A fibre-containing formula would most likely be used to patients who are under enteral nutrition.
An enteral nutrition is the administration of food through the use of a feeding tube, which is inserted either in the nose, the stomach or the small intestine. Fibre-containing formulas are used to improve faecal bulk, treat diarrhoea or constipation and maintain healthy blood-glucose levels.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

c. shady forests.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. freshwater aquatic environments.

b. sunny, xeric habitats.

c. shady forests.

d. habitats with very cold winters.

e. oceans.

Angiosperms are plants that have stems, roots and leaves. Moreover, these plants have seeds in a flower. Usually, angiosperm eggs are fertilized through pollination in a flower. Flowers have both male and female reproductive organs. Based on the analysis of the nucleotide sequences of genes, it appears that the ancestors of angiosperms were adapted for survival in shady forests.

Dioxin, produced as a by-product of various industrial chemical processes, is suspected of contributing to the development of ca
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

d. transcription factors

Explanation:

Transcription factors are the proteins present in cells that are involved in the regulation of gene expression. The transcription factors may increase or decrease the expression of a gene. Therefore, a transcription factor may serve as an activator or repressor for a gene. These proteins bind to a regulatory sequence present near or within a gene, interact with RNA polymerase or other transcription factors and thereby, affect the transcription initiation.

Since binding of dioxin to certain proteins alter the pattern of gene expression in the cells, these proteins are the transcription factors. For instance, dioxin may bind to a transcription factor and up-regulate the expression of genes which in turn regulate the cell division.

Enolase is an enzyme that catalyzes one reaction in glycolysis in all organisms that carry out this process. The amino acid sequ
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) The response indicates that a pH below or above this range will most likely cause enolase to denature/change its shape and be less efficient or unable to catalyze the reaction.

b)The response indicates that the appropriate negative control is to measure the reaction rate (at the varying substrate concentrations) without any enzyme present.

c)The response indicated that the enolase has a more stable/functional/correct/normal protein structure at the higher temperature of 55°C than at 37°C because the enzyme is from an organism that is adapted to growth at 55°C.

Explanation:

Enolase catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate during both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.In bacteria, enolases are highly conserved enzymes and commonly exist as homodimers.

The temperature optimum for enolase catalysis was 80°C, close to the measured thermal stability of the protein which was determined to be 75°C, while the pH optimum for enzyme activity was 6.5. The specific activities of purified enolase determined at 25 and 80°C were 147 and 300 U mg−1 of protein, respectively. Km values for the 2-phosphoglycerate/phosphoenolpyruvate reaction determined at 25 and 80°C were 0.16 and 0.03 mM, respectively. The Km values for Mg2+ binding at these temperatures were 2.5 and 1.9 mM, respectively.

Enolase-1 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus (EnoCa), a thermophilic green non-sulfur bacterium that grows photosynthetically under anaerobic conditions. The biochemical and structural properties of enolase from C. aurantiacus are consistent with this being thermally adapted.

Fruit flies have a diploid number of 8, and honeybees have a diploid number of 32. In which case will crossing over have greater
Yanka [14]

Answer:

            The correct option is A.

Explanation:

              As we know that genetic variation that result from crossing over depend on the number of genes and their alleles. When there are more genes in genome the chances of polymorphic loci will increase, which will result into more genetic variation during crossing over.

Forexample:

                    Drosophila melanogaster is a common fruit fly having diploid number of 8 chromosome composed of 122,653,977 base pairs, and about ~17,000 genes.  Honey bees have diploid number of 32 chromosomes composed of approximately 2360000 base pairs, and 10,000 genes.    

Conclusion:

                      As fruit fly genome contain more genes and polymorphic loci, so genetic variation is more likely to be greater in fruit fly.
