Answer:

Polycistronic mRNAs

Explanation:

Normally In Eukaryotic cells the messenger RNAs (mRNA) only contain the information to produce a protein, these mRNAs are known as monocistronic.

In Prokaryotes, the transcription system is usually polycistronic, this means that a mRNA have the information to encode two or more genes.

As an interesting example of the co-evolution of Eukaryotes, the mitochondrial genome has polycistronic genes.

Several cities have now banned __________, which are a type of fat.
Furkat [3]
The correct answer is "trans fatty acids".

Trans fatty acids (colloquially as trans fats) are a type of unsaturated fatty acids wherein instead having its double bonds in the cis configuration giving the fatty acid "kinks" in the molecules making it more soluble; the double bonds in trans fats are in the trans configuration (hence the name) and this will not give the molecule kinks making it less soluble. Less soluble trans fats are notorious in depositing in peripheral arteries as well as in coronary arteries that increase the risk for developing atherosclerosis.

Which of the following attributes is common to both prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
yarga [219]

Answer:

b. the use of DNA as the information storage molecule

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are the ones that lack the membrane-bound organelles and well-defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have the nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most of the prokaryotic cells are smaller in size as compared to eukaryotic cells. Despite these differences, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have DNA as their genetic material. DNA serves to store genetic information in both types of cells.

Which of the following enzymes are involved in coupled reactions in glycolysis? (Select all that apply.) Phosphoglycerate kinase
Len [333]

Answer:

Hexokinase, Phosphofructokinase, Phosphoglycerate kinase and Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

Coupled reactions are reactions that require energy by one process and is supplied by another; where the energy is transferred from one side of the reaction to the other.

In glycolysis, four (4) reactions undergo coupled reactions

1. Reaction one: which is the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi catalyzed by hexokinase.

2. Reaction three: The phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1-6-bisphosphate and the hydrolysis of ATP, catalyzed by phosphofructokinase

3. Reaction seven: Phosphoglycerate kinase catalyzes the conversion of Bisphoglycerate to 3-phoshoglycerate and the production of ATP from ADP

4. Reaction ten: Pyruvate kinase catalyzes the conversion of enol phosphate to the enolic form of pyruvate with the synthesis of ATP.
