A scientist studies the production of a key digestive enzyme in silk moths. The moths have one gene for this enzyme, and the scientist extracts mRNA transcribed from this gene as well as protein translated from it. The gene has three introns in its sequence. If the same scientist extracts the DNA for this gene and finds that it becomes methylated over the life of the organism, how will digestion change over time? A. It will occur at lower pH. B. It will rely more on this enzyme over time. C. It will use methylated copies of the enzyme. D. It will involve a lesser quantity of this enzyme over time.

Why are cattle able to survive, grow, and reproduce on a plant diet which does not contain most of the essential amino acids required for their health? Select one: a. Their saliva has cellulase and can therefore digest cellulose present in plant cell walls b. Like rabbits, cattle can re-ingest their feces c. Bacteria in their rumen synthesize essential amino acids from digested plant material d. They are unique in that they can synthesize all essential amino acids in their liver from a variety of metabolic precursors e. They are autotrophs

What best describes the relationship between essential amino acids in humans and the number of steps in the amino acid synthesis pathway? a)Generally, the more steps there are in the synthesis pathway, the more likely the amino acid is to be essential. b)There is no relationship between number of steps in the synthesis pathway and whether an amino acid is essential or not. c)All amino acid synthesis pathways are the same length, so all amino acids are equally likely to be essential. d)Generally, the fewer steps there are in the synthesis pathway, the more likely the amino acid is to be essential.
