Phenylketonuria (pku) is a recessive human disorder in which an individual cannot appropriately metabolize a particular amino acid. the amino acid is not otherwise produced by humans. therefore, the most efficient and effective treatment is which of the following? a) feed them the substrate that can be metabolized into this amino acid. b) transfuse the patients with blood from unaffected donors. c) regulate the diet of the affected persons to severely limit the uptake of the amino acid. d) feed the patients the missing enzymes in a regular cycle, such as twice per week. e) feed the patients an excess of the missing product.

Name the type of chemical that speeds up digestion

After fertilization, which type of cellular division is responsible for the growth and development of a complex, multicellular organism?

Rease is an enzyme used by plants to break down urea (a nitrogen-containing compound) into carbon dioxide and ammonia. urease urea > > > carbon dioxide and ammonia ammonia is broken down by plants into a nitrogen source plants need to grow. thus, plants could not use urea as a nitrogen source unless it was first converted to ammonia. in soybean plants there are two different kinds of urease, one produced in the seeds and the other produced in the leaves of the plant. three types of soybean plants were used in a set of experiments: normal soybeans and two mutant strains, one lacking the urease in the seeds only (strain 1) and one lacking urease in the leaves only (strain 2). experiment 1 separate areas in a field were planted with normal, strain 1, and strain 2 soybeans. all types of soybeans appeared to grow, flower, and produce seeds equally well. there were no externally detectable differences among the strains. experiment 2 small pieces of plant leaves of equal weight were obtained from each type of soybean plant and separately placed on media in culture dishes. tissue growing in this way will become an unorganized clump of cells referred to as callus. to provide a controlled nitrogen source, half the tissue samples of each type were placed on media containing urea, and the other half of the samples were placed on media containing ammonia. after 30 days, the weight gain for each of the callus samples was determined. results are shown in the table below.
