Lysosomes are known as su*cide bags of cells.

Given the preliminary diagnosis of furious rabies, how should you proceed with the nurse who your patient bit?
Damm [24]
Wash the wound with soap and water. Administer vaccination. If the patient who bit the nurse had furious rabies, the patient was excited and hyperactive. The patient will die in a few days. Human to human transmission through bites is potentially possible, but has never been confirmed, according to the World Health Organization. Still, rabies causes death, so wash the nurse's wound thoroughly for 15  minutes with soap, water, detergent and iodine, administer rabies vaccine and administer immunoglobulin against rabies.

It is true that studies of animals show that they play only when the physical survival needs have been met; however, there is growing evidence that for children, play is crucial in terms of biological evolution as well as individual development.

Answer:

A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).

Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.

Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism

Start with the P generation with the following genotypes (AA x aa). Based on classical Mendelian inheritance, how will a cross b
V125BC [204]

Answer: The correct answer is C) Although the F1 generation will all show the dominant trait, the offspring will all be heterozygous and increase chances of future variation.

According to Mendelian inheritance, true breeding parents ( which are homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive) for dominant and recessive allele will always result into offsprings with heterozygous dominant genotype.

As per the question, genotype of P ( parental ) generation is AA and aa. When they are crossed together, they result into Aa offsprings, which all exhibit dominant character/ phenotype. These offsprings will increase the chances of future variation.
