Balance the stoichiometric relationship below to have the same number of carbons on each side, same number of oxygens, and same number of hydrogens. If this fuel source is the primary fuel used in mitochondrial respiration, what would you predict to be the respiratory exchange ratio? Is this fuel most likely a carbohydrate, lipid, or protein? C6H10O5 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

1
carbohydrate

0.71
lipid

0.8
protein

2. given that most biochemical (other than coal) rocks react with hydrochloric acid, what does that tell you about organisms?

What is responsible for the uneven heating between the poles and the equator on any given day

Transposon can cause mutations in genes at or near the site of transposon insertion. it is possible for these elements to transpose away from their original site, causing a reversion of the mutant phenotype. in some cases, however, even more severe phenotypes appear when these elements excise from this site, due to events at or near the mutant allele. what might be happening to the transposon or the nearby gene to create more severe mutations?
