why do our digestive systems produce separate enzymes to digest proteins, fats, and carbohydrates?
Answer:
The digestive system produces different types of enzymes in order to convert proteins, fats and carbohydrates into smaller molecules and facilitate their absorption.
Explanation:
Once food is ingested, it must go through a process of digestion, which involves the conversion of food into smaller molecules, in order to facilitate its absorption at the intestinal level.
There are different enzymes, produced in the digestive system, for this purpose:
Proteases degrade meat proteins to convert them into amino acids. Lipases convert fats into fatty acids. Amylases convert sugars and carbohydrates into glucose.The main objective is to obtain the fundamental components of each food to be assimilated by the organism, via intestinal absorption.

How does the formation of NAD+ differ between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
A. NAD+ is formed in aerobic respiration by a fermentation process and formed in anaerobic respiration by oxidation of NADH.
B. NAD+ is formed by a fermentation process in anaerobic respiration by the conversion of pyruvate into lactate and by simple oxidation of NADH in aerobic respiration.
C. Under aerobic conditions, the electron acceptor is a molecule other than oxygen for NAD+ production, whereas under anaerobic conditions the electron acceptor is oxygen.
D. NAD+ is formed by the breakdown of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate in anaerobic respiration whereas in aerobic respiration it is formed by the breakdown of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol.
Answer:
B. NAD+ is formed by a fermentation process in anaerobic respiration by the conversion of pyruvate into lactate and by simple oxidation of NADH in aerobic respiration.
Explanation:
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an important coenzyme that may exist in two different forms: oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH). The fermentation is an anaerobic oxidation-reduction reaction where pyruvate and NADH are reactants, while lactate and NAD+ are products generated by the oxidation of NADH to NAD+ and pyruvate to lactate, respectively. On the other hand, during aerobic respiration, NADH generated by glycolysis is oxidized to form NAD+ by the donation of its electrons to reduce pyruvate to lactate. Subsequently, NAD+ is reused in glycolysis (again) in order to generate more molecules of ATP.
Genes A and B are neutral. A weakly beneficial mutation arises in the population. This mutation is 100 base pairs away from Gene A and 1000 base pairs away from Gene B. If this mutation were to go to fixation within the population, which gene would be more likely to go to fixation and what is the term for this process? Is there any reason to suspect that one or both of these genes may not go to fixation? Why or why not?
Answer:
Both genes would be likely to go to fixationThe term for this process is "linked genes"The reason to suspect that both of these genes may not go to fixation is that they are too close to the mutation and the recombination frequency between them is very very low.Explanation:
Independent assortment law establishes that the alleles from two or more different genes distribute in gametes independently from each other. In other words, a gamete receives an allele from a gene that does not depend nor influence the allele of another gene in the same gamete. This can only be applied to independent genes. These genes segregate independently after crossing-over because they are located far away from each other.
Some other genes, however, are too close to each other and they do not segregate independently. These are the linked genes that do not exhibit an independent distribution, and they inherit together more frequently.
Crossing-over between linked genes that are very close to each other in the chromosome is not that common. Crossing-over during meiosis occurs randomly in different positions all along the chromosome, and its occurrence frequency in the area between two genes depends on the distance between them. A short distance between genes is a very little target for crossing-over to occur, which means that only a few of them will happen, compared with the number of events between genes that are more separated between each other.
Two genes that are very close will have a few recombination events and are strongly bounded.
The more separated two genes are, the more chances of recombination there will be. The closer they are, the fewer chances of recombination there will be.
Genes that express 50% of recombination frequency or more are not linked genes.
To analyze the recombination frequency, we have to know that
1% of recombination = 1 map unit = 1centi Morgan = 1,000,000 base pairs.
And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.
The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products one of them results in a recombinant one.
In the exposed example we know that the distance of gene A from the mutation is 100 base pairs, and the distance of gene B from the mutation is 1000 base pairs.
1,000,000 base pairs ------------------ 1% recombination frequency
1000 base pairs -----------------------X = 0.001% recombination frequency
100 base pairs ------------------------ X = 0.0001% recombination frequency
According to the recombination frequency between the mutation and gene A, and between the mutation and gene B, we can assume that both genes are linked to the mutation, as they seem to be too close to it. They are so close, that their recombination frequency is very little.

