5 0

In the Nitrogen cycle there are basically four steps and bacteria is involved in three steps of the N-cycle namely – Nitrogen fixation, Ammonification and De-Nitrification.

The Decomposers bacteria are involved in the ammonification process, where they convert organic waste, rich in nitrogen into simpler compounds usually ammonia which is further broken down into nitrite and nitrate. This process usually occurs in the absence of light and oxygen by anaerobic/facultative bacterias.

The two chemical families to which most antipsychotic drugs belong are ____.

Hatshy [7]

Out of the following given choices;

a.phenothiazines and butyrophenones<span>
b. tricyclics and MAOIs
c. nitrates and glucocorticoids
d. benzodiazepines and antihistamines</span>

The answer is a. butyrophenones work by inhibiting dopamine-mediated neuro-transmitters hence altering the normal thought pattern of its patients. They are more anti-dopamine (and less anti-adrenergic, anti-histaminic and anti-cholinergic) than phenothiazine but work in the same pharmacological way.

Suppose you discovered a mutant yeast whose glycolytic pathway was shorter because of the presence of a new enzyme catalyzing th

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is the formation of pyruvate from glucose willl be energetically less favorable.

Explanation:

According to the question matunt yeast has a shorter glycolytic pathay catalysing a follwing reaction

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate+H2O+NAD+ = 3-phosphoglycerate

So in the mutatant the formation of 1,3- bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is directly converted into 3-phosphoglycerate.

As a result the substrate level phosphorylation step that deals with formation of 3-phosphoglycerate from 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.

From this point of view it can be said that less energy will be formed in the mutant during glycolysis than that of normal one.

So the formation of pyruvate from glucose will be energetically less favorable.
