Suppose some codons mapped to two different amino acids? What would the effect be on your translation of coded messages? What wo

This will be detrimental on the production of protein. One amino acid can be coded by different codons but one codon cannot code for two different amino acid. The finished protein will not be the same every time, and since the amino acids have properties that determine protein structure and folding, then the function will not be congruent every time. 

For instance, if a hypothetical codon AAT codes for both glutamic acid and valine then a normal person will have both normal red blood cells and sickle cells since sickle cell disease is caused by the substitution of valine instead of glutamic acid on the position 6 of the beta subunit of hemoglobin.

Which of the following is true as exercise intensity increases?
ella [17]
The generally accepted model of energy systems has been used for many years. When exercise intensity rises and glucose uptake by working muscles is increased, a drop in circulating glucose is observed while in higher intensity exercise, muscle glucose uptake can increase by as much as 30 - 50 times, compared to the resting rate. Changes is glucose metabolism have been described by numerous authors and forms an integral part of the modification of energy systems to training stimulus. This is integral to understanding the changes that may occur in the use of blood borne glucose and intra muscular glycogen that may be a marker of exercise intensity. Further Increased cytosolic and more effectively mitochondrial calcium during high ATP turnover in exercise increases glucose phosphorylation while in some cells MAS converted lactate to pyruvate whereas glucose oxidation and lactate production are influenced by the activity of MAS when the intensity of exercise rises, it can lead to down-regulation of MAS activity, which leads to an increase in lactate production Where MAS is inhibited, there is a 50% decrease in lactate oxidation. Likely sites for the adaptation of MAS are highlighted and the effect that this can have on our view of how the energy systems function during high intensity exercise are also suggested. Through consideration of these metabolic events a new vision of energy system function is proposed. I hope u can find something in here lol

Identify 2 things that can happen to a photon of infrared light as it makes its
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Eventually the IR photons escape into space, but some make several round trips between the ground and the atmosphere before they depart. Along the way, a lot of energy is transferred to the ground and the atmosphere. That energy becomes heat which warms Earth's surface and its atmosphere.
