Biology

Answer:

Biomolecules are crucial to the storage of energy energy in the body.

Biomolecules conserve energy using covalent chemical bonds.

Explanation

A covalent bond in chemistry refers to a chemical bond that is formed when two atoms share a pair each of electrons.

So some of these molecules which have high energy (such as glycogen and triglycerides) are able to keep or store such energy in the form of covalent chemical bonds. Examples of energy-rich biomolecules are:  

  • glycogen and
  • triglycerides

Cells synthesize such molecules and store them for later release of the energy.

Answer: B. Carbohydrates are used for short-term energy storage, and lipids are used for long-term energy storage.

Explanation:

Humans and animals use carbohydrates for short-term energy storage and are stored as glycogen which can be broken down into glucose when energy is needed.

Lipids are used for long-term energy and are stored as fats in the body. These fats can be broken into fatty acids when the body needs energy.

The ability to replace the wildtype alleles with a knockout allele in mice has enabled researchers to carry out important revers
sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct statements are,:

B. Resistance to the anti-viral drug ganciclovir indicates that homologous recombination has occurred.

C. Homologous recombinants of the knockout alleles are desired since they will replace the wildtype allele

E. The embryonic stem cells carrying homologous recombinants of the knockout allele are placed back into a blastocyst and injected into a surrogate mother to produce mice carrying the knockout allele.

Explanation:

<u>wrong statements</u>

A. Illegitimate recombinants have the knockout allele randomly inserted and do not replace the wildtype alleles and may potentially insert into other genes and confound the analysis

D. Resistance to neomycin indicates insertion of the knockout allele but does not distinguish between homologous and non-homologous recombinants

A and D are wrong statement due to the fact that Cells that were transformed with a vector containing the neomycin gene and the herpes tk+ gene are grown in a solution that contains neomycin and Ganciclovir in order to distinguish  the transformations that occured through homologous recombination. Any DNA insertion that occurred through  random insersion( illegitimate recombinant) will die because the tests positive for both  neomycin resistant gene and herpes tk+ gene whose gene product reacts with Ganciclovir to produce deadly toxins.
