TPMT enzyme stands for Thiopurine methyltransferase<span> or </span><span>thiopurine S-methyltransferase. It is an enzyme that metabolizes thiopurine drugs. 

Patients with the lowest level of the tpmt enzyme has the greatest number of side effects when exposed to a drug containing a thiopurine because it can't totally metabolize the thiopurine drug and there are more excess thiopurine in the body than normal. </span>

Would you expect the stomata of a desert cactus or the stomata of a water lily plant to close during the day?
BartSMP [9]
A water lily will have more stomata. A desert cactus will have very few stomata, because in deserts plants face water shortage so in order to avoid loss of water cacti have adapted to the desert environment by possessing few stomata.

Which of the statements are true? Fats that contain more saturated fatty acid residues than unsaturated fatty acid residues are
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The best answers to the question: Which of the statements are true? Would be the following:

1. Fats that contain more saturated fatty acid residues than unsaturated fatty acid residues are more likely to be solid at room temperature.

3. Unsaturated fats are more likely than saturated fats to be liquid at room temperature.

5. Triacylglycerols (tryglicerides) are composed of fatty acid residues and glycerol.

Explanation:

The options chosen from the five options are all characteristics of triglycerides. These molecules, which are pretty complex, have all of the options above except for 2 and 4 because these molecules, especially unsaturated fats do not have a high melting point, that is why they remain liquid at room temperature. So that option is wrong. Also, although tryglicerides do have carboxyl groups, chemically speaking they are better categorized as esters.
