Answer:

The options

A. pseudostratified epithelium

B. glandular epithelium

C. cuboidal epithelium

D. stratified epithelium

E. columnar epithelium

The CORRECT ANSWER IS A.

A. pseudostratified epithelium

Explanation:

A pseudostratified epithelium is a form of epithelium that, entails of a major layer of cells, with its cell nuclei placed in a manner that speaks of stratified epithelia.

Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium cells are located in spots such as the trachea and upper respiratory tract, of which its cilia and mucous secretions do gather foreign bodies to be expelled during coughing or sneezing.

The aftermath of exposure to cigarette smoke are lung inflammation and the destruction of normal pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium. Cilia length is also reduced in smokers.

Nady [450]

Answer:

Valine-Leucine-Proline-Lysine-Histidine

Explanation:

The central dogma of biology is the process by which DNA is used to synthesize RNA and subsequently amino acid sequence (PROTEIN). The processes of transcription and translation is used in gene expression. Transcription is the process whereby the information encoded in a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. Transcription is catalyzed by RNA polymerase enzyme, which uses complementary base pairing rule i.e Adenine(A)-Thymine(T), Guanine(G)-Cytosine(C) pairing.

N.B: Thymine is replaced by Uracil in the mRNA

For the above DNA sequence: CAC GAC GGA TTC GTA, the mRNA sequence will be: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU

Translation is the second process of gene expression which involves the synthesis of an amino acid sequence from an mRNA molecule. The mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid (see attached image for genetic code)

Based on the attached genetic code, an mRNA sequence: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU will encode an amino acid sequence: Valine(Val) - Leucine (Leu) -Proline (Pro) -Lysine (Lys) - Histidine (His).

GUG specifies Valine amino acid

CUG specifies Leucine amino acid

CCU specifies Proline amino acid

AAG specifies Lysine amino acid

CAU specifies Histidine amino acid

Leya [2.2K]
The breaking down of sugars is called glycolysis. The prefix glyco- means sugar, and the suffix -lysis means breaking down. It's part of a three-step process in respiration, the other two is The Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Phosphorylation. In the process of glycolysis, 2 ATP and 2 NADH are produced.
