The answer is an increase in ketones. High ketones in the blood from diabetes type I causes diabetic ketoacidosis. Due to the insensitivity of cells to insulin (or lack of production of insulin in the body by the pancreas), the cells are unable to take in glucose for metabolisms, hence the body breaks down fatty acids and amino acids for energy. The metabolites of fatty acid metabolism and the deamination of amino acids are ketones (keto acids) that decrease the blood’s pH.

Aleks04 [339]

The correct answer is C. Gardeners choose which plants they let reproduced based on the plant traits.

Explanation:

In general, selective breeding involves the intervention of humans in the reproduction of species, this includes mainly plant and animal species. Moreover, in selective breeding, humans choose which specific species or individuals reproduce to favor certain traits. For example, a farmer might allow only the biggest cows to reproduce because this will lead to bigger calves. In this context, the option that shows selective breeding is C because this shows the intervention of humans in reproduction by selecting the individuals that will reproduce.

The enzyme choline acetyltransferase catalyzes the reaction between acetyl-CoA and choline resulting in the formation of the neu
Nady [450]

Answer: Anterograde direction.

Explanation:

Choline acetyltransferase is an enzyme made in the body of a neuron and that needs to be transferred to the axon terminal to perform its function. Its function is to bind acetyl-CoA to choline to form the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

The movement toward the cell body is called retrograde transport and the movement toward the synapse is called anterograde transport. So, since it is produced in the body of the cell and it has to go to the axon terminals, the choline acetyltransferase is transported in the anterograde direction.  

This type of transport is responsible for the movement of organelles such as mitochondria, lipids, synaptic vesicles, proteins from a neuron cell body through the cytoplasm of its axon called the axoplasm. <u>Because axons can sometimes be meters long, neurons cannot rely on diffusion to carry products to the end of their axons</u>. Dynein is a motor protein involved in this retrograde axonal transport. Its light chains bind cargo, and its globular head regions bind the microtubule, "moving forward" along it.
