Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell which provides energy for all the cellular activities. Mitochondria are bounded by two membranes: the inner and outer membrane. Space between the two membranes is called the intermembrane compartment and space is filled with fluid is called the mitochondrial matrix.

Answer to Problem 1Q

Correct answer:

Mitochondria are believed to have originated from bacteria. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Option (c) is given as “bacteria”.

Explanation of Solution

Justify the reason for the correct statement:

The bacteria, archaea,and eukaryotes all have evolved from different kind of cells. The precursor of eukaryotes and prokaryotes is known as “Last common ancestor” (LCA). Theory of endosymbiosis explains that a bacterial cell engulfed the descendent cell of LCA (pre eukaryotic) and became the permanent part of LCA cell serving as mitochondria. Later with time, this association gave rise to the formation of the first eukaryotic cell.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Justify the reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “archaea”.

Mitochondria did not originate from archaea. Archaea, bacteria and pre eukaryotic cells developed from the last common ancestor way before mitochondria were formed. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b) is given as “invagination of the cell membrane”.

Mitochondria did not originate from invagination of membranes. Mitochondria originated from association of pre eukaryotic and bacterial cell. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “chloroplasts”.

Chloroplast and mitochondria are believed to have evolved by the endosymbiosis. The theory of endosymbiosis explains that some of the eukaryotic cell organelles were generated by the symbiosis between pre eukaryotic and bacterial cells. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a),(b), and(d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Mitochondria is likely to have originated from the bacterial cell association with the pre eukaryotic cell.

Glitazones reduce insulin resistance by binding to a transcription factor in adipocytes, thereby reducing thesecretion of fatty acids. Glitazones are taken orally (in pill form). Using pharmacokinetic modeling, deriveequations to describe how the concentration of glitazones varies in the plasma as a function of time. Yourequations should be of the form: dCglitazone /dt = something, or dMglitazone /dt = something. Your model shouldinclude three compartments: the gut, the plasma, and the fatty tissues. Make sure to include a diagram thatillustrates your thinking, state all assumptions, and define your variables. Do not solve the equations.
Case Study—Ella Review the case study and then answer Parts A through F. Ella has a family history of diabetes. She wants to follow a healthful eating pattern that can lower her risk for developing this condition. Her dietitian recommends a goal of 450 to 600 kcal per meal and advises Ella to follow the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, which recommend limiting added sugar. She also recommends that Ella choose whole grains rather than processed grains. Ella decides to pack a lunch to take to work every day.
