Answer:

It will lose weight

Explanation:

The pyruvate is the product formed by the process of glycolysis by the breakdown of the glucose-mediated by enzymes.

The process of glycolysis take place in the cytosol therefore for further processing or stages of respiration, the pyruvate has to enter the mitochondria which occur through the (H+)/pyruvate symporter.

In the given question condition, if the symporter is blocked then the pyruvate will not enter into the mitochondria as a result of which less ATP will be produced. So the body will use some other sources which can form the pyruvate which can easily enter the mitochondria.

Therefore, the body will begin to lose weight.

In the biology lab, you are shown petri dishes of cheek cell cultures. One set of cells is thin, with individual cells arranged
Sphinxa [80]
The absence of apoptosis which is known as cell death. Additionally. there is an excessive production of cells through cell cycle.
The cell cycle is process by which a cell produces a new similar daughter cell. it composes of two main phases These are called the interphase and m-phase. The interphase has three key stages which are gap 1, s phase and gap 2. And the M-phase is where the cell itself divides with an equal number of chromosomes.

How is a lake or river that freezes over helpful to the organisms in the water?
S_A_V [24]
A lake that freeze over is helpful to the organisms inside the water because, the solid ice serves as a barrier between the water and the cold air above the water. The ice prevents the chilled air surrounding the water body from getting to the organisms inside the water. <span />

Yes she will fall under her doctor's recommendation because she is taking prescribed amount of carbohydrate in one serving which can affect her blood sugar level and dietry fibre will have no effect on sugar level so separate portion can be taken.

Explanation:

Dietary fibres are also carbohydrates called cellulose which is not digested in our bodies. The addition of cellulose is just for adding roughage to the diet as it provides bulk to the diet.

The carbohydrate intake is very important in the meal plan as it readily provides energy. The glucose is the most easily used form of energy from the body in comparision to fat and proteins. The energy yield is 4 calories per 1 gram of carbohydrates.

The recommendations by doctor to Brianna is to have 30 grams of carbohydrate and can have dietry fibre in different portion. Thus, if she eats two servings for the diet she is following the instructions.

The dietry fibre has no effect on her sugar level but carbohydrate increment will cause raise in sugar level as insulin production gets down in diabetics and not using the carbohydrate as fuel.
