Chronic wasting disease

What was the effect of thyroxine injections on the hypophysectomized rat's bmr? how does the bmr in this case compare with the n
denis23 [38]
Thyroxine is a hormone that is  secreted by the thyroid gland to the blood stream. BMR is the basal metabolic rate that is affected by the levels of thyroxine hormone in the system. Hypophysectomy is the removal of the pituitary gland from an organism, in this case the rats. BMR rate of the rat seemed to increase with the injection of thyroxine however the BMR was still lower than the BMR of a normal rat with the thyroid gland  and the dose was too low.

The enzymes catalase and malate dehydrogenase are both classified as oxidoreductases. Catalase has a heme group present at its c
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

one uses metal ion catalysis, while the other uses a nonmetal group to transfer electrons

Explanation:

A prosthetic group is a non-peptide (non-protein) component of a conjugated protein, which is covalently linked to the protein and is required for its activity. A heme group is a prosthetic group composed of a protoporphyrin ring and an iron atom in the center. Catalase is a tetramer composed of 4 heme groups which allow the enzyme to react with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in order to catalyze its decomposition to water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). Moreover, a cofactor is a non-protein compound and/or metallic ion that is required by an enzyme for its activity. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme involved in oxidation-reduction chemical reactions by carrying electrons from one reaction to another. NAD exists in two different states: an oxidized state (NAD+) and a reduced state (NADH, H for hydrogen).
