The one advantage of using DNS assay to detect maltose production is the formation of a soluble and colored product compound.
The reaction that occurs between maltose and DNS in the assay is a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation) such that maltose gets oxidized and becomes Maltonic Acid while the DNS gets reduced into reduced DNS. The intensity of orange/brown /red color of reduced DNS is proportionately related to the amount of Maltose in the solution.
Answer: The correct option is E ( Intermediate filaments are unpolarized).
Explanation:
Intermediate Filaments are usually associated with cells that can withstand mechanical stress which includes claws of animals, hair and makes up the dead remnants of the epidermal cell of the skin. Therefore without the supporting network of intermediate filaments, an epithelium remains intact but the cells are prone to damage by abrasive forces.
Intermediate filaments are so named because they are thicker than actin filaments and thinner than microtubules or muscle myosin filaments
The properties or characteristics of an intermediate filaments that explains the lack of motor proteins is as a result of its subunits which are elongated, not globular and are associated in an anti-polar manner. Therefore, the overall filament has no polarity, and therefore no motor proteins move along intermediate filaments
Answer:
The answer is D. Food security
Explanation:
Sustainable Agriculture:
Sustainable agriculture or farming is a combination of agricultural policies, practices and measures that yield the maximum profits and benefits without negatively impacting the environment.
Sustainable agriculture, as an idea, basically means to utilizes resources responsibly so that the future generations can reap the benefits as well.
Sustainable Farming Approaches:
Approaches to sustainable farming include policy as well as farming technique interventions. Some of these methods are:
- Crop rotations that involve planting diverse crops on a piece of land, as opposed to monoculture and intensive farming that gradually makes the soil nutrient deficient.
- Cover cropping after a season of monoculture to prevent leaving the soil bare til the next season.
- Use of renewable energy resources and integrated pet management to generate energy efficiently and minimize crop losses respectively.
Food Security:
Food security entails that healthy, nutritious and safe food is readily i.e. physically and economically available for all people. Food security is one of the major sustainability goals.
According to the second law of thermodynamics, energy is never 100% efficient because some of the energy disperses as heat.