How does the control group setup in an experimental differ from the other setups in the same experiment?
Answer:
A control group setup in an experiment is used to see if there are other variables in play during the experiment. Say I was to test which type of blood is a shark's favorite, my control would be putting red paint in one of the set ups to see if the shark is just interested in the red color of blood, instead of the other types of blood.
Explanation:
Answer:
The control group does not receive the independent variable during the experiment.
Explanation:
The group that will receive the independent variable during the experiment is the experimental group. The dependent variable is what you will measure as a result. The control group is not receiving the independent variable during the group, as it is what you're measuring the experimental group to.

The knee ________.
a. is completely enclosed by a strong articular capsule
b. is a multiaxial joint
c. has ligaments present inside as well as surrounding the articular capsule
d. is the simplest joint in the body
Answer:
The correct answer is: C) has ligaments present inside as well as surrounding the articular capsule.
Explanation:
The knee joint is a hinge (ginglymus) type synovial joint that is formed by three different bones: the femur, the tibia, and the patella.
Given the nature of the hinge joint, it should only allow flexion and extension, but it also grants a small degree of internal and external rotation. For this reason, the knee joint cannot be considered a multiaxial joint, since it only fully moves in one axis and slightly moves in a second one (this is why most people consider the knee joint a uniaxial joint, but some others say it is actually a biaxial one).
The knee joint isn't completely enclosed by a strong articular capsule. The knee joint is rather thin and it contains the patella, menisci, bursae, and ligaments of the knee.
The knee is not the simplest joint in the body. It is formed by three bones and there's also the menisci, which are fibrocartilaginous structures that help increase the stability of the joint and act as shock absorbers as well.
The knee does have ligaments both inside and outside the articular capsule. The intracapsular ligaments are two cruciate ligaments (one anterior and one posterior), which hold the tibia in place; the transverse ligament that connects both menisci; and the posterior and anterior meniscofemoral ligaments. The extracapsular ligaments are the patellar ligaments (connects the patella to the tibia), the two collateral ligaments (medial and fibular, one on each side of the knee, connecting the femur to the tibia and to the fibula, respectively), and the anterolateral ligament.

Answer:
Non-coding DNA regions play important roles in regulating transcriptional activity by encoding different types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), acting as scaffold attachment regions, acting as enhancer specific regions, etc.
Explanation:
Historically, it had been believed that non-coding DNA sequences were 'junk DNA' since they don't encode for proteins (beyond the sequences that are transcribed into functional non-coding RNAs, i.e., transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA). However, in the last years, it has been shown that non-coding DNA sequences play critical roles in regulating gene expression and genome function. For example, evolutionary conserved non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with regulatory roles on gene expression such as, for example, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been mapped in non-coding DNA sequences, thereby evidencing the functional significance of these regions. In consequence, the conservative nature of certain non-coding DNA sequences evidence that mutations in such regions may have significant deleterious effects, and thereby they could have a negative impact on the fitness of the individual.

Euglena are unicellular organisms classified into the Kingdom Protista, and the Phylum Euglenophyte. All euglena have chloroplasts and can make their own food by photosynthesis. They are not completely autotrophic though, euglena can also absorb food from their environment; euglena usually live in quiet ponds or puddles.
Euglena move by a flagellum (plural ‚ flagella), which is a long whip-like structure that acts like a little motor. The flagellum is located on the anterior (front) end, and twirls in such a way as to pull the cell through the water. It is attached at an inward pocket called the reservoir. Color the reservoir grey and the flagellum black.
The Euglena is unique in that it is both heterotrophic (must consume food) and autotrophic (can make its own food). Chloroplasts within the euglena trap sunlight that is used for photosynthesis, and can be seen as several rod like structures throughout the cell. Color the chloroplasts green. Euglena also have an eyespot at the anterior end that detects light, it can be seen near the reservoir. This helps the euglena find bright areas to gather sunlight to make their food. Color the eyespot red.Euglena can also gain nutrients by absorbing them across their cell membrane, hence they become heterotrophic when light is not available, and they cannot photosynthesize.
The euglena has a stiff pellicle outside the cell membrane that helps it keep its shape, though the pellicle is somewhat flexible and some euglena can be observed scrunching up and moving in an inchworm type fashion. Color the pellicle blue.
In the center of the cell is the nucleus, which contains the cell's DNA and controls the cell's activities. The nucleolus can be seen within the nucleus. Color the nucleus purple, and the nucleolus pink.
The interior of the cell contains a jelly-like fluid substance called cytoplasm. Color the cytoplasm light yellow. Toward the posterior of the cell is a star-like structure: the contractile vacuole. This organelle helps the cell remove excess water, and without it the euglena could take in some much water due to osmosis that the cell would explode. Color the contractile vacuole orange.

