Answer:

The correct answer is a acyl-carnitine readily cross the mitochondrial inner membrane but the acyl CoA do not.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are activated to form fatty acyl CoA by the help of ATP and CoA SH.But the so formed Acyl CoA cannot cross or pass the inner mitochondrial membrane to enter the mitochondrial matrix to initiate beta oxidation of fatty acid.

   To overcome this problem fatty acyl CoA is converted to acyl carnitine and the so formed acyl carnitine readily crosses the inner mitochondrial membrane and enters the mitochondrial matrix.

What is recombinant dna explain how recombination dna can be used to create insulin
gavmur [86]

rDNA is using genetic cloning to form DNA molecules from different species. in this example you can make the hormone insulin by getting some of the components from one organism and getting the remainder from another organism. Specifically, Insulin has 2 amine chains, so you can get 1 amine chain from one organism, and the other from a different one. Then you can combine them and you'll get insulin.

The bacterium responsible for gastric ulcers, Helicobacter pylori, survives the acidic pH of the stomach surprisingly well. It d
Olegator [25]

Answer:

H. pylori uses the enzyme urease to breakdown urea into ammonia (NH3) & carbon dioxide (CO2), where NH3 can act as a buffer to the acidic solution in the stomach.

Explanation:

<em>H. pylori</em> is a bacteria that has the enzyme urease to breakdown urea into ammonia (NH3) & carbon dioxide (CO2). The compound of interest here would be ammonia, or NH3. NH3 is a base, although relatively weak to other stronger bases, which means it has a pH above 7. In the stomach, the pH is acidic, or below 7. By synthesizing ammonia, <em>H. pylori </em>is able to buffer the stomach solution in a manner so that it isn't entirely acidic, but more toward the basic side, thereby allowing for its survival.

Describe the evolution of modern whales and dolphins using the fossil evidence
HACTEHA [7]
Whales are related back to a hairy, 4-legged land mammal that eventually led to the formation of flippers without phalanges, a blow hole that became more dorsal, and other defining features. All of this has been backed by fossil evidence, especially that found within a certain desert region (can’t remember the name) that has a vast amount of whale fossils from many different time periods
