rusak2 [61]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Pili are short, hair-like structures on the cell surface of prokaryotic cells. They can have a role in movement, but are more often involved in adherence to surfaces, which facilitates infection, and is a key virulence characteristic

Answer: Maybe if you knew the def's you could answer it.

Initial Decay – Bacteria located mainly in the lower intestine begin decomposition, giving a greenish color to the lower abdomen. Stage 2: Putrefaction – Bacteria grow throughout the body, releasing gases, including cadaverine, which in turn bloat the body and cause unpleasant odor.

putrefaction

the process of decay or rotting in a body or other organic matter.

Black putrefaction occurs, which is when noxious odors are released from the body and the parts of the body undergo a black discoloration. 2 weeks: The abdomen is bloated; internal gas pressure nears maximum capacity. 3 weeks: Tissues have softened. Organs and cavities are bursting.

Fermentation occurring in putrefaction and apparently in the digestion of herbivorous mammals in which butyric acid is produced by certain chiefly anaerobic bacteria acting upon various organic substances (such as lactic acid or butter)

A dry body will not decompose efficiently. Moisture helps the growth of microorganisms that decompose the organic matter, but too much moisture could lead to anaerobic conditions slowing down the decomposition process

Why do you think there is a basic difference between the kinds of fertilization most common in aquatic and terrestrial animals?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The basic difference between the kind of fertilization most common in aquatic and terrestrial animal is that terrestrial animal lay their sperm into the environment to fertilize eggs, while aquatic animals lay their eggs in the water bodies in order to carry out the process of fertilization, because the sperm of aquatic animals need water as a medium in order to travel and meet the egg present in the water bodies so that fertilization can occur.

Can a frontal lobe tumor make someone psychotic
mafiozo [28]
To put it simply... Yes. The Frontal lobe controls that basic emotions and thought process, that make you, You. A tumor would definitely interfere with those processes, and you can end up with patients with some form of AMS (altered mental status). They could end up with a biological psychosis, hallucinations, depression and anxiety, Anasecoria (uneven papillary dilation, due to pressure on the optic nerve), Delirium, or Dementia.

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is a feedforward ________ activator of liver pyruvate kinase
Triss [41]

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is a feedforward <u>allosteric</u> activator of liver pyruvate kinase.

<h3>What is the role of fructose 1/6-Bisphosphate?</h3>

A crucial enzyme in gluconeogenesis is fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase). It is a possible target for drugs used to treat type II diabetes. Additionally, the protein is linked to a rare genetic metabolic disorder, and certain cancer cells lack the activity of the enzyme FBPase, which encourages glycolysis and aids in the Warburg effect.

The following reaction is catalyzed by FBPase. The enzyme is controlled allosterically by several small molecules, including AMP and fructose-2,6-phosphate, which are negative regulators, and ATP, which is a positive regulator. Pyruvate kinase activity is activated when FBP attaches to the allosteric binding site on domain C of the enzyme. This conformational shift is brought on by a change in the enzyme's structure.
