<span>The answer should be 67.5gram

If Mary wants to consume 15% of her kcalories from protein, then the target calorie would be: 15% * </span><span>1800 kcal= 270kcal.
Every gram of protein will give about 4 kcal of energy. So, the protein needed in gram would be: 270kcal / (4kcal/gram)= 67.5 gram</span>

Compare and contrast two types of plants described in this passage
Bad White [126]

Plants have 98% of the elements found in humans. But for some characteristics they are classified in the biological kingdom Plantae. They multicellular being with limited motility and most importantly, they are able to manufacture their own food. They are essential for the existence of life in this planet and this is why Dr. Maria can see a soul in them. This is a beautiful way to look at these living being, to give them a living soul.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Since the dark green phenotype allows the insects' to blend in with their surroundings, there will be generally more of the same dark green phenotype on the remote island. Since they are blending in with their surroundings, they survive easier, and they are able to stay alive long enough to reproduce. Let me know if this helped!

A mutant strain of yeast is able to produce 2 ATP for each glucose molecule digested in the absence of oxygen. What makes this s
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normally, under anaerobic condition in yeast, pyruvate produced from glycolysis leads to the production of ethanol as shown below.

pyruvate ⇒ acetaldehyde + NADH ⇒ ethanol + NAD

The pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme, pyruvate decarboxylase. It should be NOTED that carbon dioxide is released in this step. The acetaldehyde produced in the "first step" is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It must be noted from the above that the steps are irreversible.

If a mutated strain of yeast is unique because it does not produce alcohol and lactic acid (which is referred to as toxic acid in the question); thus having a high level of pyruvate because of the presence of a novel enzyme.   <u>The function of this novel enzyme will most likely be the conversion of acetaldehyde in the presence of carbondioxide back to pyruvate; thus making that step reversible</u>. This could be a possible explanation for the high level of pyruvate present in the yeast.

A particular triplet of bases in the template strand of DNA is 5' AGT 3'. The corresponding codon for the mRNA transcribed is __
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3' UCA 5'

Explanation:

The rule of pairing of base-pair says that A and T base pairs with each other with two hydrogen bonds and G and C base pairs with each other with three hydrogen bonds in DNA. In the case of RNA Uracil comes at the place of thymine that means uracil replaces thymine.

Therefore according to this base-pairing rule the corresponding codon of mRNA transcribes from DNA codon 5' AGT 3' will be 3' UCA 5' as U came in place of A nucleotide, C comes in place of G nucleotide, and A comes in place of T nucleotide.  

Therefore the correct answer is 3' UCA 5'.
