The evolutionary selection process for glycogen metabolism<span> reflects the requirements of rendering large amounts of glucose into an osmotically stable but readily soluble </span>substrate<span> for rapid mobilization. Therefore glycogen </span>serves<span> as a glucose reserve and </span>substrate<span> buffer for local </span>energy<span> demand.</span>
The correct answer is "southerners." Sarah and Angelina Grimké's parents were slaveholders; while Sarah and Angelina never experienced slavery themselves, they viewed it firsthand, and from their own experience decided to advocate against slavery. This decision carried so much weight because overall, southerners didn't want to give up slavery.
Answer:
D) It decreases water movement.
Explanation:
Humus is known as part of the soil formation. It is characterized by various qualities some of which include containing nutrients such as nitrogen. It is also characterized by its ability to retain water content or soil moisture. Humus is made from the decays of plants wastes such as leaves.
Hence, in this case, the correct answer is Humus is important because "It decreases water movement."
Answer:
The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a <u>silent</u> mutation.
Explanation:
In a silent mutation occurs the change of a nitrogenous base in one of the codons that encodes an aminoacid, without changing the aminoacid or altering the structure or function of the protein to be synthesized.
In this type of mutations the change of the base does not mean the change of the aminoacid, because some aminoacids can be coded with more than one codon. In the case of Leucine, the codons that encode it are CUU, CUC, CUG or CUA, so even if a base changes, the final protein will be the correct one.
For the other options:
- <u><em>Missense</em></u><em>: the change of the base in the DNA chain implies the change of the codon in the mRNA and of the encoded aminoacid, in that way a structural and functional alteration of the synthesized protein occurs. </em>
- <u><em>Nonsense</em></u><em>: the change in the nitrogenous base in the DNA leads to the coding of a termination codon, so that the protein is ultimately incomplete.</em>
- <u><em>Insertion</em></u><em>: in this case there is the addition of more nitrogenous bases to the DNA chain, with respect to the original one.</em>
