Phosphorus is a critical constituent of cellular fluids because of its role: a.as a sodium ion transporter in body cells b.in the synthesis of amino acids c.in the synthesis of phospholipids to transport fats through the blood d.in binding with calcium in the muscle tissues e.as a buffer in maintaining the optimum body pH

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

e is correct

Explanation :

Phosphorus is critical because this element is required for enzymatic activities that take place during glycolysis, in the metabolism of glutamine to form ammonia (ammoniagenesis) and also in oxidative phosphorylation, where the cells produce energy from the generation of ATP from ADP.

In serum (blood plasma), the inorganic phosphate is combined with oxygen (O2) to form diverse types of phosphates (PO4) molecules that play key functions in muscle activity, nervous system development, and bone growth.  

Serum phosphate is a critical buffer that maintains the acid‐base balance in the urine. The serum phosphate level in an adult must be in the range of 2.5 to 4.5 mg/dl, being higher levels indicative of hyperphosphatemia. This inorganic phosphate has important functions during the ATP synthesis, cyclic AMP, post-translational modification (i.e., protein phosphorylation), and also as an intracellular buffer.

Viruses do not consist of cells; they also lack cell membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and other cell organelles. D. Viruses are cells with cell membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and other cell organelles.

Answers

Answer:

C. Viruses do not consist of cells; they also lack cell membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and other cell organelles.

Explanation:

Viruses are only composed of a couple things: strands of nucleic acid that can be DNA or RNA, a protein coat called a capsid, and potentially a glycolipid coat to protect the outside.

There are no organelles, nor are there cells. Keep in mind that a virus is nonliving, so D is utterly wrong.

Answers

Answer: a scar and wolf's social status

Explanation:

The acquired traits can be defined as the traits, which are only influenced by the environment of the organism. The acquired trait cannot be passed down to the offspring, as they are not genetically determined. A scar and the social status of any organism is dependent on the behavior of the organism to the environment, no genes code for both of these characters. So, scars and Wolf's social status is an acquired trait.

The trait that should be put in section II (Both) is "a scar", as scars can be acquired due to injury or trauma, but some people may also have a genetic predisposition to scarring.

What are inherited and acquired trait?

Inherited traits are characteristics that are determined by an individual's genetic makeup and are passed down from parents to their offspring through the process of reproduction. Examples of inherited traits include eye color, hair color, blood type, and facial features.

Acquired traits are characteristics that are developed during an individual's lifetime as a result of their interactions with the environment. Examples of acquired traits include scars, calluses, tanned skin, learned behaviors, and language proficiency.

While some traits may be either entirely inherited or acquired, many traits are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The complex interplay between nature and nurture contributes to the vast diversity of traits and characteristics found within the human population.

Answers

Answer:

OA

Explanation:

Chemical energy refers to the energy that is released with reactions involving chemicals. Cellular respiration takes glucose(a five carbon sugar) and breaks it down using glycolysis, then makes ATP(adenisine-triphosphate)(an essential chemical to the energy of life) using the krebs cycle and the electron transport train. This is all to get a surplus ATP, which is a useable CHEMICAL ENERGY source. This energy can be diverted to any system in the body, including the muscular system. Then, the muscles are used MECHANICALLY(look at the types of muscle levers in anatomy) to acheive work, thanks to the CHEMICAL ENERGY produced in cellular respiration. Thus, the answer in OA.

Based on the objective you should feel comfortable calculating expected genotype frequencies when given observed allele frequencies. You should also be able to compare expected genotype frequencies from HWE to observed frequencies and determine if evolution is occurring.Here's a sample problem. You can do this without a calculator!Let's take the noob gene, a gene with two known alleles that determines feather color in the eastern lark. The two alleles, let's call them delta and gamma, can be sequenced. In fact, looking at a population in southern GA, you discover that 60% of the alleles in the population are the delta allele.1. What is the percentage of the gamma allele in the population?2. Even more interesting, based on HWE what is the expected frequency of the population that is homozygous gamma? 3. Now, after surveying an isolated population of eastern larks, you find that 20% of the population is homozygous gama (gamma gamma), 65% heterozygous (gamma delta) and 10% homozygous delta (delta delta) and 5% of the population is a previously undescribed genotype - zeta zeta (homozygous zeta). What can you conclude about evolution in the population and why? If evolution is occurring, which mechanism(s) would be responsible?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

60% of the alleles in the population are the delta allele

1. What is the percentage of the gamma allele in the population?

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the allelic dominant or recessive forms. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous dominant), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous recessive). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the same way, the sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1, this is

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

Being

p the dominant allelic frequency, q the recessive allelic frequency, p²the homozygous dominant genotypic frequency q² the homozygous recessive genotypic frequency 2pq the heterozygous genotypic frequency

According to the sum of the allelic frequencies

p + q = 1

1 equals 100%

100% ------ 1

60%------0.6

40%------0.4

The percentage of gamma allele in the population is 40%.

