Your friend Melissa has suffered from diabetes for her entire life. She regularly tests her blood to make sure her sugar levels are not too high or low. Which gland in her endocrine system is responsible for regulating her blood sugar?

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase is the enzymes which perform the process of transcription that synthesizes the RNA from one strand of the DNA.

These polymerase moves step-wise along the DNA strand adding one nucleotide in  5′-to-3′ direction. They catalyze the reaction by forming the phosphodiester bond between two nucleotides using the energy from the high energy bonds of ATP and form the linear RNA.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Answer:

i believe the enzyme that needs to be released is called Glucokinase.

Explanation:

The enzyme involved in releasing locked glucose from liver glycogen is glycogen phosphorylase. This enzyme promotes glycogenolysis, breaking down glycogen into glucose when blood glucose levels drop. This process is primarily triggered by the hormone glucagon.

When blood glucose levels drop, and there's a need to release glucose stored as liver glycogen, the primary enzyme involved in this process is glycogen phosphorylase. This enzyme helps promote the process known as glycogenolysis, which is the breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver (and muscles) back into glucose. This glucose is then released into the bloodstream to restore normal blood glucose levels.

Here is what happens step by step:

This glucose is then released into the bloodstream where it can be used by the body's cells to generate energy. Therefore, the key enzyme to release glucose locked inside the liver is glycogen phosphorylase.

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

The RNA, is composed by the carbohydrate called ribose, that is not glucose but it is made based of the glucose.

The pentose phosphate path, is a metabolic path in which is closely related with glucolisis, the metabolic path in which glucose is turned into energy in human body.

If there is a living thing in which the environment is poor in glucose, it can produce some RNA, but not the necessary to produce the proteins that the cell need.

Final answer:

Yeast grown on high glucose is expected to have more tRNA and potentially different tRNA species compared to yeast grown on low glucose due to adjustments in metabolic activity related to nutrient availability.

Explanation:

In an experiment comparing yeast grown on high versus low glucose concentrations, one may expect to see differences in the amount and make-up of tRNA between the two groups. Yeast cells adjust their molecular machinery, including tRNA synthesis, based on nutrient availability. A growth medium with plentiful glucose would likely lead to higher metabolic activity and protein synthesis, thereby requiring increased amounts of tRNA to support the translation of mRNA into proteins. Conversely, in a low glucose environment, the cells may enter a conservation mode, slowing down metabolism and reducing the need for tRNA and protein synthesis, which could result in a noticeable decrease in the amount of tRNA.

Moreover, the makeup of individual tRNA species could differ, reflecting changes in the expression of various proteins necessitated by the nutrient conditions. For instance, certain amino acids might be in higher demand for proteins involved in glucose metabolism, which could lead to an increased abundance of tRNAs for those amino acids. These adjustments play a critical role in the carbon source adaptation that is often observed in yeast and other microorganisms when subjected to different nutrient conditions.

This salt gets deposited in the base of the container as a form of precipitation. The salt can be of different color depending upon the color of base and acid which was used during the chemical reaction.

Answer:

d. Dense connective tissue is dominated by collagen fibers.

Explanation:

Bones and cartilage are the supporting connective tissue while loose and dense connective tissues are categorized as the connective tissue proper. Cartilage does not have nerves and blood vessels in its extracellular matrix.

Loose connective tissues have the fibers loosely arranged between the cells while the dense connective tissues have tightly packed fibers.

Both dense regular and irregular connective tissues mainly have a high proportion of white collagen fibers. Tendons and ligaments are the examples of dense regular connective tissues while the dense irregular connective tissues are present in the inner location of the skin.

Of the statements given, only 'd' is true: Dense connective tissue is dominated by collagen fibers and is known for its resistance to stretching.

