Answer:

Explanation:

brain-

Glucose is the major fuel for the brain metabolism to supply energy for synaptic transmissions. Average of -120g/day.However during hypoglacemia, keto bodies can be used by the brain for energy supply.

the fuel stores of the brain is very low because of high biochemical activities of the brain  which need to  be supplied with  contant fuel.Although it stores little Glycogen, most fuel supply to the brain is from the circulating glucose in the blood.

Heart.

the high  energy consuming  activities of the heart ensured that molecules with abundant energy supply e.g fatty acids from lipids digestion is preferred. Keto bodies, acetoacetate and lactate can also be fuel . Glucose is last on the scale of preference for the heart  as fuel.

It does not reserve or export any fuel.

Liver.

the complex metabolic  and multi functional activities  of the liver required constant supply of energy in all available forms. Thus  glucose, Amino acids and fatty acids are sources of fuel for the liver.

The liver fuel reserve is in the form of glycogen which is stimulated by glucagon to convert to glucose during condition of hypoglycemia. Triacylglycerols is another fuel reserve.

Generally as products of metabolic activities in the liver, fatty acid from lipid metabolisms, Glucose from gluconeogenesis, and glycogensis, and ketone bodies are the export sources.

We used the enzyme, taq polymerase, which is derived from the thermus aquaticus bacterium, in our pcr procedure. Why is this enz
wel

The enzyme Taq polymerase is required in the PCR process because it is the main enzyme that synthesizes the new DNA strands complementary to the template strand and without the activity of this enzyme the PCR will be useless and it cannot make the copy of the given strand in any way. Thus, this enzyme is very much necessary for the efficient working of the PCR.

Polymerase Chain Reaction is a very efficient technique that can able to detect and copy even a small amount of DNA by performing a set of reactions at different temperatures.

The PCR process begins with the denaturing of the template strand at 95°C, followed by annealing in which the appropriate primers bind to the single strands of DNA at 50-56°C, followed by extension at 72°C in which the thermostable Taq polymerase synthesizes the strand complementary to the template DNA.

When heat is added to a solid, its particles move _______

A. faster

B. slower

C. closer together

<em>D. the same speed</em>

<h2>(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Answer ♥</h2>

A. (I THINK-)

<h2>Explanation</h2>

When heat is added to an object, the molecules vibrate faster. As they go faster, there is more space in between the molecules.

2. Most mutations are "silent." What does this mean?​
Zielflug [23.3K]

Explanation:

Silent mutations occur when the change of a single DNA nucleotide within a protein-coding portion of a gene does not affect the sequence of amino acids that make up the gene's protein.

What stage of respiration immediately follows the process depicted below? Two pyruvate molecules undergo a chemical reaction, co
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Electron transport chain

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process whereby glucose is broken down in the cell to yield energy in form of ATP. This process, which is important to the metabolic functioning of every organism, occurs in three major stages namely: glycolysis, kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC).

According to this question, a stage of respiration is described as follows:

- Two pyruvate molecules undergo a chemical reaction, combining with coenzyme A to form two acetyl-CoA molecules.

- Two carbon dioxide molecules and two NADH molecules are formed as a result of this process.

The process depicted above is KREB'S CYCLE of cellular respiration, hence, the stage of respiration that immediately follows the process is called ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN (ETC).

Adding an extra nucleotide to a dna sequence produces what type of mutation answers
timama [110]
The addition of an extra nucleotide to a DNA sequence produces a mutation that is called insertion. An insertion mutation can be in various sizes, from one nucleotide base pair to a section of one chromosome inserted into another. When one or more nucleotides are inserted into the genome, the processes of translation and transcription could be disrupted, resulting in altered protein synthesis.
