Biology

Anastasy [175]3 years ago
3 0

The enzyme amylase is the enzyme that matches up to the active site in starch to allow for its break down process. A different enzyme is needed to break down cellulose because amylase would not fit the same way into the cellulose active site in the way that the correct active site would.

One of your fellow systematists has asked you to help her group organisms into a valid phylogenetic tree. At present, she has gr
kipiarov [429]

Answer and explanation:

Monophyletic species are the species whose lineage belongs to the common recent phylogenetic ancestor. As mentioned in the question, the girl has 3 species namely G, H, and K. Because there is no other criteria given, we assume that the closeness of alphabets would reflect the closeness of species. Thus, G and H are closer relative than K. Therefore, if she adds <u>I, and J species</u> in the list, all of them will be closer relatives and we can say that they are monophyletic now.

The graphic shows the citric acid cycle. A diagram of the citric acid cycle is shown. Acetyl C o A enters the citric acid cycle
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule.

Explanation:

Acetyl-CoA(2C) associates with oxalacetate(4C) to form citric acid(6C). Then through redox reactions, CO2 molecules result from decarboxylation (COOH becomes R-(R1)CH-R2). And through dehydrogenation H2 molecules are incorporated in NADH+ in FADH2, resulting in the 4-carbon molecule at the beginning (oxalacetate). That's why it's called a cycle(Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle)

Cloud [144]

The producers are the main source of the food production in the ecosystem. The producers are the organism, which convert the energy from the sunlight into the chemical energy. The consumers use this chemical energy for carrying out the metabolic processes in their body.

Without producers, the consumers cannot obtain their energy. Hence, the ecosystem without any producer would not survive.
