Answer: 5. False 6. False
Explanation: The permeases are membrane transport proteins, they're secondary active transporter that allow the movement of a specific molecule in or out of the cell in the direction of a concentration gradient, it is a form of facilitated diffusion and does not require energy. The permease secondary transporter uses the Na ion concentration to move glucose into the cell.
When the ion concentration gradient is set, the concentration of glucose in the cell is higher than the concentration of blood. Glucose will move to the blood by passive diffusion through permease secondary transporter.
The transport mechanism is carrier mediated it does not require energy.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
In metaphase I, the chromosome tetrads align on metaphase plate
while in metaphase II, chromosomes align on metaphase plate as they are in mitosis with only sister chromatids.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Meiosis is a form of cell division that halves number of chromosomes when forming specialized reproductive cells such as gametes
.
- Meiosis occurs in two phases, namely; meiosis I and meiosis II. During homologous pairs of chromosomes align on the equatorial plane at the center of the cell.
- During metaphase II, the spindle fibers connect to the kinetochore of each sister chromatid. The chromosomes align at the equatorial plane, which is rotated 90° compared to the equatorial plane in meiosis I.
<span>D. Temperature and pH can affect how enzymes work.</span> The action of enzymes can be affected by many factors including temperature, pH and ionic strength. Optimum pH differs per enzyme. Enzymes can be destroyed by heat more than the allowed optimum temperature.
Hairpin like structures are formed in both DNA and RNA but are common in RNA than in DNA. This is because DNA can be double stranded or single stranded while RNA is generally single stranded structure that can be double stranded only when it forms a hair pin like structure.
The features of hairpin structure in RNA are as follows:
1. This structure is a building block of many secondary structures of RNA.
2. The termination sequence during transcription also forms a hairpin loop like structure.
3. tRNA also forms a hairpin loop like structure and helps in the process of translation.

Anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation), which is a reaction that oxidises ammonium to di-nitrogen gas using nitrite as the electron acceptor under anoxic conditions, was an important discovery in the nitrogen cycle.
