you may have read about alkaline diets that claim that you need to only eat alkaline foods in order to remain healthy according

to this philosophy eating acidic Foods acidifies the blood leading to disease but our blood has several buffer systems in place explain what happens when buffers encounter additional hydrogen ions from foods will the pH of the blood decrease

Answer:

Mechanisms are activated where it is sought to lower the amount of free protons in the blood, that is, to reduce acidity, these mechanisms work between two large systems, the receptor system, the respiratory system and the renal system.

Explanation:

When a metabolic acidosis is entered, either by a food, or by a disease or even an intense physical activity, the lungs seek to generate hyperventilation, to increase the concentrations of oxygen in plasma and absolutely decrease the carbon dioxide concentration, thus not the blood becomes even more acidic.

On the other hand, the digestive system together with the sensory system, will warn this proprioception of the acidity of the plasma and will promote the dilution of these acids with a solvent, which is water, promoting the sensation of thirst.

Finally, the kidneys will seek to retain all the alkaline solutes to neutralize the physiological internal pH, and will release through the urine and the channels of acidic compounds, the products or acid metabolites to the external environment, that is, acid urine excretion.

The burning of coal, a fossil fuel, produces water and carbon dioxide. How is this similar to cellular respiration?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:Both release carbon into the atmosphere, but burning fossil fuels releases CO2 at a much greater amount.

Both cellular respiration and combustion require a core fuel for the process to happen at all.

Answer:

Normal Strand: alanine - methionine - histidine
Mutated Strand: glutamine - cysteine - no third amino acid.

Explanation:

<h3>mRNA Structure</h3>

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is the RNA that is used in cells for protein synthesis. It has a single strand made by the transcription of DNA by RNA polymerase. It contains four nucleotides: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Uracil (U).

<h3>DNA Replication</h3>

Before transcribing, we need to create the complementary strand of the DNA. We're going to write out the nucleotides of the complementary strand by matching the nucleotides in these pairs: (A & T) and (C & G).

              Normal Strand: GCA ATG CAC
Complementary Strand: CGT TAC GTG

Next, we can transcribe this to find our mRNA. We're going to do the same thing to the complementary DNA strand, but with Uracils instead of Thymines. So our pairs are: (A & U) and (C & G)

Complementary DNA Strand: CGT TAC GTG
                        mRNA Strand: GCA AUG CAC

You'll notice that the mRNA strand is almost exactly like the new mRNA strand, but with Uracil instead of Thymine.

<h3>Reading Codons</h3>

Each set of three nucleotides is known as a codon, which encodes the amino acids that ribosomes make into proteins. To read the codons, you need to have a chart like the one I attached. Start in the middle and work your way to the edge of the circle. Some amino acids have multiple codons. There are also "stop" and "start" codons that signify the beginning and ends of proteins.

mRNA Strand: GCA AUG CAC
Amino Acids:   Ala   Met   His

Our sequence is alanine, methionine, and histidine.

<h3>Frameshift Mutations</h3>

A frameshift mutation occurs when a nucleotide is either added or removed from the DNA. It causes your reading frame to shift and will mess up every codon past where the mutation was. This is different than a point mutation, where a nucleotide is <em>swapped</em> because that will only mess up the one codon that it happened in. Frameshift mutations are usually more detrimental than point mutations because they cause wider spread damage.

<h3>Mutated Strand</h3>

Let's repeat what we did earlier on the mutated strand to see what changed.

              Mutated Strand: CAA TGC AC
Complementary Strand: GTT ACG TG
---
Complementary DNA Strand: GTT ACG TG
                        mRNA Strand: CAA UGC AC
---
mRNA Strand: CAA UGC AC
Amino Acids:   Glu   Cys   X
---
Our amino acid sequence is glutamine, cysteine, and no third amino acid.

As you can see, removing the first nucleotide of the strand caused every codon to change. The last codon is now incomplete and won't be read at all. If this happened in a cell, the protein that was created from this mutated strand would be incorrect and may not function completely or at all.

The number of organisms in a food pyramid decrease as the tropical level
Aleonysh [2.5K]

You need to recognize that the higher on the food chain, the fewer the number of organisms that occupy that level. This is because of the energy that is available from one level to the next has to decrease since it is used for life's processes.

In your own words, explain the role of scientific investigation in the development of the Theory of Adaptation.
Pavel [41]
The scientific investigation is the systematic approach of the scientists to answer the questions about the world. It is applied almost all of the theories including the Theory of Natural Selection. Darwin's theory of evolution is a result of scientific investigation. In this theory, they investigate by observing the distribution of species.
