Free palmitate is activated to its coenzyme A derivative (palmitoyl-CoA) in the cytosol before it can be oxidized in the mitocho

ndrion. If palmitate and [14C]coenzyme A are added to a liver homogenate, palmitoyl-CoA isolated from the cytosolic fraction is radioactive, but the palmitoyl-CoA isolated from the mitochondrial fraction is not. Why is this?

Answer:

Explanation:

The fatty acyl group condensed with CoA in the cytosol is first transferred to carnitine, releasing CoA and then transported to the mitochondrion, where it is condensed with CoA again. CoA cytosolic and mitochondrial pools are therefore kept separate and no radioactive CoA enters the mitochondrion from the cytosolic pool.

Some scientists claim that humans are responsible for the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. Evaluate which system the increased
forsale [732]

Yes, human activities are a significant cause of the increase in the amount of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The increasing amount of CO_2 is a big problem in today's world for the atmosphere. Human activities are playing a vital role in the rise in CO_2. Carbon emission is majorly happening because of pollution. The pollution by vehicle, wax factories, chemical factories, etc. also, some other kinds of Carbon emission activities are there like burning coal and plastic produces Carbon in very high amount and this Carbon directly mix into the atmosphere.

Due to the increase in CO_2, both natural and agricultural ecosystems are suffering. CO_2 causes air pollution, and because of that, the quality of crops is declining day by day. Also, the natural vegetation is struggling as the rainwater is also not pure; the amount of acidic content in natural rain is increasing per year. All these activities are leading towards global warming, which one day will bring our earth to an end. So it is imperative to take some severe legal measures to save the environment and decline the amount of CO_2 producing.

Travka [436]

Answer:

A. fitness

Explanation:

Fitness, also known as 'evolutionary fitness', refers to the ability of one species/population/individual to survive and reproduce in its environment. Fitness is a fundamental concept in the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, because this concept highlights the importance of natural selection as the key mechanism by which evolution occurs. Fitness can be measured as the success of passing genes associated with specific phenotypic traits to the next generation.
