Which energy transformation occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor?
Andrei [34K]

It is a fact that nuclear energy is converted into thermal energy in the core of a nuclear reactor. This is because it is part of a power plant fission act, where nuclear energy heats up water in a nearby vicinity.

What has to happen before mitosis begins?
Leokris [45]

Mitosis is simply a stage in a cells life cycle, which could be broken down further into stages of mitosis. The rest (so not mitosis) is know as Interphase and is where the cell does its normal function, so if it's the cell is in a region of muscle it would contract/relax as normal etc.

Immediately before mitosis (or M phase) is what's know as G2 phase, where the G stands for growth and is where particular gene pathways are expressed to promote growth of the volume of DNA (chromosomes are duplicated, so from 46 to 92). At the end of this stage is a checking process where the DNA is scrutinised for any errors, if all is okay then the cell can proceed to mitosis, if not then the process is stopped so that errors in copying the DNA can be fixed. This is know as a restriction point and the cell must meet the requirements to pass. This is often seen as a way cells can prevent damage being replicated and therefore interfering with normal cell processes. When cells are cancerous they are able to override this and therefore divide and spread the damaged DNA.

How many high-phosphoryl-transfer-potential molecules are required to synthesize phosphatidylethanolamine from ethanolamine and
valkas [14]

Answer: 3(three)

Explanation:

In the biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine from ethanolamine and triglyceride, 3 high energy molecules are used in the first and second step.

The first steps occur in the cytosol, where ethanolamine is phosphorlated with ATP to give phosphoethanolamine and ADP by the enzyme ethanolamine kinases, and in the next reaction which is the rate-limiting step, phosphoethanolamine react with cytidine triphosphate (CTP) to form cytidine diphosphoethanolamine. In this reaction two molecules of phosphate group is given off.

The third step occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum CDP-ethanolamine react with diacylglycerol to form phosphatidylethanolamine.

The answer is Three high energy molecules. One molecule of ATP to form phosphorylethanolamine and two molecules of ATP to regenerate CTP from CMP.

While there is only one species of Galapagos Island tortoise, there are several subspecies. Larger islands with more wet highlan
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Tortoises with better adaptations in shell shape and leg length were selected to exploit the food resources on each island and, thus, they were capable of having more offspring.

Explanation:

Natural selection can be defined as the process of differential survival and reproduction in a given environment due to differences in their phenotypic traits. Thus, these phenotypic traits are selected to be better adapted to their environment. As a consequence of natural selection, organisms evolve by changing their phenotype frequencies over many generations. In this case, phenotypic differences are expressed as variations in shell shape and leg length, which are adaptive traits that were selected on each island.
