Carbon is found in the atmosphere mostly as carbon dioxide.
About half of a body’s weight is muscle. Muscle tissue is of three distinct types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Each type has a unique structure and a specific role. Skeletal muscle<span> moves bones. </span>Cardiac muscle<span> contracts the heart to pump blood. The </span>smooth muscle<span> tissue that changes shape to facilitate bodily functions of intestine and bladder. Here are more details about the structure and function of each type of muscle tissue in the human muscular system. </span>
Answer:
a. Acetyl CoA carboxylase
Explanation:
Much of the fatty acids used by the body is supplied by the diet, excessive amounts of carbohydrates and protein obtained from the diet can be converted to fatty acids and stored as triglycerides. Fatty acid synthesis occurs mainly in the liver and mammary glands, and to a lesser extent in adipose tissue and kidney, the process incorporates acetyl CoA carbons into the forming fatty acid chain using ATP and NADPH.
The acetyl portion of acetyl CoA is transported to cytosol as citrate, produced by condensation of oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA, the first reaction of the citric acid cycle, this occurs when the concentration of mitochondrial citrate is high, observed when there is a high concentration of ATP and isocitrate dehydrogenase is inhibited. The increase of citrate and ATP favors the synthesis of fatty acids, since this pathway needs both. Acetyl CoA should be converted to malonyl CoA. Carboxylation is catalyzed by acetyl CoA carboxylase and requires ATP, this reaction is the regulated step in fatty acid synthesis: it is inactivated by products, malonyl CoA and palmitoyl CoA, and activated by citrate, another regulatory mechanism is reversible phosphorylation of enzyme, which makes it inactive due to the presence of adrenaline / glucagon
One problem with this hypothesis is that the student didn't write about why this hypothesis might work - what is the underlying mechanism. The thing is that one might want to write the underlying mechanism or explanation in his hypothesis. Another problem with this hypothesis is that it's very hard to measure and be sure that following exposure to white chocolate, people are happier and that it's not a consequence of something else.
