Describe the metabolic pathways in the monarch butterfly that take advantage of milkweed nectar to convert it into an energy currency.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Metabolic pathways in monarch butterflies are as follows:

GlycolysisKreb's cycleOxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

They convert sugar which they obtain from nectar into fats that they store as source of energy. Monarch have a little layer of fatty tissues which aid in conversion of Sugar in to fat.

They consume the stored fat during reproduction. A lot of fat is eventually converted to eggs and some of it is used to provide energy just to sustain the reproductive butterflies.

During winter season, when their metabolic is low they consume energy by converting stored fat into sugar called Trehalose.  The conversion of fat also releases little water which help them to survive during winter.

1) Glycolysis:

Glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase enzyme to give glucose-6phosphate. This glucose-6-phosphate enters into glycolysis and is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate in a series of ten reactions. During glycolysis net two molecules of ATP are synthesised per glucose molecule. Moreover, two molecules of NADH+H+ are also synthesised. In aerobic organisms like monarch butterfly the pyruvate is again oxidised to give acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria. The enzyme responsible for this oxidation is Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex. This reaction occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. Here one CO2 molecule is removed from the pyruvate and one NADH is produced.

2. Kreb's Cycle:

The acetyl-CoA formed enters into the Kreb's cycle by condensing with oxaloacetate. In Kreb's cycle acetyl-CoA is completely oxidised to give carbon dioxide in eight enzymatic reactions. During Kreb's cycle NADH, FADH2 and one molecule of GTP is produced and oxaloacetate is regenerated to continue the cycle.

3. Oxidative Phosphorylation:

The NADH produced in the glycolysis and Krebs cycle and FADH2 produced during Krebs cycle are now oxidised to generate proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gradient is generated when the electrons from the reduced NADH and FADH2 are transported in the electron transport chain(ETC), and are finally accepted by the oxygen.

When the electrons are picked up by the complexes of the ETC they pick protons from the matrix. When the electrons are transferred to next complex the protons are transferred to the inter-membrane space. In this way a proton gradient is generated across the innner membrane of the mitochondria.

This proton gradient is used by the complex V of the ETC. This complex is the enzyme ATP Synthase. This enzyme complex is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. When the protons flow back from the inter-membrane space into the matrix along the concentration gradient , they move through the channel in the ATP Synthase Complex. When these protons flow through this complex it catalyzes the phosphorylation of ADP to give ATP, the energy currency.

The fructose component of the sucrose is first converted into glycogen and then broken down to give glucose-1-phosphate, which enters into glycolysis.

Sucrose cannot enter the pathway of glycolysis as such. It is first hydrolysed to glucose and fructose as described above along with the path way.

Why is the temperature at the extremities, such as the fingers,
sometimes colder than the core body temperature?
O A. So that less energy is lost in cold environments.
OB. The fingers need to be colder to protect the durability of the nails.
C. The fingers do not have thermoregulation mechanisms.
D. So that more energy is lost in cold environments.

Answers

Answer:

A. so that less energy is lost in cold environments.

Explanation:

When it’s cold outside, your body makes sure to keep the blood flowing to your core and vital organs to keep them warm. This can change the amount of blood flow to your hands and feet, making them feel cold. This is normal. The blood vessels in your hands and feet constrict (spasm) when it’s cold, to prevent heat loss from your core

Which statement describes Mendel’s hypotheses regarding gametes?
A) gamete carries two genes for a trait.
B) gamete carries one allele for a gene.
C) gamete can carry multiple alleles for a trait.
D) Some gametes are dominant and some are recessive.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B. A gamete carries one allele for a gene.

Explanation:

Gamete (also called sex cell or reproductive cell) is a haploid cell (having half number of chromosome as compared to the parent cell) that is produced through a cell division, termed as meiosis in sexually reproducing organisms.

According to the Law of segregation given by Gregor Mendel-

During the process of gamete formation, the two alleles of each gene segregate from one another so that a gamete carries one allele for a gene.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

When performing the streak for isolation technique, your result is unexpected: There is only growth obtained in quadrant 1. The growth observed in quadrant 1 is as expected, heavy with no isolated colonies. However, no growth is visible in any other quadrants.
Which of the following errors could explain this unexpected result?
A) The loop did not cross into quadrant 1 when streaking quadrant 2
B) You forgot to flame the loop in between quadrants
C) All of the errors listed here could be responsible for this unexpected result
D) Not enough bacteria was obtained from the starting culture when streaking quadrant 1

Answers

Answer:

A) The loop did not cross into quadrant 1 when streaking quadrant 2

Explanation:

The streak for isolation technique is a method used to get isolated bacterial colonies. This technique consists of, in a petri dish with culture medium, where, with the help of an inoculation loop, the bacteria are scratched on one side of the dish. This side is called the first quadrant. This inoculation loop must then cross with the first quadrant and be dragged to the second quadrant, where new lines must be made. This allows a part of the bacteria from the first quadrant to be carried over to the second. The inoculation loop must cross the second quadrant again to inoculate the third quadrant, and so on.

