That would be serum phenylalanine test.

This test  is a blood test to look for signs of the disease phenylketonuria-PKU (characterized by abnormally high levels of an amino acid phenylalanine). It is done to screen newborns, because if PKU is not detected early, increasing phenylalanine levels will cause intellectual disability.

A farmer in Minnesota plants some tomato seeds in early spring. She plants them outdoors in soil and adds water every day. A few
Temka [501]

Answer:

Other factors could affect the reason the seed didn't germinate because under suitable conditions depending on the variety it should germinate within 5 to 10 days from planting. However, the most likely reason it didn't germinate must be the Temperature.

Explanation:

From the question above, the farmer lives in Minnesota and she planted between March and May, meaning the temperature was way cold which is not suitable for tomato. One other valuable point was she planting outdoor which could also affect the performance of the tomato seedlings. Planting in early spring doesn't necessarily mean bad as some seeds might thrive under conditions explained above. For tomato, depending on temperature because too high temperatures could also affect the viability of the seeds. In Minnesota in early spring, it would have been better if she planted indoors to raise the temperature before transplanting as a balanced night temperature is also important for the seed viability.

Some other factors to be considered for seeds to germinate:

1. Water

2. Type of the soil

3. Seed depth in the soil

4. Nature of seed coat

5. Oxygen

6. Light

At first glance, fermentation of pyruvate to lactate appears to be an optional add-on reaction to glycolysis. After all, could c
Serhud [2]

Answer:

No, glycolysis can not be continued without fermentation in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

In the absence of oxygen, cells perform fermentation to oxidize NADH into NAD+. NAD+ is required during the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate into 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate. Fermentation reduces pyruvate and oxidizes NADH so that the NAD+ supply is continued to ensure continuity of glycolysis.

If fermentation does not occur under anaerobic conditions, cells will accumulate pyruvate and NADH. Glycolysis could not be continued in the absence of NAD+.
