How is a cesium gradient used to separate dna with different densities?

Biology
1 answer:
Romashka [77]2 years ago
3 0

Cesium is used in the separation of DNA with different densities. Cesium chloride (CsCl) acts as a density gradient for the separation of the DNA (Deoxy ribonucleic acid), and is used in gradient centrifugation.

CsCl density centrifugation:

  • CaCl solution is kept in the centrifuge tube along with the DNA sample to be separated.
  • The centrifugation causes the solutions to form bands with the denser part at the bottom and the least denser part at the top.
  • The DNA with its density similar to a particular layer of CsCl solution density forms a band in that layer.

The __________ is the fatty substance that insulates and protects the axon. A. Cell body B. Axon terminal C. Neural receptor D.
inysia [295]

The fatty substance that insulates and protects the axon is myelin sheath. That is option D.

<h3>The nerve cells (neuron)</h3>

The nervous system is made up of nerve cells that helps to send and receive signals that are interpreted by the brain.

The parts of the nerve cell include the following:

  • the dendrites,

  • the cell body,

  • the axon and

  • the axon terminal.

The axon is part of the nerve cell that transmits electrical signals. it is surrounded by myelin sheath.

The myelin sheath is a fatty layer that insulates the axon and helps it transmit signals over long distances.

Therefore, the fatty substance that insulates and protects the axon is myelin sheath.

when non-nerve cells become involved in response to signals, which type of receptor goes into action? (A) intracellular receptor
Musya8 [376]

The correct answer is:

(D) enzyme linked receptor

When non-nerve cells become involved in response to signals, the type of receptor that goes into action is the enzyme linked receptor.

Explanation:

An enzyme-linked receptor, also identified as a catalytic receptor, is a trans -membrane receptor, where the adhesive of an extracellular ligand produces an enzymatic action on the intracellular side. Hence a catalytic receptor is an integral membrane protein containing both enzymatic catalytic and receptor functions.

The complicated molecules that make up living things usually contain carbon. Why is carbon so important in this molescules?
Alexxandr [17]
Answer and explanation;
Carbon is so important in the formation of complicated molecules in that;
-Carbon can form up to four  covalent bonds, and it can form reasonably strong bonds with nitrogen, oxygen, and other different types of atoms.
-Carbon also has an almost unique ability to form long chains with <span>C−C</span> linkages, and along the chain there can be regions of different reactivity.<span> 
Also </span><span>C−C</span><span> bond is unaffected by water, and therefore, if for example a cell, can be isolated from the aqueous medium.</span>
