Summary Introduction

To draw: The metabolic pathways with the help of arrows on the basis of the given statements.

Given data: The metabolic pathway is described with the help of the following statements:

1. L forms either N or M and M forms O.

2. O will form either R or P, R form S and P will form Q.

3. The reaction from L to M is inhibited by O.

4. The reaction from O to R is inhibited by S and from O to P is inhibited by Q.

The inhibition reaction should be drawn with the help of red colored arrows and a minus sign.

Introduction: The cell possesses an ability to regulate the pathways (metabolic) by controlling the activity of various enzymes. This is done by switching off or on the gene which encodes for particular enzymes. There would be occurrences of chemical chaos, if the metabolic pathways of a cell operate simultaneously, so they are operated distinctly.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Which of the given reactions from the branched metabolic pathway would prevail, if Q and S will be present in higher concentrations.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
