Answer: <em>D. Causes an accumulation of lipids in brain cells</em>

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the <em>HEXA</em> gene. It is an autosomal recessive disease that causes the mutation on an enzyme, which metabolizes <em>GM2 Ganglioside</em> in nerve cells, this leads to a build-up of the molecule in brain cells. At the moment there is no cure for the disease, only support treatment is available.

Summarize a process of lactic fermentation if you were to exercise for 4 hours today.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

If aerobic respiration occurs, then ATP will be produced using the energy of the high-energy electrons carried by NADH or FADH2 to the electron transport chain. If aerobic respiration does not occur, NADH must be reoxidized to NAD+ for reuse as an electron carrier for glycolysis to continue. How is this done? Some living systems use an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor. Processes that use an organic molecule to regenerate NAD+ from NADH are collectively referred to as fermentation. In contrast, some living systems use an inorganic molecule as a final electron acceptor; both methods are a type of anaerobic cellular respiration. Anaerobic respiration enables organisms to convert energy for their use in the absence of oxygen.

What do the different colors of visible light represent?
dybincka [34]

The right answer is Wavelengths of energy.

White light is made up of all colors. The rainbow is actually the decomposition of white light by droplets of water like a prism.

Each color corresponds to an electromagnetic radiation of particular frequency and wavelength.

The sensitivity of the eye is maximum around 550 nm, in the yellow-green. The spectrum of visible light ranges from 400 to 780 nm but its perception depends on each individual (tastes and colors ...).
