I think the answer is capsule. It is a protective outside layer of a bacteria that also carries diseases. The capsule has components which prevent itself from being engulfed by a phagocyte, cell that protects a body.It also contains water that prevents the bacteria from drying itself. The capsule is made of a polysaccharide.

What enzymatic features of DNA polymerase prevent it from replicating one of the DNA strands at the ends of linear chromosomes

tatyana61 [14]

DNA polymerase is an enzyme with a specific active site complementary to the 3' OH end of the DNA strand in terms of charge, size, orientation and shape thus can only bind to 3' end and cannot bind to 5' end for replication to occur

On a backpacking trip, Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace, covering 30 kilometers and burning 4000 Calories. At the school tra

Answer:

A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."

D. The rate of energy demand determines how the muscles will obtain energy, either from cellular respiration or from lactic acid fermentation if not enough oxygen is present.

Explanation:

It is important to consider that Kenny hikes all day but at a steady pace, whereas Janelle runs very fast. So Kenny's case, the supply of oxygen is sufficient to maintain aerobic respiration within the muscle cells. During this process only CO2, Water, and ATP are produced; therefore, there is no oxygen debt. We should keep in mind that the body shifts to anaerobic metabolism only when the supply of oxygen is limited.

In Janelle's case, running fast would need energy at higher rates and the supply of oxygen would not be sufficient to generate a high amount of ATPs. Therefore, to compensate for this deficiency, cells will start fermenting glucose to lactic acid and produce ATP and maintain energy demands. This lactic acid causes fatigue and this is why Janelle has aching and breathing hard. Breathing hard is also automatic reflux to inhale more oxygen and meet oxygen demands but even breathing hard would not be able to make it and the body will shift to anaerobic respiration automatically.

Explanation:

Hey there!

Your answer is option B.

Generally, in double fertilization one nuclei reacts with egg and form zygote and other reacts with polar nuclei. On this process, fruits and seed are found to be formed.
