<span> The answer is a misense mutation. In this case, the substitution of the tryosine amino acid with cysteine in the same position in the sequence does not affect the polypeptide becasue both tryosine and cysteine are polar animo acids. If the substitution </span><span><span> in the polypeptide chain </span>was by amino acids with different properties, it would affect the folding of the protein and change its conformation hence also affect its function. </span>
Answer:
D. increasing the number of mitochondria
Explanation:
The mitochondria are membrane-bound cellular organelles found in the cell of an eukaryote. Mitochondrion is responsible for the production of energy since the process which releases the energy (cellular respiration) occurs in it.
In an experimental procedure whereby the amount of energy which is produced by a cell is about to be increased will involve the increase of the number of mitochondria in that cell. Since more mitochondria means more energy production.
Answer: Lipid molecules.
Explanation: Biological membranes are bilayer of phospholipids that control the entrance and exit of molecules in the cells. The major components of phospholipids are the fatty acids. Phospholipids have two components: the fatty acyl chains and the phosphate group. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids molecules face each other at the core of the bilayer, forming a fluid hydrophobic interior while the phosphate (polar head) groups face outward. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer held by hydrophobic interactions between the membrane lipids and hydrophobic domains in the proteins. Both proteins and lipids move laterally in the plane of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.
