Answer:

species.

Explanation:

Taxonomy can be defined as the process of naming, classification and description of living organisms such as plants and animals. Thus, it is the biological classification of living organisms based on similarities or characteristics such as eyes, number of legs, etc.,

The eight (8) biological classification (taxonomy) used for grouping and organizing organisms are; kingdom, domain, phylum, family, order, class, genus and species.

In taxonomy, species refers to the basic unit of naming that includes members such as mammals and reptiles with the ability to reproduce with each other to birth new offsprings and exchange genetic informations. Some examples of species include Homosapiens, Vulpes, Elephas maximus, Pinus banksiana, Alces laces, Ursus americans, Canis lupus, etc.

In conclusion, taxonomy helps scientist to have good understanding and knowledge when studying various organisms.

Sometimes, pregnant women are very emotional. This is believed to be caused by extra estrogen and progesterone that are released

Strike441 [17]

Activational effect is the correct answer.

Activational effect is an impermanent hormonal effect that leads to a change in physiological activity or behavior in both humans and adult animals. For instance, when testosterone levels rise in male songbirds they become more aggressive and tend to engage in courtship behavior. Also, a pregnant woman may get more emotional than usual due to an extra level of progesterone and estrogen during pregnancy.

Answer:

I feel it's to easily differentiate the positive from the negative...... like in gram staining of bacteria, the colour tell us which bacteria is gram positive or gram negative...... I just feel that this is science and it is advisable to know what the opposite result of an experiment should look like.

Some amino acids are both glucogenic and ketogenic. Explain the difference between the two types and why some amino acids can be

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

From the point of view of the type of molecule that is obtained after the degradation of the hydrocarbon skeleton, amino acids can be classified as: glucogenic and ketogenic. The main difference between glucogenic amino acids and ketogenic amino acids is that glucogenic amino acids can be converted to pyruvate or other glucose precursors, while ketogenic amino acids can be converted to acetyl CoA and acetoacetylCoA.

Explanation:

Glucogenic amino acids are amino acids that break down to pyruvate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl Co-A, fumarate, and oxaloacetate and are so named because the synthesis of glucose from these molecules is feasible. Both pyruvate and the Krebs cycle intermediates noted above can be converted to phosphoenolpyruvate and subsequently glucose through gluconeogenesis.Ketogenic amino acids are the amino acids that generate acetyl-CoA or acetacetyl-CoA and are called by this name because they can cause ketone bodies. Since mammals lack the proper enzyme system, these compounds can never be used as precursors for glucose biosynthesis. Of the twenty universal amino acids, fourteen are purely glucogenic and two are purely ketogenic (leucine and lysine). The remaining four (isoleucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine) are glucogenic and ketogenic simultaneously since a part of the hydrocarbon skeleton originates precursors for the biosynthesis of glucose (pyruvate or Krebs cycle intermediates) and the other part acetyl-CoA or acetacetyl -CoA.
