20
Q

What does the Wasp do with the larva after it feeds it with The bee

A

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
Q

What purpose can glycine serve during an energy production from proline

A

Through reducing power it can become an antioxidant

26
Q

What are the two function of butterflies

A

Produce Eggs and distributes Eggs

27
Q

When nectar is full with amino acid it gives more

A

Fittnes

28
Q

Which pathway does the rafrafim do deal with oxidative stress

A

Pentose phosphate pathway

29
Q

Will bees will prefer nectar with more amino acids or glucose

A

Amino acids

30
Q

Which amino acids are there in the nectar that protein is not built from

A

Beta alanine
GABA
hydroxyproline

31
Q

How beta alanine is assumed to help with boost of power

A

Builds carnozine in the muscle It helps lactate to accumulate without lowering the pH and helps for high activity

32
Q

Which function GABA accelerates in vertebrates and invertebrates

A

Function of the nervous system
