Answer: 4%
Out of 5000kcal, the owl loses 2300kcal which mean it could only process 2700kcal. Out of 2700kcal processed, 2500 kcal is used for cellular respiration so there is 200 kcal used to make body cells. The production efficiency would be: 200kcal/5000kcal= 4%
The post mortem interval of a body enclosed in a plastic bag could be best estimated by the insects found in the body, in that case forensic science need to listen to what those little creatures have to say, insects could tell if the body has been moved from the crime scene, how long it´s been in an specific place, and how long it´s been since death until found, every group of insects can tell something different, from worms, arachnids to flyes, each one of them has a time to get into the body, so it could tell you for how long it´s been dead.
Answer: Yes.
Explanation:
DNP and cyanide are both cellular respiration inhibitor.
Cyanide is a neurotoxin that can prevent cellular respiration by it's inactivation activity on mitochondria enzymes called cytochrome oxidase.
DNP (2,4-Dinitrophenol is a chemical that inhibit cellular respiration. It help to shuttle proton across cell membranes of living cells by spreading the proton along along the mitochondria and collapsing the force that produced energy for the cell activities.
Do you have different answers that go with the question?
Answer: option A, B and D
Explanation:
The telomeres found at the terminal ends of eukaryotic chromosomes are long repetitive sequences that protects the DNA from being identify as a damage molecule to encourage fusion with other chromosomes. Since replication does not extend down to these 3' ends, the cell recruits the telomerase enzyme which is a ribonucleoprotein that helps to add telomeric repeats using its own RNA component as template to extend this end. Thus if mutation like a large deletion occurs in the gene encoding for this enzyme, the telomerase would not be able to associate correctly with the telomere, the catalytic center also encoding for its RNA polymerase would be altered and the enzymes will not be able to synthesize new telomeric repeats sequences
