Devices such as a "life-preserving" coffin refers to a container that is equipped with a signaling device where any motion is detected through two mechanisms: a ring slipped around the occupant’s finger and a metal head plate. By fitting the typical hinged lid with a series of levers and springs, which activate via motion-detecting devices in the coffin, ultimately releasing the latch which were connected by wires to the coffin’s opening mechanism, with the slightest movement triggering the lid catch. The life-preserving coffin was a special burial casket which purpose is to was allow those mistakenly buried alive to safely get out. It is designed by Christian Henry Eisenbrandt in 1843. This special burial casket also features a mesh in its lid which would supposedly provide a limited supply of air post-burial.

Catabolic reactions use energy to synthesize large molecules from small molecules.

<h3>What is a catabolic reaction?</h3>

The Catabolic reaction is the action of the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions. Catabolic reactions are a type of metabolic reaction that takes place within a cell. An example of a catabolic reaction is the process of food digestion, where different enzymes break down food particles, so they can be absorbed by the small intestine.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

pyruvate dehydrogenase is the enzyme which catalysis pyruvate to acetyl Co -A. Thus,it  ensures the formation of link reaction/ bridge reaction for linking glycolysis with Citric acid cycle. Therefore, inhibition of this enzyme, prevent link reaction, and there reduction in pyruvate utilization and therefore prevent the  commencements of Citric acid cycle, with consequent  reduction in glucose oxidation. as there is no  reaction of acetyl Co A (from link reaction from pyruvate )   with 4C oxaloacatate in the kreb Cycle to form Citrate in Kreb's cycle. Thus the heart  depends on fatty acid supply for energy.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a. the RNA polymerase undergoes abortive initiation prior to promoter clearance

Explanation:

In eukaryotes the 3' end of the mRNA is polyadenylated to protect the mRNA from degradation.

In eukaryotes, a modified guanine cap is added to the 5' end of the mRNAd to protects the transcript from being broken down.

Most bacterial RNA transcripts do not undergo splicing.

The nucleosome is the basic unit of chromatin repeat in eukaryotes.
