Set point theory implies the probable results of bariatric surgery that it will not occur in long term weight loss because after the surgery the body will hold change and attempt its set point.

The set point theory maintains that a person’s body will struggle to sustain that particular weight limit. Every individual, male or female, has a set point, and since the individual have no control over eye color, hair color or stature, in the similar way we don't have any command over our set point.

<span>Bariatric surgery is a surgery created to help one lose weight. The set-point theory says that the bodyâ€™s regulatory controls help a person maintain a specific body weight as time goes on. Bariatric surgery works to establish a new set-point by altering body weight and establishing weight loss results.</span>

How is the shape of an enzyme related to its function?

erastova [34]

Function of an enzyme is to lower reaction's activation energy and to increase speed of a reaction, but to make it happen, enzyme and substrate must fit spatially. The shape of an enzyme is essential to make enzyme-substrate complex - if active site of an enzyme doesn't fit to substrate, there won't be a enzyme-catalised reaction.

4) If a dead organism is preserved as a fossil, which body tissues are most likely to survive? Why?

IrinaVladis [17]

The answer is hard tissue.

Usually, hard tissue, such as bones and teeth or exoskeleton is much more preserved than soft tissue (organs, skin, etc.). Fossils become fossils by a process of mineralization. Hard tissues are more mineralized during life than organs. So it is no surprise that hard tissues take part in the process of mineralization and is preserved in fossils, unlike soft tissues.

What happens to RNA polymerase II after it has completed transcription of a gene? a. It begins transcribing the next gene on the

Over [174]

The correct answer is: b. It is free to bind to another promoter and begin transcription

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex.

RNA polymerase is also released and can transcribe some other gene by binding to its promotor. RNA polymerase will transcribe just the genes whose products are needed at a particular moment.

Explain why bacteria are not able to be as efficient as eukaryotic organisms

sertanlavr [38]

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.
