Assume that endogenous acid production is 40 meq during a 12-hr period. A urine sample collected during this time contains 30 mm

ol NH4 and 15 meq titratable acid. If the body is in steady state for HCO3-, how much HCO3- must be in this urine sample?

Answer:

Thus, the Quantity of HCo_{3}^{-} Present in urine sample in 24 hours is 35mmol

Explanation:

Acid Production in 12 hours = 40 meq

For, 24 hours = 40 meq × 2

Acid Production in 24 hours = 80 meq

Urine sample for NH4^{+} = 30mmol

HCo_{3}^{-} Present in Urine Sample in 24 hours

= Acid Production - Urine sample for NH4^{+} - Titratable Acid

= 80 - 30 - 15

= 50 - 15

= 35mmol

HCo_{3}^{-} Present in urine sample in 24 hours is 35mmol

Distinguish between anaerobic pathways in eukaryotes (e.g. yeasts) and anaerobic respiration in anaerobic microbes
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration refers to the break down of food (sugar) in absence of oxygen in order to produce energy (ATP or adenosine triphosphate).

In yeast, alcoholic fermentation takes place by which glucose is converted into ethanol (alcohol), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and energy (ATP). It helps in regeneration of NAD⁺ lost during glycolysis. No electron transport chain is required in this process.

The overall reaction can be written as:

Glucose → Pyruvate → Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + ATP.

Contrary, in anaerobic bacteria respiration takes place by using electron acceptor other than oxygen such as sulfate, nitrate, sulfur, fumarate etc. Hence, electrons are passed through a electron transport chain which are finally accepted by any molecule other than oxygen.

Other molecules have less oxidizing potential as compared to the oxygen and thus less energy is released per oxidizing molecule. It makes the anaerobic respiration less efficient as compared to the aerobic respiration.

Examples of anaerobic microbes are methanogens (<em>Methanosarcina barkeri </em>uses CO₂ as final electron acceptor),  Desulfuromonadales (uses sulfur as final electron acceptor) etc.

Arrow a is indicating a(n) _____ protein. arrow a is indicating a(n) _____ protein. structural signal receptor transport enzyme
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer;

-Structural protein

Explanation;

Arrow A is indicating a structural protein. (refer to the attached photo)

Structural proteins are the most abundant class of proteins in nature. Collagen is recognized as the most abundant mammalian protein. Structural proteins such as collagen, fibronectin and laminin are utilized in cell culture applications as attachment factors.

-Structural proteins maintain cell shape, akin to a skeleton, and they compose structural elements in connective tissues like cartilage and bone in vertebrates.

Construct a lists the seven ways bacteria differ from<br> eukaryotic cells. (Just list them)
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Bacteria has prokaryotic cells i. e. no true nucleus or membrane around the nucleus. They lack mitochondria, ribosome, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi bodies and cell wall.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are the organisms which have no true nucleus while eukaryotes have true nucleus. True nucleus means that the membrane is present around the nucleus. Many organelles are also absent in prokaryotic cell which are present in eukaryotic cells.

If there were six bases in DNA and still only 20 amino acids, how long would a codon need to be in order to specify an amino aci
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The codon length would not change.

Explanation:

Codons have 3 bases and normally the DNA has 4, each codon counts for a single amino acid. There are 64 possible codon variations which can be calculated by 4^{3}.

If there were 6 bases in the DNA than there would be 6^{3} = 216 codon variation that correspond to the same 20 amino acids but the codon lengths would still be the same.

I hope this answer helps.
