If the sugar has a carbonyl group within the carbon skeleton, we call it?

Biology

Alex777 [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Ketose

Explanation:

Monosaccharides also known as simple sugars are usually represented in a linear chain with a carbon skeleton. All the carbons present with the exception of one have a hydroxyl group that can be attached on either side of the skeleton.

Aldehyde sugars or aldoses such as glucose and galactose have a carbonyl group that is present at the end of the carbon skeleton. Monosaccharides also known as "ketone sugars", example fructose have their carbonyl group located at other parts of the carbon skeleton.

When the acetyl-CoA produced during -oxidation in the liver exceeds the capacity of the citric acid cycle, the excess acetyl-Co
Oliga [24]

Answer:

There is a need to transform the accumulation of acetyl-CoA into the ketone bodies, as one knows that acetyl-CoA is both labile and possess an enormous amount of energy. Hence, acetyl-CoA due to its unstable characteristic is not ideal for circulation within the tissues, and at the same time, the compound acetyl-CoA does not possess the tendency to pass through the cell membrane.  

Due to these reasons, the conversion of acetyl-CoA into the ketone bodies is done, the ketone bodies also act as an alternative source of energy. The ketone bodies work as water-soluble correspondents of fatty acids. The production of ketone bodies generally takes place within the liver cells' mitochondrial matrix. The three forms of ketone bodies are beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone.  

The production of ketone bodies by the liver cells helps the cells of the brain at the time of starvation, as the brain cannot use fatty acids as an energy source, as the fatty acids cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier.

Which is TRUE for the cells that are formed by the end of Meiosis II?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B 4 cells are formed,each having half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a specific type of cell division that occur in the germ cells.Meiosis is called reductional division because the 4 new cells those are produced after second meiotic division contain half the number of chromosomes as that of original cells.

   During meiosis a cell undergo division two times the division that occur during first time is called first meiotic division resulting in the formation of 2 cells having 2n number of chromosomes.On the other hand the second meiotic division form 4 cells each having half the number of chromosomes.
