Beriberi is caused by a deficiency of thiamine in the diet.

Biology
1 answer:
denis23 [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Thiamine pyrophosphate  (derived from vitamin B1) is a coenzyme required for the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. During aerobic cellular respiration, pyruvate is oxidatively decarboxylated into acetyl CoA which in turn enters the Kreb's cycle. Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is carried out by enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). The first step is simple decarboxylation and is catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase of the PDH complex.

The enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase and has a tightly bound coenzyme, thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate is derived from vitamin B1. Lack of vitamin B1 in the human diet leads to beriberi that is characterized by an increased concentration of pyruvate in blood urine since oxidative decarboxylation cannot occur due to lack of the coenzyme thiamine pyrophosphate.

2. If a cell has a very large amount of ribosomes attached to its rough
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Protein

Explanation

Ribosome and Rough E.R are organelles  in the cell.

E.R are extensive membranes (which are continuous with the nuclear membrane) that exist as flattened compartment in the cytoplasm.These compartment form sacs in the cytoplasm. The sacs are interconnected with one another to form a complete system  called the reticulum.

Based on structure two types of E.R exists -the Smooth E.R and the Rough Endoplasmic reticulum.The later is called rough because of Ribosomes attached to its outer membrane. the smooth lacks ribosomes attachment on its outer membrane. Ribosomes are the site of Protein synthesis in the cell.

They are small in number and are made up of RNA and protein.Generally the protein  synthesised  in the Ribosomes,are moved into the sacs in the R.E.R,where they are modified.They are eventually budded off in vesicles which form the Golgi bodies

Which biological scenario(s) best describes phenotypic plasticity for a trait?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

C) II and III only

Explanation:

Option 1 is not an example of phenotypic plasticity because each person is born with their own blood type and this doesn't change based on their environment and behavior.

Option 2 is an example of phenotypic plasticity because a person's red blood cell counts can increase based on their environment, i.e. moving to Denver, CO from Death Valley, CA. The higher elevation and decreased oxygen causes your body to produce more red blood cells.

Option 3 is an example of phenotypic plasticity because one twin can be taller than another because of differing behaviors, environments, etc.

Using Grime’s Triangle as a framework, discuss how natural selection and trade-offs work to form the niche of species.
Jobisdone [24]

Natural selection affects the scope of the niche of a given species. Moreover, trade-offs are associated with differences in traits that also may affect the niche of a species.

<h3>Natural selection and trade-offs </h3>

Natural selection refers to the differential survival or reproduction of individuals in particular environmental conditions.

The different niches occupied by species are mainly a consequence of differential trade-offs among species, i.e., by differential phenotypic features that generate negative correlations among species.

Grime’s Triangle is based on the associations (trade-off) between adaptation to productivity and/or competition, stressful environments (habitats) and disturbance.
