A population of white, grey, and black lizards lives on a volcanic island, and each phenotypic color has an equal chance of surv

ival. However, after the latest
volcanic eruption, 75 percent of the island was covered with volcanic ash and hardened lava flows. This event caused the black lizards to be naturally selected
over the white and grey lizards. This change is an example of what type of microevolution?
A) stabilizing selection
B) normal distribution
C) directional selection
D) disruptive selection

I would say disruptive selection, because the sudden eruption of the volcano disrupted the circumstances of the lizards, allowing the black ones to survive better because of camouflage against the black rock.

Hope this helps!

Once amylase has broken down starch, can it break down another starch molecule?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Yes, amylase can be reused, and when fulfills its catalytic function, it is free to catalyze the breakdown of another starch molecule.

Explanation:

Amylase is an enzyme capable of catalyzing the breakdown of starch bonds, separating it into glucose molecules.

The enzymes, including amylase, have the property of being free and without structural alteration when catalyzing a reaction, to bind to the specific substrate and catalyze a new reaction.

Amylase is not consumed, unlike a reagent, so it can be reused in new reactions.

Provided that there's no diagram, most molecules have particular areas on the molecules, called the "active area" that act as a lock to a particular substrate's molecular structure, providing the key. 
An enzyme's active area is only able to be "unlocked" by a certain substrate's "key".

The metabolic fate of fatty acids is dependent on two enzymes, carnitine acyltransferase i and acetyl-coa carboxylase. carnitine
zvonat [6]

The correct answer is the last statement.

If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.

It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.

In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
