Scientists can use mutants to study metabolic pathways. These organisms have a mutation in a gene encoding a metabolic pathway e

nzyme that results in the inactivation of that enzyme. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (a yeast species) mutants are available that grow on fructose, but not glucose. This growth defect results from a mutation in the gene encoding what enzyme?
a. phosphoglycerate kinase
b. enolase
c. pyruvate kinase
d. phostphoglycerate mutase
e. Phosphoglucose isomerase (phosphohexose isomerase or glucose-6-phosphate isomerase)

Answer:

The correct answer is - e. Phosphoglucose isomerase (phosphohexose isomerase or glucose-6-phosphate isomerase)

Explanation:

Phosphoglucose isomerase (phosphohexose isomerase or glucose-6-phosphate isomerase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of the glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate or fructose-6-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate.

In the given question there most likely a mutation that takes place in Phosphoglucose isomerase as it is not able to convert glucose to fructose which is a growth defect.

explain some of the interactions between air, land, water, and life that transfer energy in and around the globe and contribute
Sauron [17]

Answer:

              Air,water,land,these are the A-biotic factors of the environment and are associated with life in many ways and life is totally defendant on these A-biotic factors of the life

Explanation:

                     Life is basically dependent on two components the biotic (living things) and A-biotic (non living) components of life.Living component are inked to each other with food chain and the energy  is transferred between the food chains and the energy is made by the producer with the help of a biotic factors associated with the life. By using A-boitic component the producers the primary component of the food chain make the food and is consumed by the consumers and then the same way the energy is transferred  from on level to the next level and energy is consumed up to 10 percent  in each level of the food chain.
