But if a person ate lots of fruits, due to rapid accumulation of ATP, NADH the body will switch to lipogenesis. This will happen even before the utilsation of that ATP However if a person took more glucose, due to regulation of glucose utilisation, the rate of formation of ATP will be slower...

A wild guess: Maybe there's not much space for all that HCO3- in the RBC, its m.wt. being 61 and for Cl- it is 35 ? A better guess I think would be the altered pH of the RBC cytosol due to HCO3- accumulating in it causes it to become more basic? Maybe the HCO3- may try to displace the H+ from...

I read in Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry, that since fruits have fructose and fructose isn't all that well regulated as glucose metabolism they can make you overweight! Are there any studies that prove/disprove these? For example, fructose can be metabolised without regulation and form...

In my physiology examination, I came across this question: Find the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), when Urine Concentration of Urea (U) = 70 (I don't remember the exact values, but it is of no importance), Urine flow rate (V) = 1ml/min Blood level of Urea = 20 ( or something) In...

All insurance ads have this line "Insurance is a subject mater of solicitation". What do they mean?

Lesser of trigonometry and calculus Branch which has less trig and calculus? I'm afraid of those two, coz they(in my school, in India) give u an equation and for no apparent reason u multiply by something, divide by something, separate the term into two, and viola u get the answer. Its too...

What does an MBA graduate do? I've always wondered that coz, if u get an MBA from Indian Institute of Management u get a salary of like Rs.1 crore(I think that's roughly USD250,000. Not sure if that's a high salary in US but definitely high according to Indian standards ). What do they...

I think I get it now. Initially B and Area vectors are antiparallel, so flux is negative. Hence, the induced emf is positive.

Ya. But how will that matter?

From either ends of the coil

Electro magnetic Induction problem. Simple one, but please check wehre I am wrong. Homework Statement A magnet moving down, goes through a coil and exits it below. Plot the graph showing variation of induced emf in coil with time. Homework Equations emf = - Flux/Time The Attempt...

During qualitative analysis of Barium, Strontium, Calcium, why do we use NH4CO3, NH4OH, NH4Cl. Even if we were to apply common ion effect, two NH4+ ions are enough right? What is the need for third one?

What is the chemistry behind the following tests? 1)Biuret 2)Xanthoprotic 3)Millon's 4)Mollisch's test(Carbohydrates)

My Bio textbook says that, by introducing the virus coat protein gene into a plant cell the cell becomes virus resistant. How is that possible?

Why are the tuition fees in colleges so high in US, UK? (>$20000) The people at education fairs tell me that you can work part time and pay a substantial part. I can't believe that by working part time I can pay my tuition while my full time working father cant. Can you really pay the tuition...

My book says self pollination maintains the parental characters or purity of the race indefinitely and is used to maintain pure lines for hybridization experiments. How can that be true. Coz, meiosis takes place in micro & mega spore mother cells. So there is crossing over which will lead to...

What exactly will the US government do when search engines like AOL, google turn over the search queries over to the government?

Basically in India, we now have the Forward castes and Backward castes. The forwards basically have the rich folks/ educated/ well off (of course there are some poor there too). The backward castes were full of suppressed people. Not allowed to even cast their shadows on the FCs coz even their...

Can anyone suggest ideas for interesting projects in Biology, preferably Botany. There should be some amount of practical work involved in it. It shouldn't go too complex like DNA fingerprinting, etc.

If 6.8 * 10-4 is ionisation constant(IC) of HF, what is the IC of its conjugate base. HF +H2O -----> H3O+ +F- So F- is the conjugate base(CB) I figured the IC of CB would be the reciprocal of IC of HF. But the answer given is the same but multiplied by Ionic product of water i.e. 10-14 Please...

Why does the wavelength of the wave change when source is moving but not when listener moves?

Does the model basically quantisize everything?

What exactly is electromagnetic flux? In wikipedia I read it is the " surface integral of a vector field" what is a vector field? Is it the electric field. What exactly is the electric field? Please explain it to me with using gravitational peotential, etc. as an example. How is the...

Aren't we doing some work to prevent the gas from expanding if we maintain the constant volume. So shouldn't molar specific heat at constant pressure be equal to constant volume?

I thought pressure was inversely propotional to volume. So if u increase pressure volume should also increase to decrease the pressure

When ice is @ eqilibrium with water, the pressure is increased, what happens to the eqilibrium?

A man standing near the top of the ladder fells unstable. Why? Is it due to the change in centre of mass? A thin wheel can stay upright on its rim if it is rolled but when it stops it falls down, Why?
