Although many organisms (including eukaryotes) use the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway for the initial catabolism of glucos

e, alternative glycolytic pathways do exist and are widespread among the prokaryotes. The Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway, for example, is widely used among Gram-negative bacteria (including E. coli) and archaea. Because the EMP generates slightly more energy, it has been considered the "better" and "more evolved" of the two. But is this assumption naive?
Of the following, which phenotype would most likely be observed in mutants of E. coli lacking a key enzyme in the ED pathway?

A. loss of ability to grow anaerobically
B. lack of flagellar motility
C. reduced ability to colonize the mammalian gut
D. inability to form biofilms
E. increased virulence

Answer:

<h2>Reduced ability to colonize the mammalian gut.</h2>

Explanation:

The Entner-Doudoroff Pathway (ED Pathway) is a metabolic pathway that is most notably in Gram-negative bacteria, some + bacteria and archaea. Glucose is the starting molecuke in the ED pathway and through a series of enzyme assisted chemical reactions it is catabolized into pyruvate.

Those mutants of E. coli lacking a key enzyme in Entner-Doudoroff  (ED Pathway)Pathway leads to reduced ability to colonize the mammalian gut.

24. Why is everything in our solar system attracted to the sun? *
aev [14]

Answer:

B. Largest gravitational attraction

Explanation:

Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

I beleive it's B because it would have to be a strong gravitational pull to keep everything balanced correctly.

Please mark me brainliest if correct :)

True or false. The absence of a trait cannot be used as a synapomorphy in phylogenetic analysis
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Phylogenetic analysis is a means of establishing evolutionary relationships.

Synapomorphy is a shared ("syn") character that is different from the form found in an ancestor that distinguishes a clade (monophyletic group)from other organisms

The absence of a trait can be used as a synapomorphy in phylogenetic analysis. For example, the loss of a trait, such as the loss of legs in snakes, can be a valuable synapomorphy for a clade.
