, the golgi complex, or golgi body  recognizes signal sequences and packages these compounds into lysosomes for delivery to their final destination. Lysosomes fuse with the plasma membrane to empty their contents into the extracellular space.

What is the energy of a photon first used to do in photosynthesis?
yuradex [85]
The energy from sunlight comes in the form of photons, and this energy is used in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The first function carried out by the photons in energizing electrons in the chlorophyll. The energized electron travels through the electron transport chain and subsequent steps are carried out to utilize this energy to form ATP.
