Pneumonia is a leading cause of death.
Answer:
Option D When activated, Bax and Bak form oligomers in the outer membrane of mitochondria, leading to the release of cytochrome c.
Explanation:
The proapoptotic genes are involved in the process of apoptosis. The antiapoptotic gene prevents apoptosis that is cell death. The proapoptotic genes are bax, bak, bad and bid. The bcl family genes are antiapoptotic genes. The process involved activation of apoptosis inside the cell is called intrinsic pathway of apoptosis.
The activation proapoptotic genes, Bax and Bak form oligomers in the mitochondria outer membrane. These pores in the mitochondrial membrane allows the release of cytochrome-c that further attaches with Apaf-1. This leads to activation of caspase 9 that further activates caspase 3, thus inducing apoptosis.
Answer: Pyruvate is reduced and NADH is oxidized.
Explanation:
Fermentation is a chemical process that involves the breakdown of carbohydrates anaerobically by the activities of microorganisms.
It is the process use in the production of foodstuffs, wine and beer. Fermentation start with enzymes activities, which breakdown sugars into lactate or two molecules of three carbon organic acid, pyruvic acid. Pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid or alcohol in the absence of oxygen and nicotinamide adenine dinuleotide+hydrogen(NADH) is oxidized . This process produces two ATP per glucose molecule.
He found that the recessive trait such as the short plants disappeared, but only the dominent trait stayed which is tallness. When he allowed them to self pollinate, the recessive gene which is the shortness reappeared.
