Certain chemicals, such as heavy metals (e.g., lead, Mercury), persistent organic pollutants (e.g., polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs), and some synthetic chemicals (e.g., certain pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals), can accumulate in the body and are difficult to metabolize and excrete safely. These compounds may lead to toxic effects, as they can disrupt biological processes and cause long-term health issues. Additionally, some chemicals can evade metabolic pathways due to their complex structures, making detoxification challenging.
No, C. glutamicum is not able to ferment lactose as it lacks the necessary enzymes to metabolize this sugar. Instead, C. glutamicum is known for its ability to ferment glucose, sucrose, and other sugars to produce amino acids.
Cold sterilization is achieved through the use of chemicals such as ethylene oxide or hydrogen peroxide. These chemicals are able to effectively kill microorganisms on medical equipment or surfaces without the need for heat. Cold sterilization is particularly useful for heat-sensitive items.
You will be able to see the eclipse from Lebanon, MO, but it will not quite be a total eclipse. You will need eye protection to watch it safely.
Saltwater fish have special cells in their gills that actively pump out excess salt ions through a process called osmoregulation. This allows them to maintain a balance of salts inside their bodies despite living in a high salt environment. Additionally, they have efficient kidneys and excrete concentrated urine to further regulate their internal salt levels.

Many man-made chemicals are not biodegradable because they contain chemical structures that are not easily broken down by natural biological processes. These chemicals may be designed to be stable and resistant to degradation, leading to accumulation in the environment. Additionally, the enzymes that organisms use to break down these chemicals may not recognize or be able to metabolize them effectively.
Yes
because we may not produce enzymes able to metabolize these molecules
All species of bats are the only truly flying mammals, and are very able to fly safely.
Many bacteria that are able to metabolize citrate do not produce a positive result on citrate utilization tests because they usually require specific conditions or mutations to express the necessary citrate transporter genes. In the absence of these conditions or mutations, the bacteria cannot transport citrate into the cell for metabolism, resulting in a negative test result.
I have not been able to excrete in 3 weeks. I have taken stool softners, laxatives, eating prunes, drinking a lot of water and even tried enemas. What else can I try and what will happen if I still don't go to the bathroom?
no
You need to get that senior to a doctor who will be able to appropriately diagnose the underlining cause, and prescribe treatment.
You wouldn't be able to stop safely without them.
When the liver is damaged as with hepatitis it is no longer able to metabolize the bilirubin in the blood and causes jaundice which is a yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin.
They don't move, don't metabolize food, don't recombinate and don't have babies.
they shouldn't be able to it bring chemicals into foods which gives more older people cancer.
