Answer:

In cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is formed from the oxidation of glucose molecule.

Respiration is also called energy releasing process. In respiration, oxygen is inhaled through the air into the body which combines with glucose which is present inside the cells. This combination of oxygen and glucose produces carbondioxode, water and energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP). Carbondioxode removed from the body through lungs and ATP is used for different processes.

Answer: Though the options are not provided, in cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is formed from the oxidation glucose.

Explanation: In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy with the release of carbon dioxide and water as the by-products. The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy. Energy produced in cellular respiration is in form of ATP. Cellular respiration is made up of four stages: 1). glucose is oxidized in a series of ten enzyme catalyzed reactions to two molecules of pyruvate in a process known as glycolysis.

2). Each molecule of pyruvate is further oxidized to Acetyl CoA

3) Acetyl CoA enters the Krebs cycle in a series of either enzyme catalyzed reactions to generate ATP, FADH2 and NADH.

4) FADH2 and NADH enter the electron transport chain to be further oxidized to ATP.

The ATP is the form of usable energy in the cells and is used to drive other cellular functions.

_____ are the reproductive organs that produce gametes. Gonads Larva Embryos Chitin
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Gonads are the reproductive organs that produce gametes. 

Gametes are also known as sex cells. They are produced by the gonads. In males, the gonads are the testes. The gametes that are produced by males are called sperm cells.  In females, the gonads are the ovaries. The gametes that are produced by females are called egg cells.

According to most scientists, green algae are the ancestors of plants. Which statement best supports that belief? A) both have c
Tresset [83]

The statement that best supports that belief is “both have cell wall made of cellulose, store food material as starch, and have chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b”.

 

The green algae are a large, informal grouping of algae consisting of the Chlorophyte and Charophyte algae, which are now placed in separate Divisions. The land plants or Embryophytes are thought to have emerged from the Charophytes.

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the first choice or letter A. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

An individual with Huntington disease has two normal parents. What are plausible explanations for this pattern of inheritance? C
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The Huntington disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that codifies for the Huntingtin protein (Htt). The mutation produces an altered form of the protein leading to the neuron´s death in certain areas of the brain.

The Huntington disease characterizes for being,

  • Hereditary, passing from generation to generation. To express the disease, a person must have been born with an altered gene.
  • Autosomal, affecting men and women equally, because the mutated gene is located on an autosomal chromosome.
  • Dominant, which means that by getting only one copy of the altered gene coming from any of the parents, the receiving person will express the disease. The mutation in the gene dominates over the normal gene copy.
  • Expressed by heterozygosis. Most people affected by the disease are heterozygous, with a normal copy and a mutated copy.

There are just a few cases all around the world (3% approximately) in which the disease is expressed with no family history. The progenitors are not affected by the mutation. These cases are very rare and are called <u>"de-novo" mutations.</u> A new mutation is spontaneously produced and it is not inherited from any of the parentals. It consists of an increase in the number of CAG repetitions. In a normal person, the number of CAG repetitions is less than 35. When there are 40 or more repetitions it occurs the disease. But when there are between 35 and 39 repetitions, the penetrance of the disease is incomplete. This is a "gray zone". Those alleles that fall in the gray zone are unstable and might produce the HD. Individuals with these unstable alleles have a tendency to increase the number of repetitions from generation to generation until the number reaches 40 repetitions and the person expresses the disease. This <u>usually occurs in the paternal germinal line</u>, as it is particularly unstable in sperm and probably meiosis greatly affects their instability, causing an increase in the number of CAG repeats.

Scientists can use mutants to study metabolic pathways. These organisms have a mutation in a gene encoding a metabolic pathway e
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

Yeasts convert glycerol and sugars into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) through independent pathways. Then, G3P forms pyruvate and, in some circumstances, pyruvate is converted in ethanol, which can be used as energy sources. If the mutation affects any reaction before G3P formation, it will only affect yeast growing either on sugar or pyruvate but not both.

Pyruvate kinase is the only enzyme on the list acting after G3P is formed and before pyruvate is formed. All other options are enzymes acting only in the formation of G3P from sugars. Meaning that only pyruvate kinase mutants will lack the ability to grow on both sugars and glycerol.
