Answer:

Cyclins are the regulatory subunits of holoenzyme CDK complexes that control progression through cell-cycle checkpoints by phosphorylating and inactivating target substrates. Cyclins drive the events of the cell cycle by partnering with a family of enzymes called the cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks).

Kinases are a type of enzyme (a protein that speeds up chemical reactions in the body) that adds chemicals called phosphates to other molecules, such as sugars or proteins. This may cause other molecules in the cell to become either active or inactive. Kinases are a part of many cell processes.

Telomeres are DNA-protein structures that form protective caps at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes. They constitute the safeguards of chromosome degradation and are responsible for maintaining genomic integrity.

The key difference between cyclins and kinases is that cyclins are regulatory proteins that have no enzymatic function in the cell cycle, while kinases are catalytic proteins that have an enzymatic function in the cell cycle.

Hope this helps!! Im taking bio right now and its very hard

How do scientists use seismic waves to determine the interior structure of Earth?
Rom4ik [11]
<span>Much of our understanding of the basic structure and composition of Earth and the other planets in our solar system is not strenuously debated. We can infer a surprising amount of information from the size, mass and moment of inertia of the planets, all of which can be determined from routine astronomical observations. Measurements of surface chemical composition, either by direct sampling (as has been done on Earth, the moon, and Mars) or through spectroscopic observations, can be used to estimate elemental abundances and the degree of chemical differentiation that occurred as the planets condensed from the solar nebula. Remote observations of the gravitational field can be used to understand how a planet's mass is distributed, whereas the strength and shape of the magnetic field provides some constraint on the structure of a metallic core. The specifics of structure and composition, however, are much more debatable. And it is these details that tell us a much more extensive and ultimately more interesting story about the internal dynamics of the planets and their evolution. As a result, trying to determine them is frontier research in almost all fields of earth and planetary science.

Choose the accurate statements about how communication by the nervous and endocrine systems differs. Check all that apply. Check
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The nervous system releases neurotransmitters at synapses at specific target cells & The endocrine system reacts more slowly to stimuli, often taking seconds to days.

Explanation:

The nervous system is very specific with where the neurotransmitters go so they will affect target cells. The endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because the hormones travel through the blood so it takes much longer to reach the designated area.
