Answer:
Genus = Elephas
Species = maximus
Explanation:
Carolus Linnaeus, who is considered to be the FATHER OF TAXONOMY for his immense contribution to the classification of living organisms. Carolus Linnaeus between the year 1735 and 1758, developed a scientific system of naming organisms using two-way naming system called BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.
The two Latin names given to organisms were derived from their generic and specific epithet i.e. one of the names is GENUS and the other SPECIES. According to this question, the scientific name using the binomial naming system for Indian elephant is Elephas maximus. This means that Elephas is the part that refers to GENUS while maximus is the part that refers to SPECIES.
Answer:
a. Acetyl CoA carboxylase
Explanation:
Much of the fatty acids used by the body is supplied by the diet, excessive amounts of carbohydrates and protein obtained from the diet can be converted to fatty acids and stored as triglycerides. Fatty acid synthesis occurs mainly in the liver and mammary glands, and to a lesser extent in adipose tissue and kidney, the process incorporates acetyl CoA carbons into the forming fatty acid chain using ATP and NADPH.
The acetyl portion of acetyl CoA is transported to cytosol as citrate, produced by condensation of oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA, the first reaction of the citric acid cycle, this occurs when the concentration of mitochondrial citrate is high, observed when there is a high concentration of ATP and isocitrate dehydrogenase is inhibited. The increase of citrate and ATP favors the synthesis of fatty acids, since this pathway needs both. Acetyl CoA should be converted to malonyl CoA. Carboxylation is catalyzed by acetyl CoA carboxylase and requires ATP, this reaction is the regulated step in fatty acid synthesis: it is inactivated by products, malonyl CoA and palmitoyl CoA, and activated by citrate, another regulatory mechanism is reversible phosphorylation of enzyme, which makes it inactive due to the presence of adrenaline / glucagon
Answer:
32%
Explanation:
According to Chargaff in his complementary base pairing rule, he stated that the proportion of purine and pyrimidine bases is equal to 100%
That is, A + T + G + C = 100%
Where A=T and G=C i.e the proportion of each base pair is equal.
Hence, if the Guanine content is 18%, it means the Cytosine content of that DNA molecule must also be 18%. Therefore:
18 + 18 + A + T = 100
A + T = 100 - 36
A + T = 64
If the sum proportion of Adenine and Thymine is 64% and each must contain equal proportions, A or T = 64/2 = 32
Hence, Adenine contains 32%, likewise Thymine.