The question revolves around the characteristics of various types of connective tissue. Statement 'a' that loose connective tissue includes cartilage is not true; cartilage is considered a supportive connective tissue. Statement 'b,' suggesting that closely packed bundles of collagen fibers are characteristic of loose connective tissues, is incorrect because such a description applies to dense regular connective tissue instead. Statement 'c,' regarding dense irregular connective tissue having a high proportion of elastic fibers, is not necessarily true, as dense irregular connective tissue typically has collagen fibers interwoven into a mesh-like structure. The correct statement is 'd,' which states that dense connective tissue is dominated by collagen fibers. Dense connective tissue provides great resistance to stretching due to the higher quantity of collagen fibers when compared to loose connective tissue.

A flat sheet of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone is called an aponeurosis.

A flat sheet of connective tissue that extends beyond the muscle fibers to attach the muscle to bone is known as an aponeurosis. This connective tissue is similar to a tendon but it differs in being a broader, flatter structure. In skeletal muscles, when the collagen of the three tissue layers, or the mysia, does not interweave with a tendon, it may instead fuse with an aponeurosis or to the fascia. An example of an aponeurosis can be seen in the lower back where the latissimus dorsi muscles, also known as "lats", fuse into this flat, wide connective tissue to aid in movement of the skeleton.

In DNA nucleotides, the phosphate and deoxyribose sugar are common components, while the nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine) is the varying component.

In the structure of DNA, there are four types of nucleotides, each composed of three components: a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.

Two of these components - the phosphate and deoxyribose sugar - are common to all four DNA nucleotides. The component that differs across the four DNA nucleotides is the nitrogenous base, which can be either adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), or guanine (G).

Answer:

c) Hypovolemic shock

Explanation:

Hypovolemic shock occurs when circulating blood volume is reduced due to blood loss. This blood loss can occur due to hemorrhage or loss of fluid that accompanies diarrhea, burns or vomiting. When circulating blood volume is reduced, vascular pressure is reduced and tissues do not get enough oxygen and vital nutrients (tissue hypoperfusion). As a result organ systems can fail leading to death.

Peripheral vasoconstriction and movement of fluid into plasma can increase vascular pressure and restore blood flow to critical tissues like brain, kidney and heart. Approximately 10% blood volume less can occur without reducing the vascular pressure. However if 35 to 45% of blood volume is lost, sufficient supply and pressure cant be maintained.

Answer:

D. Each parent had at least one recessive gene for that trait.

Explanation:

Actually, the correct answer would be "Each parent had at least one recessive allele for that trait", but we can consider D to be correct.

Recessive phenotypes are only expressed when both copies of the gene are recessive alleles. If you have one recessive allele and one dominant allele, your phenotype will be dominant, same way as if you both alleles were dominant.

Each allele is inherited from one parent, so you have one parental allele, and one maternal allele. If your phenotype is recessive, it means you inherited a recessive allele from your mother and one from your father, so you can conclude that both parents had at least one copy of the recessive allele. What you can't say is that both parents had a recessive phenotype, because it could be that they had one dominant and one recessive allele, so they would be able to pass on the recessive allele to the next generation, but their phenotype would be dominant.

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with location of gene expression.

Explanation:

A regulatory sequence refers to a section of a molecule of nucleic acid that possesses the tendency of declining or upsurging the expression of particular genes within an organism. The regulation of gene expression is an important characteristic of all living species and viruses.  

In the given case, it is essential to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when developing a recombinant gene as a regulatory sequence monitors the location of gene expression.  

The regulatory sequence of a milk gene is crucial in producing recombinant human proteins in transgenic animal milk because it controls gene expression, ensuring proteins are made at correct times and in appropriate amounts. Transgenic animals like sheep and goats are often used as they can provide the necessary eukaryotic post-translational modifications not possible in bacterial expression systems.

It is important to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when constructing a recombinant gene used to produce a human protein secreted in milk because the regulatory sequence controls the expression of the gene. Essentially, this means that it governs when, where, and how much of the protein is produced. The milk gene regulatory sequence is specialized to be active in the mammary glands during lactation, which ensures that the recombinant human protein is produced and secreted into the milk at the right times and in the right amounts.

Using transgenic animals, such as sheep and goats, that have been engineered to express human proteins in their milk, benefits the production of medically important proteins that may not be adequately produced in bacterial systems due to the need for eukaryotic post-translational modifications.

