In most hypotheses of early Earth and the formation of life, it is accepted that the atmosphere was a reducing one. This means t

hat there was an abundance of methane, ammonia, and water vapor, but there was an absence of significant amounts of oxygen gas. Based on this assumption, what was likely the first metabolic activity to harness ATP to evolve in primitive cells?
A) Photosynthesis, as plants evolved before animals
B) Cellular respiration, as this generates the most ATP
C) Glycolysis, as this does not require organelles not oxygen
D) Calvin cycle, as glucose was required by all cells for metabolism

Answer:

C

Explanation:

It is believed that glycolysis – the first phase of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells- is considered an ancient biochemical process that early organisms utilized to tap the energy required for cell functions. This is because the process does not require oxygen – because early conditions on earth were anoxic before the great oxygenation event.  It is after the great oxygenation event that the Krebs cycle evolved.

AZT is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor. How does this drug prevent the replication of a retrovirus
Artemon [7]

Answer:

AZT is a thymidine analog

Explanation:

Azidothymidine (AZT) is an antiviral drug used for the treatment of the Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV/AIDS) by preventing the transmission of HIV from infected cells. AZT is capable of suppressing the activity of the enzyme reverse transcriptase of the retroviral HIV genome, which enables it to copy RNA into DNA. In infected cells, this double-stranded DNA is integrated into the host genome which is then instructed to produce identical HIV copies. AZT is a thymidine analog that is incorporated into DNA and thus interferes with DNA synthesis, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation.
