Answer:
True
Explanation:
Reproduction is one of the essential characteristics of all living beings. However, if they reproduce to their full capability, the number of offspring would be higher than the available resource. Due to this reason there is always shortage of resources and hence competition arises among the species.
The fit species survive among all the competing species while the remaining weak species die. As Darwin also said that species have the ability to reproduce uncontrollably therefore, competition among the species for survival is a mode of population regulation
Hence, the given statement is true
Answer: B. In hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, ATP is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate
Explanation:
In hypoxic tissues such as new cancerous cells, the vascular system is still underdeveloped, thus oxygen supply is reduced. To meet energy need, additional glucose is needed to convert lactate (result of anaerobic glycolysis) to pyruvate which can then go into the TCA cycle to yield energy. This phenomenon is very common in muscle tissues during exercise.
Answer:
Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions inside cells by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. In nature, exergonic reactions do not require energy beyond activation energy to proceed, and they release energy.
