Liver and other organ meats contain large quantities of nucleic acids. The digestion of such foods involves RNA hydrolysis, which results in the formation of free ribose. This free ribose can then enter the nonoxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). Write down the outline mechanism by which free ribose can be used as a fuel for glycolysis.

The terrestrial planets are characterized by having a a.) silicate core b.) iron-rich silicate core c.) iron-rich metallic core d.) none of these

Suppose a particular species of tulip plant has three alleles for the gene that codes for flower color. the cr allele produces red tulips, the cp allele produces purple tulips, and the cw allele produces white tulips. cr is dominant over cp and cw, and cp is dominant over cw. for each of the following crosses, determine the expected ratio of offspring for each flower color. cr cp x cp cw cr cw x cp cw 1 red: 1 purple : 0 white, 1 red: 2 purple: 1 white, 2 red: 1 purple 1 white, 1 red: 3 purple : 0 white, 2 red: 0 purple : 2 white, 2 red: 2 purple : 0 white
