Answer:

The correct answer would be levodopa/carbidopa.

Tolcapone is a drug used as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopa combination medication.

These drugs are used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Tolcapone is used to inhibit enzyme COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase).

In the brain, levodopa is converted into dopamine which helps in controlling the movement.

Carbidopa helps in preventing the breakdown of levodopa in the blood which allows more levodopa to enter the brain. In addition, it helps in reducing the side-effects associated with levodopa such as vomiting, nausea et cetera.

Sloan [31]

A human fetus develops at the mother’s body temperature. At birth, most newborns experience a drop in temperature, and their bodies must quickly do something about it. What they do is the same thing a hibernating mammal does as it rouses itself from its winter "snooze." During hibernation, an animal’s body temperature is low. In order to move about and take care of itself once awake again, the animal that has been hibernating must raise its body temperature. (William k. Purves et al., life: the science of biology) The definition is the primary pattern of organization in this passage.

This passage is explaining the process of hibernation and its importance in the animal life cycle.

True or false? nucleotides can be broken apart from a single strand of rna by hydrolysis reactions.
Tomtit [17]
The statement above is TRUE.
RNA hydrolysis is a reaction in which a phosphodiester bond in the sugar phosphate backbone of RNA is broken, thus cleaving the RNA molecule.
This reaction is made possible in RNA because the ribose sugar in RNA has hydroxyl group at the two prime position.
