Answer:

1. Insulin resistance and diabetes

2. Metformin

Explanation:

Metformin can be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome, especially for insulin-resistant women (insulin is a hormone that transports sugar into cells).

People with insulin resistance have high levels of this hormone in their blood and excess circulating insulin can aggravate manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome, and also increase the risk of diabetes.

The main benefits of metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovaries is the normalization of menstrual irregularity and the restoration of ovulatory cycles.

Since most women with polycystic ovary syndrome are insulin resistant, metformin is a good treatment option in some cases.

However, the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome should be individualized for each woman, depending on the symptoms presented and the goal to be achieved with the treatment.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The statement true of all proteins, carbohydrates and fats is that human body is able to synthesize them all.

The statement unique to proteins is that proteins are made up of instructions according to DNA.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates, Proteins and fats are macronutrients and required by body in larger amounts. All these macromolecules are made up of building blocks like proteins are from amino acids, carbohydrates from monosaccharides and fats from triglycerides. Human body can also synthesize these macronutrients. Like proteins can be synthesized by central dogma. Glucose can be synthesized by gluconeogenesis from glycogen and fats can be synthesized from acetyl-CoA and NADPH.

The proteins are made up by a process known as central dogma. The first step of central dogma is replication in which a replicated copy of DNA is produced in a cell. The second step is transcription for the production of messenger RNA from DNA. At last mRNA is used for the production of proteins on ribosomes.

Bacteria with the ability to break down certain types of plastic are placed with a colony of E. coli bacteria that lack this abi
zloy xaker [14]

The answer is C

Plasmids are conferred through horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.  The ‘male’ bacteria develops a structure called pili that then attaches to the ‘female’ bacteria. It then transfers it’s replicated plasmid to the ‘female’ bacteria in a process called conjugation. This bacteria will hence have desirable traits that are coded for by the transferred genetic material ,such as antibiotic resistance, after a process called recombination.

During dehydration synthesis is 42 water molecules were made how many monosaccharides were joined together to make the complex c
netineya [11]

Answer:

43 monosaccharides will be joined together to make the complex carbohydrate.

Explanation:

The complex carbohydrates are synthesized by the joining of monosaccharide residues by glycosidic linkages.One glycosidic linkage joins two monosaccharide residues by the elimination of one molecule of water.

  In other words it can be said that elimination of one water molecule joins two monosaccharides.By the same way elimination of 42 molecules of water will result in the joining of 43 monosaccaride residues.
