A key intermediate in the catabolism of fatty acids with uneven numbers of carbon atoms is

Biology

Answer: Propionly CoA

Explanation:

During oxidation of odd chain fatty acids, the odd chain are oxidized exactly in the same manner as even chains. However, after successive removal of 2 carbon units, at the end, one 3-carbon unit, propionyl CoA is formed.

Propionyl CoA is a product of beta oxidation of odd chain fatty acids.

In three steps reaction propionyl-CoA can be converted to succinyl-CoA, an intermediate of the citric acid cycle which is converted to oxaloacetate, and is used for gluconeogenesis.

Which of the following does NOT describe the macronucleus of a paramecium?
Rom4ik [11]
The answer is letter D. The macronucleus is not exchanged during conjugation. <span>It normally contains the working duplicates/copies of genes necessary to support an enormous cell. Macronucleus is formed by a direct division of the polyploid nucleus right after conjugation then followed by series of internal gene replication that is not oftenly occurring in micronucleuse.</span>

How is a brain injury classified?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

As an injury of the central nervous system.

Explanation:

Peripheral nervous system is the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, and more. The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. Therefore, central nervous system is your answer!

Neurons have special proteins in the cell membranes that control the flow of charged ions. Are these proteins most likely produc
Zielflug [23.3K]

The ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) most likely produces neuronal special proteins.

Explanation:

Conduction of electrical impulses by action potentials of neurons takes place through controlled flow of charged ions through neuronal membranes. This ion transfer is controlled by specialized neuronal channel proteins which are present in the neuronal cell membrane.  

These channel proteins allow for hydrophillic passage of ions and water molecules across the neuronal membranes.  

Ribosomes that are attached to the RER are involved in protein synthesis. They carry the code for proteins carried by the mRNA and translate into respective protein.

The RER along with some free ribosomes cluster together as Nissl bodies and are mainly involved in neuronal specialized proteins.
