Semenov [28]3 years ago

Answer:

Dominant allele: A dominant allele is a variation of a gene that will produce a certain phenotype, even in the presence of other alleles. A dominant allele typically encodes for a functioning protein. ... When a dominant allele is completely dominant over another allele, the other allele is known as recessive.

Recessive allele: A recessive allele is a variety of genetic code that does not create a phenotype if a dominant allele is present. An allele is a specific variation of a gene, or specific segment of DNA. ... Different alleles produce slightly different proteins, which function in different ways.

Increasing excitatory signals above threshold levels for neural activation will not affect the intensity of an action potential.

Lera25 [3.4K]

<u>Answer</u>: an all or none response

According to the all-or-none law, it a certain threshol is crossed by a stimulus' strenght, it will cause a response in the nerve cell or muscle fiber. However, the strenght of the response will always be the same and will not vary with different stimulus strengths. The only requirement is for the threshold to be crossed.

How do enzymes affect the energy needed for getting a reaction going in the cell?

Rina8888 [55]

<span>Enzymes</span> are proteins that allow certain chemical reactions to take place much quicker than the reactions would occur on their own. Enzymes function as catalysts, which means that they speed up the rate at which metabolic processes and reactions occur in living organisms. Usually, the processes or reactions are part of a cycle or pathway, with separate reactions at each step. Each step of a pathway or cycle usually requires a specific enzyme. Without the specific enzyme to catalyze a reaction, the cycle or pathway cannot be completed.

Which of the following best describes the hydrolysis of carbohydrates? a.The removal of a water molecule breaks bonds between su

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

c.The addition of a water molecule breaks a bond between sugar mono-mers.

Explanation:

Hydrolysis refers to reaction with water. When water molecules are added to carbohydrates, the bonds between the sugar monomers are broken. This is the chemical reaction known as hydrolysis reaction.

Generally, since carbohydrates are polymers we can say that hydrolysis reactions result in the breakdown of carbohydrate polymers into sugar monomers by using water molecules
