m of lipids and amino acids. Which of the following descriptions of S-adenosylmethionine are accurate?
A. The adenosyl group is linked to methionine via C4 and the β carbon of methionine.
B. The methyl group originally attached to the sulfur atom of methionine is transferred to an acceptor.
C. After ATP is cleaved, inorganic phosphate is added to C5 of the intermediate.
D. The transfer of the methyl group from adoMet to an acceptor yields S‑adenosylhomocysteine.

Answer: Option D.

The transfer of the methyl group from adomet to an acceptor yields s adenosylhomocysteine.

Explanation:

S- adenosine methionine is a co substrate and one of the naturally occurring sulfonium ions in the body. It is synthesized from methionine which is abundant in animal derived protein. It is metabolised in the liver where it is converted to S adenosine methionine by the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase. It involve the transfer of methyl group. It is use in medicine as alternative aid to reduce depression.

Which type of population growth is shown in this graph? Population of Bacteria
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Bacterial population shown in the graph is of Exponential type.

Explanation:

When the rate of population increases over time in proportion to the population size,  it is known as exponential growth of population. Bacterial reproduction happens in an hour time span for many bacterial species by splitting itself in half.

This shows how the exponential growth occurs in bacteria. The amount of population gets increased with added organisms in generations of species.