2. what is the expected frequency of the population that is homozygous gamma?

The genotypic frequencies, F, after one generation are p² (Homozygous dominant), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous recessive).

F(gamma)= p²= 0.4²=0.16 =16%

F(delta)= q²= 0.6²=0.36 = 36%

F (gamma-delta) = 2xp2q= 2 x 0.4 x 0.6 = 0.48 = 48%

3.  20% of the population is homozygous gama (gamma gamma), 65% heterozygous (gamma delta) and 10% homozygous delta (delta delta) and 5% of the population is a previously undescribed genotype - zeta zeta (homozygous zeta). What can you conclude about evolution in the population and why? If evolution is occurring, which mechanism(s) would be responsible?      

20% gamma-gamma

10% delta-delta    

65% gamma-delta  

5% zeta-zeta  

This population has different genotypic frequencies with respect to the population in southern GA:

The gamma genotypic frequency is a little bit higher in the isolated population (16% vs 20%)

The delta genotypic frequency is considerably lower in the isolated population (36% vs 10%)

The heterozygotic genotypic frequency is also higher in the isolated population (18% vs 64%)

It appeared a new phenotype in the isolated population, probably due to a mutation in one of the genes. We can assume that this is a new mutation because its frequency is still low (5%).

Maybe, the mutation occurred in an individual of the isolated population, and with time, this mutation increased its frequency, up to a point of being phenotypically visible. This could be a case of a bottleneck example.

The founder effect is a special case of genetic drift, where a few organisms of one population settles down in a new area carrying the genes of the original population.  

Genetic drift is the random change in the allelic frequency in a population, from one generation to the other. The magnitude of this change is inversely related to the size of the original population. These changes produced by genetic drift accumulate in time, and eventually, some alleles get lost, while some other might get set.      

Founder effect refers to the consequences that occur from the origin of a new population that derives from a small number of founder individuals that come from an ancestral bigger population. This small group shows poor genetic variation and a high possibility of expressing a peculiar allelic composition. Some mutation might occur and it can accumulate in time.

     

You are monitoring the metabolism of two different cultures of the same species of yeast, which you have labeled Culture A and Culture B. One of your observations is that Culture A is using up about 10 times the amount of glucose per unit of time as Culture B. Which one of the following conclusions could you reasonably draw regarding these cultures?
A. Culture A would be accumulating lactic acid.
B. Culture A is being grown aerobically; Culture B is being grown anaerobically.
C. Only Culture A is recycling its NADH back to NAD+.
D. Culture A and Culture B are synthesizing the same amount of ATP per unit of glucose in glycolysis.
E. None of the above conclusions could be drawn from the information given.

Answers

Answer: D

Explanation: The experiment was set up using the very same species of yeast labeled differently. What this means is that they are of the same type or kind and thus would exhibit similar features from feeding to the metabolism of the food they take and subsequent production of by-products of the fermentation process. In this regard, therefore, the reasonable conclusion that can be drawn regarding these cultures is that both cultures A and B are synthesizing the same amount of ATP per unit of glucose in glycolysis (the cellular degradation of the simple sugar glucose to yield pyruvic acid, and ATP as an energy source).

Answers

Answer:

Glycosidic Bonds

Explanation:

Glycosidic Bonds are a type of covelant bond that form between two or more 5 carbon sugar macro-molecules(like glucose). Hydrogen bonds are an attraction between hydrogen atoms, not a real sharing or trading of electrons, as seen with ionic and covelant bonds, while they are essestial to life in water, they generally do not have a strong effect in the building of macromolecules. Therefore, that is incorrect. Phosphodiester, ester, and peptide bonds all occur between different macro-molecules, none of which include glucose(5 carbon sugar). Therefore, the answer is #4.
