Scientists can use mutants to study metabolic pathways. These organisms have a mutation in a gene encoding a metabolic pathway e

nzyme that results in the activation of that enzyme. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (a yeast species) mutants are available that grow on pyruvate or ethanol, but not sugars or glycerol. Which of the following glycolytic enzymes is most likely affected?
1. triose phosphate isomerase

2. aldolase -phophoglucose isomerase (phosphohexose isomerase or glucose-6-phosphate isomerase)

3. hexokinase

4. pyruvate kinase

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.

When should vaccines be given? Should they be given as a precaution or when there is evidence of an outbreak?
Ivanshal [37]
Among reported cases through May 17, 90% were unvaccinated or their vaccination status was unknown. Fifty-five (6%) cases were acquired outside of the U.S. (international importations) and 825 (94%) were acquired in the U.S. Most cases (94%) were related to outbreaks and 75% were related to outbreaks in New York City and New York State.

Excess fat intake leads to different health hazards. They affect the body and cause lipids to clog the arteries thereby preventing blood from quickly delivering oxygen to the body parts.

Excess fat intake causes fatty pancreas and decreases its function.

It also causes series of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack; elevated cholesterol/atherosclerosis,abnormal heart rhythms, hypertension, stroke etc

What is being measured in this graph?
inna [77]

Answer:

Pigment Absorbance at Different Wavelengths

Explanation:

Looking at this graph, there are two axes to analyze. On the Y-axis, the percentage of light absorbed is measured for the three different pigments. On the X-axis, the wavelength is measured from 400 to 700 nm.

With all of this in mind, the other answers don't fit considering these two axes.  "Pigment Absorbance at Different Wavelengths" fits best in my opinion.

Hope this helped! :^)
