The brain region identified lighting up during an fMRI scan in a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder is the anterior cingulate cortex. The anterior cingulate cortex is part of the limbic system and is responsible for the emotion formation, memory, processing, compulsions and obsessions, and others.
Basically it involves translations:
Once you have your mRNA (which now only has exons) it then binds with rRNA (ribosomal RNA)
It reads a start codon, and then the tRNA reads a complimentary anticodon which codes for a specific amino acid.
Essentially the amino acids then interact elongate, and then you have a long chain of amino acids (primary structure of a protein)
Then there is a lot of folding, di-sulfide bridges and other interaction that then make the amino acids into a protein like haemoglobin (red blood cell)
The correct answer is glycolysis.
Glycolysis is an anaerobic process of splitting a molecule of glucose (6 carbons) to 2 molecules of pyruvate (3 carbons each). Glycolysis does not require the presence of oxygen and will still produce energy, albeit lower than aerobic metabolism. In the absence of oxygen, fermentation can occur wherein pyruvate is further converted into lactate.