This biotechnological approach is not only limited to livestock but also includes other transgenic animals like mice which are used extensively for expressing and studying the effects of recombinant genes and mutations.

Answer: True

Explanation:

A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer made of polar phosphate head and a nonpolar lipid tail. It is semipermeable and regulates the transport of materials through it. For this, it is selectively permeable and since it is made of lipids, hydrophobic and small polar molecules can diffuse easily through it by simple diffusion and down their concentration gradient. However, polar molecules, large molecules (such as glucose) and ions are not able to pass through it because they are repelled.

To accomplish the transport of these molecules that can not diffuse, proteins embebbed in the membrane function as carriers that enable the transport of polar molecules, large molecules and ions by passive (through facilitated diffusion, down its concentration gradient) or active transport (movement against its concentration gradient).

Answer: The Piltdown Man

Explanation:

Every other answer was not a hoax

Final answer:

D. The Piltdown Man turned out to be a hoax. It was a fabricated fossil that misled scientists about human evolution for decades, unlike the real fossil discoveries of the Nariokotome Boy and Taung Child.

Explanation:

The hoax referred to in the question is the Piltdown Man. This infamous archaeological forgery was considered a significant find when it was "discovered" in 1912 by Charles Dawson in England. It supposedly provided evidence for a European origin of human evolution, displaying both human and ape-like features. However, using the fluorine technique among other methods, the Piltdown Man was eventually proven to be a fake. This discovery was a set of bones altered and combined in a way to purposely create a seemingly transitional fossil between apes and humans, fooling the scientific community for over 40 years.

On the contrary, the other specimens mentioned, such as the Nariokotome Boy, also known as the Turkana Boy, and the Taung Child, are genuine and significant paleoanthropological discoveries. The Nariokotome Boy is a remarkably complete skeleton of a Homo erectus youth found near Lake Turkana, Kenya, which has provided invaluable insight into the early evolution of our genus, Homo. Similarly, the Taung Child is the first discovered fossil of an Australopithecine juvenile, which reinforced the idea that humanity originated from Africa.

Explanation:

The disease of pernicious anemia could elicit neurologic symptoms that comes from a patient that suffered myelin degeneration and loss of nerve fibers. The neurologic symptoms include numbness and tingling in the arms and legs as well as paresthesias, weakness, clumsiness, and an unsteady gait. When a patient suffers with any of these symptoms is considered that she or he has pernicious anemia with a neurologic involvement.

Answer:

Cell wall

Explanation:

The presence of a cell wall is a feature of some specific cell types. Prokaryotes such as bacteria possess the cell wall made of peptidoglycan. Cell wall makes outer most covering of their cells in these organisms.

Likewise, archaeans are also the prokaryotes that have cell walls to make the outer most covering of their cells. Among several functions, cell walls in these organisms impart them the mechanical strength and prevent the bursting of cells in a hypotonic environment.

Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles present in the cells of eukaryotes only. They are the powerhouse of these cell types and serve as a site of ATP production by the process of cellular respiration.

Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles and have a circular DNA. However, they do not have a cell wall around them.

The item NOT found or observed in both mitochondria and prokaryotes is the cell wall. Mitochondria lack a cell wall, whereas prokaryotic cells typically have one.

The question asks which of the following is NOT found or observed to occur in both mitochondria and prokaryotes: binary fission, 70S ribosomes, ATP-generating mechanism, circular chromosome, cell wall. Mitochondria and prokaryotes share several similarities due to the endosymbiotic theory, which suggests that mitochondria were once free-living prokaryotes. They both undergo binary fission for replication, both have 70S ribosomes for protein synthesis, both have an ATP-generating mechanism, and both contain circular chromosome as their DNA. However, mitochondria do not have a cell wall; this structure is typical of prokaryotic cells and is not found in mitochondria.

