How is protein used by the body? Select all the possible metabolic fates of protein from the options below.

Biology
1 answer:
Norma-Jean [14]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1. Synthesis and repair of muscle tissue

2. Production of ATP

3. Synthesis of glucose

Explanation:

Proteins are primarily used for tissue repairs and synthesis. They are polymers of amino acids used to make hormones, enzymes and other chemicals of the body. Therefore proteins are only reserved for synthesis and repairs of tissues.

During extreme starvation periods when then is no source of carbohydrates and adipose tissues has been depleted/used up, proteins are alternatively used as source of energy in form of amino acids that enters the liver. Tissues such as muscles are protein degraded to provide the brain with energy in form of ketone bodies and glucose, thus the weight loss in people suffering from malnutrition.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited by a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of g
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

Calculate the volume of 1 M NaOH needed to prepare 12.0 mL of a 0.10-M solution. Prepare this solution. (Refer to the Dilutions
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

1.2 mL

Explanation:

<em>This is a problem of simple dilution. The dilution principle simply agrees that the number of moles before dilution must be equal to the number of moles after dilution.</em>

Recall that: number of moles = mass/molar mass or molarity x volume.

Hence, for the dilution principle:

              initial molarity x initial volume = final molarity x final volume.

In this case, initial molarity of NaOH = 1 M, initial volume = ?, final molarity = 0.1 M, final volume = 12.0 mL.

Initial volume = final molarity x final volume/initial molarity

                       = 0.1 x 12/1 = 1.2 mL

It thus means that 1.2 mL of 1 M NaOH would be taken and then diluted up to 12.0 mL mark by the addition of distilled water in order to produce 12.0 mL, 0.10 M NaOH solution.
