Explanation: “The process or action by which one thing absorbs or is absorbed by another.”
In this case, matter and energy is absorbed.
I think it might be C I am not 100% sure though
Answer:
The given blank can be filled with minimum viable population.
Explanation:
The MVP or the minimum viable population refers to the lowest number of individuals or the minimum density of the population of a species that can thrive in a specific region. The term is generally used in the fields of ecology, biology, and conservation biology.
The minimum viable population refers to the smallest probable size at which the population can prevail without encountering extinction due to demographic or natural disasters, genetic, or environmental stochasticity. Generally, MVP is utilized to signify towards a wild population, however, it can also be utilized for ex-situ conservation.
Answer:
Explanation:
Normally, under anaerobic condition in yeast, pyruvate produced from glycolysis leads to the production of ethanol as shown below.
pyruvate ⇒ acetaldehyde + NADH ⇒ ethanol + NAD
The pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme, pyruvate decarboxylase. It should be NOTED that carbon dioxide is released in this step. The acetaldehyde produced in the "first step" is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It must be noted from the above that the steps are irreversible.
If a mutated strain of yeast is unique because it does not produce alcohol and lactic acid (which is referred to as toxic acid in the question); thus having a high level of pyruvate because of the presence of a novel enzyme. <u>The function of this novel enzyme will most likely be the conversion of acetaldehyde in the presence of carbondioxide back to pyruvate; thus making that step reversible</u>. This could be a possible explanation for the high level of pyruvate present in the yeast.