The correct answer is B. The science of inherited traits

Explanation:

Genetics refers to the field in biology that focuses on studying genes which are the basic units of heredity and therefore the ones that determine inherited traits. Indeed genetic study the way traits are passed through reproduction and also the way genes change over time or express which is closely connected to evolution. Additionally, genetics have been widely studied beginning by the works of Mendel during the 19th century and nowadays the knowledge about genes including the behavior, function, and structure of them is broad. According to this, genetics is defined as the science of inherited traits.

Genetics is defined as the science of inherited traits, focusing on the transmission and variation of these traits, which involves studying genes, their functions, and interactions, option b is correct.

Genetics is the branch of biology that deals with the transmission and variation of inherited characteristics, particularly involving chromosomes and DNA. This scientific field focuses on how traits are inherited from one generation to the next and how these traits manifest and change over time within populations and across different environments. The study of genetics encompasses genes, their functions, interactions, and the results of these processes on the physical appearance and capabilities of organisms.

Considering the options provided in the question, the correct definition of genetics is 'b. the science of inherited traits,' as it captures the essence of this biological discipline. Modern genetics builds on the foundations laid by Mendelian principles, extending into complex areas such as genomics, gene interaction, and population genetics. The field has vast implications, from understanding genetic disorders to enhancing crop yields through genetic engineering.

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

A fault is generally defined as the planar or curved fracture that results in the displacement of the rocks on either side of the fault because of the compressional or tensional stress. It is comprised of 2 blocks. The block that is present above the fault is termed as the Hanging-wall, and the block that is below the fault is termed as the Foot-wall.  These blocks undergoes changes with the the type of stress that act on it.

This faults are mainly of 3 types, namely-

(1) Normal fault

(2) Reverse fault

(3) Transform fault

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

Carbohydrates is one of the most important biomolecule that plays an important role in the living organism. Carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides sugars linked through glycosidic linkage.

Starch is made of the glucose residues in which the linear glucose residues are linked through alpha glycosidic linkages. Cellulose is the polymers of glucose linked through the beta glycosidic linkage. Hence, they are differ in the glycosidic linkage.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Final answer:

The structural difference between starch and cellulose lies in their glycosidic linkages: starch has α-1,4 and α-1,6 linkages while cellulose has β-1,4 linkages, making it indigestible to humans. The correct option is B.

Explanation:

The structural difference between starch and cellulose that accounts for their functional differences is in the type of glycosidic linkages between the glucose monomers from which they are composed. Starch is a polysaccharide that consists of glucose units connected primarily by α-1,4 glycosidic linkages and some α-1,6 linkages, which allow for branches in molecules like amylopectin. In contrast, cellulose is a polysaccharide that has β-1,4 glycosidic linkages, resulting in a linear, rigid structure that enables it to function as a structural element in plant cell walls.

The orientation of the glucose units is crucial: in starch, all the glucose rings are oriented in the same direction, whereas in cellulose, each glucose unit is flipped relative to the next, creating an alternating 'up-down' pattern that leads to the formation of strong hydrogen bonds between the chains, giving cellulose its high tensile strength.

The difference in linkages leads to differences in digestibility. Animals have enzymes that can break down the α-linkages in starch but not the β-linkages in cellulose, which is why we can derive energy from starch but not from cellulose.

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "It is maintained through beliefs that are widely shared in a society".

Explanation:

Social stratification is a people's differentiation according to its socioeconomic strata, directly affected by its wealth and social status. One of the principles of social stratification is that it is maintained through beliefs that are widely shared in a society. The existence of the different strata is maintained by people's believing in them, as people is rise with the idea of its existence and this idea is passed from generation to generation.

The principle of social stratification which supports that it is maintained by widely shared beliefs in a society is correct. So, option b is correct.

The basic principles of social stratification involve a society's categorization of its people into rankings of socioeconomic tiers. From the options provided, the choice that accurately represents one of these principles is: 'It is maintained through beliefs that are widely shared in a society'. This means that social stratification is supported by belief systems that are generally accepted within a society, forming a social structure in line with these beliefs.

For instance, the tradition of a cast system, which was prominent in India, is sustained by the widely accepted belief in religious and social hierarchies. These belief systems are the pillars for social stratification, promoting inequality or differences among levels of society.
