21
Q

Which amino acids are in the drop off the larvea

A

Proline and glycin

22
Q

Where does the proline dehydrogenase is suspected to be in organisms that uses proline for producing energy

A

In the Mitochondria close to the transport chain of electrons

23
Q

Through which enzyme Proline can benefit energy

A

Proline dehydrogenase

24
Q

For which usage proline might be the most beneficial

A

When we want a big boost of energy

25
What purpose can glycine serve during an energy production from proline
Through reducing power it can become an antioxidant
26
What are the two function of butterflies
Produce Eggs and distributes Eggs
27
When nectar is full with amino acid it gives more
Fittnes
28
Which pathway does the rafrafim do deal with oxidative stress
Pentose phosphate pathway
29
Will bees will prefer nectar with more amino acids or glucose
Amino acids
30
Which amino acids are there in the nectar that protein is not built from
Beta alanine GABA hydroxyproline
31
How beta alanine is assumed to help with boost of power
Builds carnozine in the muscle It helps lactate to accumulate without lowering the pH and helps for high activity
32
Which function GABA accelerates in vertebrates and invertebrates
Function of the nervous system
33
