Answer:

Aerobic metabolism of amino acid requires deamination

Explanation:

Living system can be defined as the internal systems of organisms and how materials circulate within organisms.

Generally, these living systems are self-organized life forms and are known to be very much interactive with their surroundings or environment. Also, living systems are dependent on the flow of information, matter and energy at various levels.

Some examples of living systems in organisms are respiratory system, nervous system, digestive system, and circulatory system.

Additionally, living systems comprises of the following components; cells, organs, muscle, tissues, blood, etc., which are typically used for carrying out various bodily functions such as respiration, digestion, metabolism, etc.

Metabolism can be defined as a set of chemical processes carried out by a living organism such as humans, plants and animals, in order to sustain life.

Aerobic (oxygen-using) metabolism can be defined as a biological process that typically involves the extraction of energy from any carbohydrate source such as amino acids, fatty acids, etc.

Basically, an aerobic metabolism of amino acid is a process that requires deamination.

Generally, proteins comprises of amino acids and it is responsible for maintaining the proper functioning of the body system.

Transamination can be defined as a biochemical process which typically involves the removal of amino groups from amino acids and transferring them to a ketoacid (amino acid without an amine group), so as to form new amino acids.

Basically, transamination is a reversible oxidation-reduction reaction that is responsible for the deamination of amino acids.

What are frankenfoods? Are Genetically Modefied foods safe?
barxatty [35]

Opponents of GMOs have been unceasing in their campaign to vilify genetically modified foods by describing them as “Frankenfoods,” thus implying they are not natural and are potentially harmful.

“The practice of introducing new DNA and chemicals to seeds or animals (Aqua Advantage has developed a GMO fish) is similar to how Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein created his monster–—through piecing together lots of different organisms,” wrote the Organic Authority on its website—a common allusion in the anti-GMO world. “We all know what happened when the monster turned on Frankenstein, and many critics of genetic engineering have likened the inevitable backlash of GMO technology to the destruction and murderous rampage of Frankenstein’s monster.”

Many anti-GMO articles that warn of the dangers GM crops are often accompanied by an image of a tomato fruit or vegetable with syringes sticking out of them. Very often it is a fruit or vegetable for which there is no current GM equivalent such as a tomato. This depiction is used to reinforce the notion that GM foods are created in laboratories and not by nature and therefore are dangerous to consume.

With the constant barrage of scare-based imagery, it is not surprising that there is widespread public suspicion that GMOs are dangerous to human health. But there is little controversy surrounding GMOs within the scientific community with 88 percent of the members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science believing GMOs are “generally safe.” The safety of GMOs were once again reinforced by the May 2016 report by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, which concluded, there was “reasonable evidence that animals were not harmed by eating food derived from genetically engineered crops”, and epidemiological data indicated there was no increase in cancer or other health related problems associated with these crops entering our food supply.

David Zilberman, a professor of agriculture and resource economics at the University of California, Berkley, has noted that Frankenfood was “a terrible word, a stigmatization word, one that’s used to scare people… People are afraid of GMOs for little or no reason. GM is simply a tool. Because it allows us to modify plants with far greater precision and control then before, it will be very valuable.”

The reality is that the vast bulk of the foods we consume whether organic or conventionally grown have had their genetics altered in the field or in a laboratory via a process of selective breeding or advanced biotechnology techniques, and all such foods are safe to eat. The altering of genes in plants is even known to occur naturally as highlighted by the sweet potato.

Could receiving extra chromosomes happen to the tasmanian devil? Why or why not?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Yes, extra chromosomes can be received by the tasmanian devil.

Explanation:

Extra chromosomes can be received by the tasmanian devil due to tumor disease in the tasmanian devil. In the beginning the old genome of tasmanian devil has 13 chromosomes but with the tumor disease, it receives one extra chromosome and completed 14 chromosomes. Tumor occurs when the dead cells are not removed from the body and the new ones are formed.

The gonads are reproductive organs responsible for the production of
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The gonads are reproductive organs responsible for the production of <u>gametes (sex cells) in their external secretion and in their internal secretion, hormones that exert their action on the organs involved in reproductive function.</u>

Explanation:

Gonads are glands that are part of two body systems: the endocrine system and the reproductive system; and there are two types of gonads: male and female, the first are the testicles and the second the ovaries and both produce steroid hormones (derived from cholesterol) exactly the same as those produced by the cortex of the adrenal glands.
