Answer:

<u>B. Animals do not use carbon dioxide as an energy source; they use carbohydrates.</u>

Explanation:

The most readily form of energy that an animal requires is carbohydrate molecules. Monosaccharide carbohydrates can be easily broken down and hence are the best sources of energy. Carbohydrates are broken down in the process of cellular respiration to generate ATP. ATP is the energy driving molecule which is required by every cell of an organisms body to carry out its normal metabolic functions. Hence, animals use carbohydrates as a source of energy, not carbon dioxide.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as an X-linked recessive allele in humans. A woman whose father
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(a) 1/2; (b) no

Explanation:

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.

In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.

The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.

(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:

They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.

(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.

The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.

What are proteins made up of?
Nesterboy [21]
<h2> What are proteins made of?</h2><h3>Proteins are made up of smaller building blocks called amino acids, joined together in chains. There are 20 different amino acids. Some proteins are just a few amino acids long, while others are made up of several thousands. These chains of amino acids fold up in complex ways, giving each protein a unique 3D shape. Some, like keratin, the hair protein, form long fibres. Others, like haemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen around your body, are roughly spherical.</h3>

Explanation:

D. E: photosynthesis; D: cellular respiration

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent.

In the light reactions, occuring within the thykaloid, and stroma of the chloroplasts, water supplies the pigment chlorophyll with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the dark reactions, or Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’s cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate (through the process of glycoysis). The electron transport chain, in which oxygen functions as the terminal electron acceptor, occurs in both plants and animals. Respiration includes:

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules.
  • The Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.
