The Digestive System
Allisa [31]4 years ago

Answer:

Digestive System

Explanation:

The digestion process begins in the mouth, where food is reduced to smaller particles by chewing and the action of salivary enzymes.

In the stomach, food particles are further reduced due to the action of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and protein-breaking enzymes.

After that, the food goes to the small intestine, where it acts the bile (from the liver) that reduces the fat particles, as well as enzymes that finish the breakdown of proteins and carbohydrates.  The <u>nutrients</u> are then absorbed and transported to the bloodstream.

Finally, the rest of the food reaches the large intestine, which absorbs water and forms the feces that will be excreted.

Body Type: DNA code- AGTGCCTTC RNA code- ___________ Amino Acid sequence (aka protein)- ___________________ Body Type?- ________
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

  • mRNA sequence - UCACGGAAG,
  • amino acid sequence - Ser-Arg-Lys, and
  • body type - dwarf

By central dogma, we know that nucleotide sequence of deoxyribonuceic acid (DNA) form the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain.

Nucleotide sequence of DNA is first decoded in the form of nucleotide sequence of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) under the process of transcription. The sequence of RNA is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of template strand of DNA. In addition, uracil is present in RNA in place of thymine.

tRNA (transfer RNA) then deciphers the codon sequence of mRNA into amino acid sequence of polypeptide sequence by the process of translation.

Now, given DNA sequence is AGTGCCTTC.

so, the mRNA sequence would be UCACGGAAG.

Codon sequence is UCA CGG AAG.

So, the amino acid sequence would be Ser-Arg-Lys.

Hence, the trait of showman performer would be dwarfism.

Codon sequence chart is attached for reference.

22) moves using an undulating membrane connected to a flagellum
Marrrta [24]

The answer is “Trypanosoma”. The word “Trypanosoma” comes from the Greek words trypanon and soma, which means auger and body, or auger body. A Trypanosoma moves through an undulating membrane connected to a flagellum. Trypanosoma comes from a genus of kinetoplastids, it is known to be a monophyletic cluster of single-celled parasitic flagellate protozoa.

1. Compare and contrast ATP and NADH.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Glycolysis produces 4 ATP molecules, giving it a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. The four high energy electrons that are removed by glycolysis are picked by an electron carrier called NAD. NAD becomes NADH.As it spins it grabs an ADP molecule and attaches a phosphate, forming high energy ATP.

Explanation:

Both NADPH and ATP are phosphorylated compounds, both are very important catabolic as well as anabolic processes. To explain the difference, their respective functions/roles in biochemical processes should be described along with relevant chemical properties.

ATP (Adenosine triphospahte) is called an energy rich molecule because of the large negative free energy of its hydrolysis (And has nothing to do with high bond energy).

30.5 kilo Joules or 7.3 kilo calorie energy is liberated after hydrolysis of one ATP molecule to form ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate.The reaction is almost irreversible

How do atoms become the complex structures and substances around us
stich3 [128]
Atoms bound together and form molecules. Molecules are a little more complex than atoms. For example water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom which are both gases. Properties of oxygen and hydrogen are completely different than water molecules.