In this case, we can see that for bacterial colonies to grow in all quadrants, it is essential that the loop crosses in the first quadrant to cross out the second quadrant. If not, only the first quadrant will have bacterial colonies.

Answer:

A) The loop did not cross into quadrant 1 when streaking quadrant 2

Explanation:

There are many different techniques to isolate bacteria populations. Using solid media such as agar, you can perform the streak for isolation technique.

What you want to do by using this technique is to get an isolated colony of the bacteria of interest. And to get it, you need to dilute a sample or inoculum of bacteria as much as possible by streaking it. Every time you do it, you take fewer amounts of cells from the original sample, separating them each time more, to the point of having only one single cell apart by a few millimeters from another cell. The isolated cell divides and forms a new pure colony.

So basically, you need to imaginary divide the agar plate into four quadrants.

You sterilize the loop carefully and take a sample of bacteria, trying to get the smallest amount of inoculum. You will apply the loop with the sample in quadrant one and spread it. You close the plate and turn it, placing the second quadrant in front of you. You sterilize the loop again on the flame and let it cool. You perform the same motion in quadrant two but carefully touching the edge of quadrant one, so you can take some of the cells that you have already spread on it. Once you spread quadrant two, you close the plate and turn it again, so quadrant three is in front of you. You sterilize the loop again on the flame and let it cool. You perform the same motion in quadrant three but carefully touching the edge of quadrant two. Close and rotate the plate. You sterilize the loop and repeat the same motion in the last quadrant. Close the plate and take it to incubation. Finally, you put the loop on the flame for the last time.The importance of extending the streaks into the anterior quadrant is to take a few cells from there and to spread them in the following quadrant. In this way, you are diluting the original inoculum, and separating the cells each time more. The fourth quadrant should have a few isolated cells that will reproduce and form a pure colony. If you do not touch the anterior quadrant while streaking, you will not have any cell in the quadrant, and you will not observe any colony after the incubation. The importance of sterilizing the loop every time you change the quadrant is to avoid contamination with other species. If you do not flame the loop, the result will be too many colonies of different species, probably touching themselves, in each quadrant.

what are the three strategies that the community could place to work with governmental structures to stop illegal dumping​

Answers

Answer:

Illegal Dumping has gotten out of hand.  According to the Los Angeles County Public Works, “People usually dump illegally to avoid collection and disposal fees, or because they believe proper disposal is just ‘too much trouble’.”   This is very unfortunate for our communities who receive the negative consequences of higher taxes for cleanup, environmental hazards, and a breeding ground for rats.

The cost of a one-time cleanup and detoxing of an area can cost thousands of dollars.  But to leave the mess is just not an option.  The best option is to stop the illegal dumping before it happens, preventing the cost of cleanup, preventing the chemicals and toxins from entering the ground water, and preventing the rats and mosquitoes from breeding.  The best areas to live are communities that care about their community!  So, what can a community do to prevent illegal dumping?

Here are some key points to help deter illegal dumping:

Educate the public through the schools and through community awareness groups about the costs, chemical hazards and dangers incurred by illegal dumping

Create safe, public-friendly waste disposal options and advertise them

Create laws that impose stiff fines for the perpetrators and advertise these stiff fines

Use Illegal Dumping Cameras to catch the perpetrators in the act

Use Social Media to ask the public to identify the perpetrators

Follow through with quick clean up

These steps will invite the citizens to be involved and help deter the criminal activity of illegal dumping within your community.

what are the characteristics of normal cells and cancerous cells?​

Answers

Normal cells stop growing (reproducing) when enough cells are present. For example, if cells are being produced to repair a cut in the skin, new cells are no longer produced when there are enough cells present to fill the hole (when the repair work is done).

In contrast, cancer cells don’t stop growing when there are enough cells present. This continued growth often results in a tumor (a cluster of cancer cells) being formed.

From what you know of tonicity, what can you say about the plant cells and the solutions in the test tubes

Answers

Answer:

Tonicity is the relative amount of solutes that is dissolved in solution which determine the direction and level of diffusion.

Explanation:

Tonicity is the relative amount of solutes that is dissolved in solution which determine the direction and level of diffusion. There are three types of tonicity i.e. hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic solution. If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink due to more solute in the external environment. In an isotonic environment, there is no water movement occurs, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell. due to lower amount of water present inside the cell.
