Answer:

C is the correct option.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the standard way for the formation of acetyl-CoA, from glucose.

Second, beta-oxidation of fatty acids generates 2 acetyl-coA molecules per cycle.

Finally, the degradation of amino acids generates intermediates of the Krebbs cycle. Occasionally Leucine, tryptophan and isoleucine are directly catalysed in acetyl-CoA.

Place the 4 steps of biofilm formation, listed below, in the correct order.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

1. Surface (substratum) is preconditioned by environment molecules.

4. Microbes attach and detach from the preconditioned surface.

2.Quorum sensing and the establishment of the extracellular matrix commences as microbes attach more stably.

3. Biofilm matures and some microorganisms escape to the plank-tonic state.

Explanation:

Biofilm is a process in which microorganism irreversibly attach and grow on the surface to produce extra cellular polymers that facilitate formation of matrix. The biofilm process takes three days for the formation after which thickness of plaque increases. There are 4 main steps in biofilm formation. Surface is preconditioned by environment molecules. The microbes attach the preconditioned surface. Establishment of extra cellular matrix and finally biofilm matures.

The nitrogenous bases guanine and adenine are A. purines. B. a phosphate group. C. pyrimidines. D. a sugar group.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The nitrogenous bases guanine and adenine are A. purines.

Explanation:

Adenine and guanine are purines, whereas the other two bases in DNA (thymine and cytosine) are pyrimidines. The main difference between purines and pyrimidines is the number of rings that the base has: purines have two rings while pyrimidines only have one ring.

In addition, phosphate group and sugar group cannot be the answer to this question because these two elements in addition to a nitrogenous base makes up a nucleotide.

Hope this helps!
