Answer:

The correct answer is B) Beta-oxidation of fatty acids.

Explanation:

The DNP has the ability to disrupt the formation of the electron chain in the oxidative phosphorylation, avoiding the foods from producing ATP. This will, furthermore, cause the fatty acids to oxidate in order to provide energy to the cell. But this lack of ATP can get to lethal levels with minimum doses.

How does the speed of sound change as the sound of a boat engine moves down to the depths of the ocean?
Llana [10]
<span>The speed of sound change as the sound of a boat engine moves down to the depths of the ocean The speed increases and then decreases as the temperature of the water increase. Sound do not travel faster in water than air due to the resistance. The salt and water molecules of the ocean cause interference for the sound wave to travel across it. It it had travel through air, then you can hear the sound of the incoming boat. But if it goes down into the water, and as you know it, going deeper into the water increases the pressure all the more that it muffles the sound of the engine of a boat. That is why it increases then decreases its sound as it goes down the ocean.

What is the structure of a virus?<br>​
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The simplest virions consist of two basic components: nucleic acid (single- or double-stranded RNA or DNA) and a protein coat, the capsid, which functions as a shell to protect the viral genome from nucleases and which during infection attaches the virion to specific receptors exposed on the prospective host cell.

A virion consists of a nucleic acid core, an outer protein coating or capsid, and sometimes an outer envelope made of protein and phospholipid membranes derived from the host cell. The capsid is made up of protein subunits called capsomeres. Viruses may also contain additional proteins, such as enzymes

What is the function of the surface of a microspheres
Sauron [17]

Engineered microsphere possesses the advantage of strong light manipulation at sub-wavelength scale and emerges as a promising candidate to shrink the focal spot size. Here we demonstrated a center-covered engineered microsphere which can adjust the transverse component of the incident beam and achieve a sharp photonic nanojet. Modification of the beam width and working distance of the photonic nanojet were achieved by tuning the cover ratio of the engineered microsphere, leading to a sharp spot size which exceeded the optical diffraction limit. At a wavelength of 633 nm, a focal spot of 245 nm (0.387 λ) was achieved experimentally under plane wave illumination. Strong localized field with Bessel-like distribution was demonstrated by employing the linearly polarized beam and a center-covered mask being engineered on the microsphere.

Porous microspheres have external pores on the surface or internal pores in the core (usually interconnective), and active substances can be dissolved or dispersed on the surface or in the core of the microspheres. In the 1950s, cross-linked polystyrene with a macroporous structure in the dry state was prepared by a novel polymerization method.1 Little progress was made until the 1990s when porous microspheres were identified as suitable materials for potential applications including as carriers for drugs, high speed chromatography, cell delivery, and tissue regeneration as a scaffold. Compared with traditional microspheres, they show many unique properties such as special behavior of drug absorption and drug release kinetics, large specific surface area, and low density.
