2. For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase in the list below. Not all words or phrases will be used; use each word or phrase only once During transcription in __________________ cells, transcriptional regulators that bind to DNA thousands of nucleotides away from a gene’s promoter can affect a gene’s transcription. The __________________ is a complex of proteins that links distantly bound transcription regulators with the proteins bound closer to the transcriptional start site. Transcriptional activators can interact with histone __________________s, which alter chromatin by modifying lysines in the tail of histone proteins to allow greater accessibility to the underlying DNA. Transcription regulators can also recruit _______________________ to the promoter region of a gene, causing the DNA packaged in chromatin more accessible to proteins required for ___________________.

Microtubules are formed from the tubulin heterodimer, which is composed of the nucleotide-binding __________________ protein and the __________________ protein. Tubulin dimers are stacked together into protofilaments; __________________ parallel protofilaments form the tubelike structure of a microtubule. __________________ rings are important for microtubule nucleation and are found in the __________________ , which is usually found near the cell’s nucleus in cells that are not undergoing mitosis.

For this assignment, you will read the scenario and then use the provided Excel and Word document templates to complete your assignment before uploading them to the assignment submission area.

Scenario

Larry and Beth are both married, working adults. They both plan for retirement and consider the $6,000 annual contribution a must.

First, consider Beth's savings. She began working at age 20 and began making an annual contribution to her IRA of $6,000 each year until age 32 (12 contributions). She then left full-time work to have children and be a stay-at-home mom. She left her IRA invested and plans to begin drawing from her IRA when she is 65.

Larry started contributing to his IRA at age 32. In the first 12 years of his working career, he used his discretionary income to buy a home, upgrade the family cars, take vacations, and pursue his golfing hobby. At age 32, he made his first $6,000 contribution to an IRA and contributed $6,000 every year up until age 65 (33 contributions). He plans to retire at age 65 and make withdrawals from his IRA.

Both IRA accounts grow at an 8% annual rate. Do not consider any tax or inflation effect.

Instructions: Please answer in the below format only

• Create a chart summarizing the details of the investment for both Larry and Beth.
• Write a one-paragraph summary in which you explain the results in terms of the time value of money for both Larry and Beth. (Hint: discuss why one person was able to save a great deal more than the other.)

in a 1200 word report, give an overview of the biochemical events that occur at the start point of a running race (that is, before the runner has commenced running), during the race, after 5 minutes and after 45 minutes, in terms of:

• ● the processes involved in the mobilisation and/or use of both types of fuels (carbohydrates and lipids).

• ● a brief overview of the biochemical pathways used to degrade these fuel molecules

• ● a comparison of the yield of ATP for both fuels

take into account answering the following in the report:

• What are the main time points you have to cover?

• ● What fuels are used at each time point?

• ● What pathways are required to mobilize the fuel?

• ● What pathways are involved in breakdown of the fuel?

• ● What cellular compartment and tissue types are involved?

• ● What are the inputs and outputs of each pathway?

• ● How much energy is derived from each fuel?
