The given blank can be filled with exergonic reaction.  

An exergonic reaction demonstrates a reaction where energy is discharged. As the reactants lose energy, the Gibbs free energy is negative under constant pressure and temperature.  

An exergonic reaction, as mentioned in the given case and another process like cellular respiration refers to a reaction, which loses energy during the process of the reaction. An exergonic process is one in which there is a positive flow of energy taking place from the system to the surrounding.

The wood in a matchstick is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose molecules. When you light the matchstick, heat and light are given off, indicating that an exothermic reaction is occurring.

There are two types of reactions:

1. Exothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat is liberated. Example, burning of fuel.

2.Endothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat gets absorbed from the surroundings. Example, photosynthesis in plants where the energy of the Sun gets absorbed.

At the end of cytokinesis, how many daughter chromosomes will be found in each cell
trapecia [35]
At the end of cytokinesis there no longer exists chromatids, they are just individual chromosomes.

If you're talking about Meiosis, there are 4 (HAPLOID) daughter cells produced at the end of meiosis. So each daughter cell will have HALF the number of chromosomes as the mother cell.

Whereas at the end of Mitosis there are 2 identical DIPLOID sister cells.

Which of the following is a nucleoside analog commonly used as a reverse transcriptase inhibitor in the treatment of HIV?
Over [174]

Answer:

Azidothymidine

Explanation:

Azidothymidine (AZT) is one of the nucleoside analogs that is used in the treatment of AIDS as it inhibits the process of reverse transcription of HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus).

The HIV replicates by making DNA copies of RNA through the process of reverse transcription. The process is driven by enzyme reverse transcriptase. Azidothymidine (AZT) serves to inhibit the activity of reverse transcriptase enzyme and thereby does not allow HIV to reproduce.

Discuss two benefits of multicellular organisms having some specialized cells rather than all the cells being the same.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer and explanation;

-There are advantages to being multicellular rather than unicellular. These include; allowing the organism to be larger, allowing cell differentiation (having different types of cells with different functions) , and also allowing the organisms to be more complex.

-Complex organisms often have specialized cells that carry out different functions. Having specialized cells and systems allows the process such as transport of nutrients and waste to and from all the cells of the body to occur.
