Many of the amino acids are coded for by more than one codon. Examples are:

1. Isoleucine - ATT, ATC and ATA

2. Leucine - CTT,CTC,CTA CTG, TTA and TTG.

3. Valine - GTT, GTC, GTA and GTG.

4. Phenylalanine - TTT and TTC.

5. Cysteine - TGT and TGC

6. Alanine - GCT, GCC and GCG

7. Glycine - GGT, GCC, GGA and GGG.

8. Proline - CCT, CCC, CCA and CCG.

9. Threonine - ACT, ACC, ACA, and ACG.

The act of breathing raises the blood oxygen level, lowers the blood carbon dioxide concentration, and raises the blood pH. Acco

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

A rise in blood carbon dioxide concentration.

Explanation:

The feedback regulation may be defined as the process in which the end product of the metabolic pathway regulates the homeostasis of the body. Two main types of feedback are positive feedback and negative feedback.

The negative feedback mechanism occurs when the end product of the reaction is responsible for the shutdown of the metabolic pathway and decreases its concentration. The breathing is controlled by the negative feedback mechanisms, the increase in carbon dioxide concentration acts as the negative sensor as this sensor is mainly responsible for the increase in amount of oxygen level and maintain homeostasis of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

What are the functions of the larynx and how does it carry out them on a daily basis?

MArishka [77]

The larynx is an nicknamed the "voice box" because it holds the vocal cords inside. It helps change the pitch and volume of our voices as we speak. It is the only part of the body capable of doing this job, so we don't ever want it removed. Our voices would be much more monotone sounding. The larynx connects the pharynx to the trachea in the neck. It is also capable of allowing air through for us to breathe, but does not let anything (food or drink) block the airway. This is obviously a daily function since we eat and drink numerous times daily and usually have no problems breathing while eating and drinking. This is thanks to the larynx.

Hope this helps! :)
