Why are proteins not usually used for energy?

Biology
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
3 0
Turning amino acids into molecules that can be used in the Krebs cycle takes energy, which means that burning protein for fuel is not as efficient as burning carbohydrates. ... When amino acids are used as an energy source, it reduces the reserves of amino acids that are available for protein synthesis.

By what 2 different mechanisms could mutant phages change to become capable of lysing<br> e. coli k
Agata [3.3K]

The switching from lysogenic to the lytic cycle, also called lysogenic induction, can be caused by a double-stranded break in the prophage or can be caused by a mutagen. These factors could cause disruption of the cI & cro genes that are responsible for regulating the lytic-lysogenic cycles of bacteriophages..

A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink in a process called crenation. A red blood cell placed in a hypoton
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The correct answers are A. "crenation", B. "hemolysis", C. "hemolysis", D. "crenation" and E. "neither will occur".

Explanation:

0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose are isotonic solutions at which the cells will not suffer any harmful consequence. A solution with a higher concentration than the isotonic conditions would result in the cells crenation, while a solution with a lower concentration would result in the cells hemolysis. Therefore the consequences of putting the red cells to the solutions stated in the question are as following:

A: 3.21% (m/v) NaCl Solution  = crenation (higher than 0.9% (m/v) NaCl)

B: 1.65% (m/v) glucose Solution  = hemolysis (lower than 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

C: distilled H2O Solution  = hemolysis (lower than 0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

D: 6.97% (m/v) glucose Solution  = crenation (higher than 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

E: 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) NaCl = neither will occur (equal to 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9% (m/v) NaCl)
