Also the alimentary canal or digestive tract
Complex organic food molecules such as sugars, fats, and proteins are rich sources of energy for cells because much of the energy used to form these molecules is literally stored within the chemical bonds that hold them together. Scientists can measure the amount of energy stored in foods using a device called a bomb calorimeter. With this technique, food is placed inside the calorimeter and heated until it burns. The excess heat released by the reaction is directly proportional to the amount of energy contained in the food.
Answer: C. Ii & III are correct
II. reduced intracellular ATP.
III. apoptosis or necrosis.
Explanation:
Cytochrome c oxidase controls the last step of food oxidation. Cytochrome c oxidase is an enzyme responsible for electron transfer in the electron transport chain (ETC), it inhibit in slowing down or stopping the ETC.
Consequently, ATP production would be gradually reduced, as the ETC is responsible for the majority of ATP production. This shows option II is correct.
The question starts by stating that cyanide is highly toxic, so this match up with the fact that a large dose would also cause cell death (apoptosis or necrosis). Therefore, option III is also accurate.
Option I: Inhibiting the ETC is consequential as it reduces oxygen demand because electrons would not flow to oxygen, the final electron acceptor.
Answer:
This could be possible if the wife is a carrier of the FMO3 allele. Therefore the two carrier parents must have passed the defective alleles to the child, who now possessed the gene for the FMO3, and said to be dominant for the fish odor.
In genetics a Carrier is an individual who inherited a defective allele (FMO3) , but do not show the manifestations of the allele, or symptoms of the diseases attributed to it. Therefore the wife is a Carrier for the allele if the child could show this symptoms of fish odor.
