Answer:

The correct answer is A. The statement is true.

Explanation:

Muscle obtains ATP from glycolysis. When exercise conditions are anaerobic, glucose is degraded to lactate. Lactate is exported into the circulation and is taken up by the liver. The liver synthesizes glucose again from lactate via the gluconeogenic pathway. These two metabolic pathways that allow the coupling of the function of two tissues is what is known as the Cori cycle. The energy cost is 4 P bonds / each glucose that travels both glycolytic-gluconeogenic pathways.

How could life on Earth change if both Carbon Dioxide and Ozone levels began to decrease? Describe at least two ways life would
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Increase occur in skin diseases and decrease occurs in the Earth's average temperature.

Explanation:

If both Carbon Dioxide and Ozone levels began to decrease, increase occur in skin diseases and decrease occurs in the Earth's average temperature. The decrease in ozone levels allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface which lead to various diseases such as skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. The atmospheric carbondioxide gas is responsible for the increase of surface temperature by trapping reflected solar radiations so decrease in carbondioxide concentration will leads to lower surface temperature.

Which of the chains of amino acids corresponds to the nucleotide sequence aauggcuac
maxonik [38]
The sequence AAU GGC UAC is composed of three codons each of which codes for a different amino acid. AAU codes for the amino acid called threonine. GGC codes for the amino acid called glycine UAC codes for the amino acid called tyrosine. So the chain will read  threonine-glycine-tyrosine. There are 64 possible 3 - letter combinations of DNA coding units A, C, G and T. Of these, there are three stop or non- sense codons that do not code for any amino acid, while the remaining 61 code for different amino acids.

umka21 [38]
Hundreds of years ago, explorers often died of scurvy. This bone-related disease be prevented by C) supplementing the diet with fresh fruit rich in vitamin C.

What do gradualism and punctuated equilibrium have in common?
Nezavi [6.7K]
That they are both theories of evolutionary change, but the tempo of the change is different enough that we have the two theories. Rapid evolutionary change punctuated with long periods of stasis describes the former while gradual and incremental change over long periods is the description of the later. Natural selection seems to be more important in gradualism than punctuation, but this is <span>a murky area that is argued about often.</span>
