Within the human body, different cells have different characteristics or phenotypes. For example, neurons look and behave very d

ifferently from hepatocytes (liver cells). How can this be explained considering that all cells within a person were derived from the same starting cell?

Answer:

different proteins

Explanation:

All the cells of the body are derived from same cell still different cells have different characteristics or phenotypes. For example, the hemoglobin is present in RBCs only not in any other cell. This is because of a process called gene expression.

This process regulates expression or repression of different set of genes. This makes embryonic cells to become specialized cells that is to perform a specific function. The gene contains DNA which gets transcribed to RNA and then to proteins. The different proteins provides different specificity to cell.

Which of the following is TRUE about this reaction?
hoa [83]

The right answer is C

This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).

Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.

Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).

NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.

Today, jill consumes 1,600 total kilocalories. she eats 50 grams of protein. the percentage of jill's total energy intake that c
Kruka [31]
The answer is 12.5%.
Each gram of protein has four calories. Therefore, 50 grams of protein contain 200 calories. In order to find the percentage of total energy intake that comes from protein, we need to do the division: 200/1600 * 100 = 12.5. Protein is needed for body growth and maintenance and energy.
