RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c, that is, lactic acid.

Explanation:

One can determine the anaerobic function of muscles by observing the levels of lactic acid buildup in muscles. The production of lactic acid in muscles takes place by the process of anaerobic respiration. At the time of rigorous training or exercise, one requires more amount of energy for a short burst of time.  

As oxygen is already used for higher purposes in the body, the levels of oxygen get reduced for performing any more activities. Thus, in order to generate more energy the process of anaerobic respiration takes place. Anaerobic respiration is the form of respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen. In the process, one molecule of glucose gets transformed into two molecules of lactic acid, which gets accumulated in the muscles. This production of lactic acid provides a quick form of energy, which is utilized at the time of intense training and thus, one can check the anaerobic functioning of the muscles by observing the levels of lactic acid in the muscles.

Would the correct protein be made if TRNA did not work correctly?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The short answers are Yes, it's random, and Yes, it "waits" for some time.

Different tRNA's just float around in the cytoplasma, and diffuse more or less freely around. When one happens to bump into the ribosome, at the right spot, right orientation, and of course which has an anticodon matching the codon in frame of the mRNA being translated, it gets bound and takes part in the synthesis step that adds the amino acid to the protein that is being synthesized.

The concentration of the various species of tRNA is such that translation occurs in a steady fashion, but there is always some waiting involved for a suitable tRNA to be bound. In that waiting time, the ribosome and mRNA stay aligned - that's because the energy that is required to move the to the next position is delivered as part of the same chemical reaction that transfers the amino acid from the tRNA to the protein that is being synthesized.

I'm not entirely sure what happens if there is significant depletion of a particular species of tRNA, but I think it's likely the ribosome / RNA complex can disassemble spontaneously. But spontaneous disassembly can't be something that occurs very easily after translation was initiated, since we would end up with lots of partial proteins which I expect would be lethal very soon.

(Can't know for sure though, but it would be very hard to set up an experiment to measure just what will happen and even if you got a measurement it would be hard to figure out how it applies to normal, living cells. I can't imagine tRNA depletion occurs in normal, healthy living cells.)

How is prophase, metaphase and anaphase of mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II different or the same?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The two main processes of cell division, meiosis and mitosis, have in common their main steps. In both cases the metaphase ( pairing of homologous chromosomes), anaphase (migration of chromosomes to the ends) and telophase (beginning of DNA decondensation and cell division) are very similar.

The greatest difference occurs in prophase I of the meiosis, which involves the process of recombination (cross over), resulting in variability in the gametes.

Another difference is that meiosis is a reductional process, where the final result of meiosis will be gamens with half of the genetic information, and in mitosis both cells will be equal.
