In tissues deriving energy anaerobically (such as rapidly exercising skeletal muscle), lactate, rather than pyruvate, serves as

the end product of glycolysis.
Which of the following statements best explains why pyruvate is converted to lactate under these circumstances?
A. The mitochondrion is more permeable to lactate than to pyruvate.
B. Lactate, but not pyruvate, serves as a substrate for gluconeogenesis.
C. The conversion of pyruvate to lactate is accompanied by the production of ATP.
D. NAD+ necessary for the glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase reaction is regenerated

Answer: Option D

pyruvate is converted to lactate when NAD+ necessary for glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase reaction is regenerated in glycolysis.

Explanation:

Anaerobic glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to lactate in muscles cells when there is limited supply of oxygen.

When there is not enough oxygen in the muscle cells for oxidation of pyruvate to NADH(nicotinamide adenine dinuleotide hydrogen) produced in glycolysis, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) which is important for glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase is regenerated from NADH by reduction of pyruvate to lactate.

As a rat is taking a drink of green, licorice-flavored water, it receives a painful tail-pinch. The next day it is given a choic
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The rat will most likely take more of the licorice flavored water

Explanation:

The rat will take more keen on taking more of the licorice flavored water than green water because it has associated the taste of the green water with painful pinch it received on the tail, causing it to refrain the next time it has a choice.

In behavioral psychology, animals are known to tie their actions to either pleasurable or painful feelings. Naturally, the behavior of every animal is conditioned in such a way that it seeks pleasure and avoids pain.

Once the rat begins to associate the taste or sight of the green water with pain, it abstains.

Neville has low blood pressure and his pituitary started producing a homorone to maintain water balance his blood pressure event
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: The options are missing in the question,the options are;

A) Positive feedback will stop the release of this hormone.

B) Positive feedback will speed up the release of this hormone.

C) Negative feedback will speed up the release of this hormone.

D) Negative feedback will stop the release of this hormone.

The correct answer to the question is option D

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WILL STOP THE RELEASE OF THIS HORMONE.

Explanation: The hormone the will be produced is known as Antidiuretic hormone (ADH).it is otherwise known as VASOPRESSIN.It is secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

The main effect of Antidiuretic hormone is to reduce urine output,(diuresis is the production of large amount of urine). Antidiuretic hormone acts in the distal convulated tubules and the collecting ducts of the nephrons of the kidneys,it increases their permeability to water and more of the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed. Antidiuretic hormone secretion is determined by the osmotic pressure of the blood circulating to the osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus.

As osmotic pressure rises,for example as a result of dehydration, secretion of Antidiuretic hormone increases. With this,there is Increased reabsorption of water reducing the amount of urine produced.This implies that more water is retained in the body making the rise in the osmotic pressure of the blood to be low,for example,after a large fluid intake, secretion of Antidiuretic hormone is reduced,less water is reabsorbed and more urine is produced.

At high concentrations,for example after severe blood loss, antidiuretic hormone causes smooth muscle contraction, especially vasoconstriction in small arteries.this has a pressor effect,raising systemic blood pressure.

Peroxidase is an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide in cells. It accomplishes this because of its structure. What part of
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The answer is a heme cofactor.

Explanation:

Peroxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes oxidation/reduction reaction by using hydrogen peroxide as a substrate.  

Donor+H2O2 ↔ Oxidized donor + H2O

Peroxidase active site can contain a heme cofactor that has an iron ion and a porphyrin molecule that acts as an electron donor to the hydrogen peroxide which is then reduced to water.
