Glucose is virtually the sole fuel for the human brain, except during prolonged starvation. The brain lacks fuel stores, thus requires a continuous supply of glucose. It consumes about 120 g daily which corresponds to an energy input of 420 kcal (1760 KJ), accounting for some 60% of the utilization of glucose by the whole body in the resting state.

TRUE OR FALSE<br><br> Both animal and plant cells use cellular respiration to make energy.
Radda [10]

Answer:

It's responsible for cellular respiration in both plants and animal cells. The difference is that plants also have chloroplasts that perform photosynthesis. Animals get their energy by eating food, digesting it, and turning it into the base sugars, proteins, and lipids that the cells can burn to perform cellular respiration (which makes ATP).

qaws [65]

The restriction endonuclease EcoRI cleaves the DNA sequence 5'-GAATTC-3' in such a way as to leave a 5' overhang, which is often referred to as a "sticky end". To 5' overhang with the complementary sequence this sticky end adhere.

  • The palindrome EcoRI restriction site breaks DNA after G and creates sticky ends with AATT. G/corresponding AATTC's DNA sequence is CTTAA/G, where "/" designates the location of the peptide bond break.
  • When the ssDNA sequence 5'-GAATTC'-3 is recognised by the restriction endonuclease EcoRI, a single-strand cut is made between the G and A nucleotides.
  • At the ultimate end of double-stranded DNA, an overhang is single-stranded DNA. This can occur on either strand, and if it does, there will either be a 5' overhang on the 5' end of the strand or a 3' overhang on the 3' end of the strand.

Lady_Fox [76]
Answer: The lagging strand glows more because its RNA primer is nearer the replication fork.
During DNA replication process, both the strands of DNA are replicated simultaneously in opposite direction. One strand is replicated continuously and known as leading strand while the other strand is replicated discontinuously and known as lagging strand.  The leading strand has only one primer attached to it while the lagging strand