(Q005) Humans are unusual because our cultural practices can actually change our environmental circumstances. We can change the environment in which natural selection acts on our traits. Describe how this process has played out in the evolution of adult lactose tolerance. Describe how this process has played out in the maintenance of the sickle-cell trait. Can you hypothesize any similar situations where our future evolution may be influenced by cultural practices we have today?
Answer:
sickle cell disease or sickle cell disease is about the inheritance of metaplastic cells or cells that do not respect normal cell morphology from the mother or father to a child.
This is not associated with cultures, instead lactose tolerance is.
Explanation:
Lactose tolerance is basically an adaptation of the body in those humans who continue to drink milk throughout their lives, once the growth stage is over, milk should be suspended, although some continue to consume it and lactase continues to be encoded and expressed.
Some people for cultural reasons or environmentalist lifestyles do not drink animal milk, but rather vegetable milk.
How does Nitrogen get from the atmosphere to the soil?
Answer:
Plants get their nitrogen indirectly from the air via microorganisms in the soil and in certain plant roots.
Answer:
Microorganisms and certain plant roots in the soil
Explanation:
"Plants get the nitrogen that they need from the soil, where it's already been fixed by bacteria and archaea. Bacteria and archaea in the soil and in the roots of some plants have the ability to convert molecular nitrogen from the air (N2) to ammonia (NH3)... Such organisms are called "diazotrophs". From here, various microorganisms convert ammonia to other nitrogen compounds that are easier for plants to use. In this way, plants get their nitrogen indirectly from the air via microorganisms in the soil and in certain plant roots."

Other than shape, what characteristics are used to identify the various bacterial species?
Answer:
Explanation:
One major characteristic used to identify bacterial species is by Gram staining. This makes bacteria to be classified into two broad classes; Gram positive bacteria (appear purple after stain) and Gram negative bacteria (appear pink after stain).
Another characteristic used is the presence or absence of capsule.
Other characteristics include there motility (which can be due to the presence of flagella), bonding tendency (which can be individually or in pairs) and also pathogenic bacteria can be classified as intracellular or extracellular bacteria.

what solution describes a saturated solution?
Answer:
This is not my answer, I found it on the internet.
No more solutes can be dissolved in a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure.
Explanation:
A saturated solution is a solution that consists of maximum amount and concentration of the solute that is dissolved in the solvent.
The extra amount of solute cannot be dissolved in a saturated solution.
The saturated solution is composed of solute and solvent and solvent cannot dissolve more solute at some extent.
The carbonated beverage is an ideal example of saturated solution.
A saturated solution is one that contains the greatest concentration and amount of the solute dissolved in the solvent. In a saturated solution, the excess solute cannot dissolve.
What is Saturated solution?Solvent and solute make up the saturated solution, and to a certain extent, solvent cannot dissolve more solute. A saturated solution is best exemplified by fizzy beverages.
A solute's solubility is the greatest amount of that solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure. The moles of solute per volume (mol/L) or the mass of solute per mass of solvent (g/g) are other common ways to express solubility.
There is typically a limit to how much solute can dissolve in a given amount of solvent, even for extremely soluble compounds. In general, temperature and pressure—for gases—as well as the energy components we have already covered affect a substance's solubility.
Therefore, A saturated solution is one that contains the greatest concentration and amount of the solute dissolved in the solvent. In a saturated solution, the excess solute cannot dissolve.
