Answer:

The sympathetic nervous system is involved in preparing the body for stress related activities; the parasympathetic nervous system is associated with returning the body to routine, day-to-day operations. The two systems have complementary functions, operating in tandem to maintain the body's homeostasis.

Explain the function of the thyroid gland and the hormones it secretes. Include how the release of hormone is regulated and what

elena55 [62]

The thyroid gland releases triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones play an important role in regulation of your weight, energy levels, internal temperature, skin, hair, nail growth, and more. Thyroxine (T4) is produced by the thyroid gland under regulation from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. T3 is a second thyroid hormone that is produced by the thyroid gland but also in other tissues through deiodination of T4. T3 helps maintain muscle control, brain function and development, and heart and digestive functions.

Answer: Option B) allosteric activation

Energy required by the cell is generated in the form of ATP. ATP is hydrolyzed to power many of the cellular processes, increasing the pool of ADP. As the relative amount of ADP molecules increases, they can bind to glycolytic enzymes, which will lead to the production of more ATP. The best way to describe this mechanism of regulation is allosteric activation

Explanation:

Some enzymes have more than one active site. The other site(s) is called allosteric site.

In this case, ADP released from the glycolytic reactions binds to the allosteric sites of glycolytic enzymes, activating them and causing further breakdown of glucose, hence ATP continues to be generated.

ATP + H2O ---> ADP + Pi + free energy

Consider a mutation in which the change is from uac to uau. Both codons specify the amino acid tyrosine. Which type of point mut

ddd [48]

The correct answer is: silent mutation

There are a few types of genetic mutation that can change genetic code. Those mutations can be classified:

1. Substitution-only one base is changed

• Nonsense mutations-when substitution leads to the formation of a stop codon instead of a codon

• Missense mutations-when one nucleotide is substituted and a different codon is formed

• Silent mutations-when a nucleotide is substituted and the same amino acid is produced

2. Insertion- extra base pairs are inserted

3. Deletion- section of DNA is deleted
