Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate and is observed in each of the three domains. The hexokina

se family of enzymes is required during glycolysis to phosphorylate six-carbon sugars. Researchers designed a general hexokinase inhibitor that is effective in the neurons of rats.
Which of the following best predicts the effect of adding this inhibitor to a culture of plant cells?
Plant cells will be unable to perform glycolysis due to the inhibitor and will die.

Answer:

Plant cells will be unable to perform glycolysis due to the inhibitor and will die.

Explanation:

Glucose is  a high energy stable compound.Therefore in order to extract the stored energy for cellular use, it must be broken down. The addition of inorganic Phosphate ions(Pi) to 6-carbon glucose compound in the presence of 2ATP  molecules is called Phosphorylation. This phosphorylation  reaction is catalyse by Hexokinase.

The 6C-glucose is spitted to  6C-Fructose phosphate, and  to 6C-fructose biphophate. The later is converted to 2molecules of 3Carbon compounds called triose phosphate.

It is during the  conversion of 2-molecules of 3C- triphosphate  to Pyruvate  that yields 2 ATPs per molecule of glucose.

Therefore if  hexokinase is inhibited ,  then the glucose phosphorylation can not occur. Hence the sequence of events as Glycolytic pathways that leads to  production of ATP during   formation of Pyruvate can not occur.

Definitely, plant cells biochemical reactions will seize, glycolytic pathways will  be inhibited,  ATPs will not be synthesized,leading to plant cells  deaths.

How has science and technology influenced everyday life? <br> Explain
aliya0001 [1]

Science and technology have influenced everyday life for thousands of years. If it hadn't we would still be living in caves and struggling to stay alive. Everything you see around you is a form of technology. Science itself can be considered a form of technology because it has helped us advance as humans and become more able to overcome disease and predators. Most humans today wake up and are subjected to technology's control because we've fed into it so much that it would extremely hard, if not impossible, for us to survive without it.

Describe the general types of diagnostic tests used to diagnose patients infected with HIV.
GenaCL600 [577]

AIDS

This disease leads to death by weakening the immune system of the human body.  Common symptoms are related to the nervous system like dementia, anxiety, depression and insomnia.

TESTS

The tests for AIDS are discussed below.

The most common test for any disease is the blood test.  

When human body is infected with the virus, the body produces anti-bodies to combat this infection. The blood test is positive if these anti-bodies are present in the blood sample of the infection person. However, it takes time for these anti-bodies to appear in the blood stream, hence, blood test should be done at regular intervals.

The tests specifically developed for AIDS are as follow.

ELISA or Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

If this test is positive, this is followed by a Western Blot test. The blot test is done in order to confirm the disease.

As said before, anti bodies take time to develop. If the test is done during this phase, it will be negative despite of the presence of virus in the blood stream.

HOME

Only one home test is approved. This is called Home Access Express Test. The kit of this home test is available at pharmacies.

SALIVA

The saliva from the patient’s cheek is obtained on a cotton pad. This pad is put in a vial which is then sent to the lab for testing.  If the result is positive, blood test is done to confirm the disease.

VIRAL LOAD

As the name suggests, this test measures the quantity of virus present in the blood. This test is done to either test the presence of HIV or to track the progress of the treatment of HIV.

WESTERN BLOT

This test is done when the result of ELSA test is positive. This test confirms the disease.

All the above test if turn out negative and the patient still doesn’t recovers, this testing should be done periodically until the disease is confirmed.
