Which of these statements about eicosanoid synthesis is true?

Biology
1 answer:
Blizzard [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A) An early step in the path to thromboxanes is blocked by ibuprofen.

Explanation:

Eicosanoids are signaling molecules that are produced by oxidation of  arachidonic acid or other twenty-carbon essential fatty acid. Eicosanoids are involved in immune responses: they inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever, they also regulate pregnancy, childbirth, control cell growth..

Synthesis of  prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane (subfamilies of eicosanoids) is inhibited by aspirin and some anti-Inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen.

How do fungi benefit from being able to reproduce both asexually and sexually?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Asexual reproduction is an advantage because they don't need to depend on contacting a suitable mate, or expand energy producing gametes and attractions, in order to spread .

sexual reproduction is an advantage because it enables the exchange of genetic information and produces variety in the offspring that makes them more resilient and capable of adapting to changes in their environment .

Why does sound travel faster through a solid object than in the air?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Sound travels more quickly through solids than through liquids and gases because the molecules of a solid are closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations (energy) faster.

vfiekz [6]

Complete question:

A gene on strand of DNA has the following nucleotide sequence: CCCAAGTGG

A) GGG UUC ACC

B) CCC AAG TGG

C) GGG TTC ACC

D) UUU CCC AGA

Explanation:

What are the mRNA triplets coded for from this gene?

A) GGG UUC ACC

RNA codons determine certain amino acids, so the order in which the bases occur within in the codon sequence designates which amino acid is to be made bus with the four RNA nucleotides (Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil). Up to 64 codons (with 3 as stop codons) determine amino acid synthesis. The stop codons ( UAG UGA UAA) terminate amino acid/ protein synthesis while the start codon AUG begins protein synthesis.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is condensed and tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. Chromosomes within the nucleus is unwound, unzipped and read by enzymes in a complex series of steps known as transcription. The message on DNA, called genes is copied by RNA polymerase, to form mRNA complementary sequence to that of the DNA strand. These are then translated into proteins in ribosomes.

Nucleic acids like DNA stores all of an organism’s genetic information. Nucleic acid molecules comprise the nitrogenous bases Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine and Thymine. Conversely, RNA nucleotides are Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil. These pair up as base pairs due to their varied structure- largely influenced by the location of N molecule.

In certain combinations, these bases form codons which act as instructions for protein synthesis. Codons are three nucleotide bases encoding an amino acid or signal at the beginning or end of protein synthesis. Thus, these contribute to the broad diversity of living organisms, as varied combinations of these 64 codons can produce many proteins which can be organized into cells, tissues and organisms.
