Answer;

Neutralization of free radicals

Explanation;

-Peroxisomes are small vesicles found around the cell. They have a single membrane that contains digestive enzymes for breaking down toxic materials in the cell. They differ from lysosomes in the type of enzyme they hold. Peroxisomes hold on to enzymes that require oxygen (oxidative enzymes).

-The oxidative enzymes that break down fatty acids and amino acids, resulting in, among other things, the production of the toxic substance, hydrogen peroxide.

klemol [59]

Answer: Kira has difficulty in walking in smooth coordinated manner because she has suffered injury to the cerebellum.

Explanation:

Cerebellum is a part of the brain situated inferior to cerbrum and posterior to pons. It receives sensory information and converts it into motor responses. Motor coordination is when subsequent parts of the same movement, or the movements of several limbs or body parts are combined in a manner that is well timed, smooth, and efficient. Cerebellum coordinates voluntary motor movements resulting in smooth coordinated muscular activities. Injury to cerebellum causes its loss of function which in return causes

1) loss of coordinated movements

2) inability to perform alternate rapid movements

3) movement tremors

4) staggering wide based gait

Which compound completes the equation _____ + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + Energy
frez [133]

Answer:c) glucose

Explanation: The complete balanced chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

The equation above represents cellular respiration. During respiration, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) is broken down in the presence of six molecules of oxygen (O2) to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide (6CO2), six molecules of water (6H2O) and energy (ATP).

Kay [80]

Answer:

1. Part A: No

2. Part B: Yes

3: Part C : Yes

4: Part D : No

Explanation:

1) Part A: Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell:

No; sodium ion co - transport is required for active transport of glucose but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose

2) Part B: Active transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosa:

Yes; co - transport of sodium ions drives the inward movement of amino acids and can only occur if sodium ions are actively pumped back out again.

3) Part C: Uptake of potassium ions by red blood cells:

Yes; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of sodium ions.

4) Part D: Active uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestine

No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a proton gradient.
