Answer: New research shows that colonies of Escherichia coli can demonstrate a form of learning.
Explanation: Bacterial colonies can evolve the ability to anticipate changes in their immediate environment, say researchers led by Saeed Tavazoie at Princeton University in New Jersey. Other types of bacteria could too. This skill could give them the edge over other bacteria that merely adapt themselves to current conditions.
Answer: Wetlands
Explanation:
Dont know how to explain it
Hormones -- such as melatonin and cortisol; the former signals the body to go to bed, while the latter signals for the sleeping person to wake up -- are created by physiological changes.
Answer:
1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.
2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.
(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in
liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-
bisphosphatase-1 activity
(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.
