Answer: Ligand gated channel
Explanation:
Ligand gated channel is an essential membrane protein that has pores and allows the passage of specific ions across the plasma membrane when it is activated by a specific chemical . Examples of such ions that pass through Ligand gated channels are Sodium ions, Potassium ions, Calcium ions. Ligand gated channels are found in extensions of the nerve cells.
The correct answer is A) Encoding genetic information
Answer:
The correct answer is photosphere.
Explanation:
Visible light comes from the layer known as the photosphere.
The Sun's photosphere is the layer that emits visible light. The Sun's atmosphere has seven layers: The core, or the Sun's interior. The radiative zone. The convective zone. The photosphere or the visible surface. The Chromosphere. And the corona, the outermost layer.
Answer:
Explanation: Wind is a type of dry deposition method. If original soil is erodable and wind exists, soil particles move via wind (sometimes it is called dust transport) and finally are deposited at final destination regions/areas. However, water erosion occurs when rainfall or hail occurs.
Explanation:
Replacing lysine with aspartic acid is really a change in the primary structure (the sequence of the amino acids - think in a chain). But because they are really different amino acids, the effect is much more profound and will affect the tertiary structure of the protein.
Lysine has a basic, positively charged side chain. Aspartic acid has a negatively charged carboxyl group for its side chain. So, they are two very different amino acids.
Since the tertiary structure of a protein is a result of the interactions of the various interactions of the amino acid side chains, you have to think about what a swap of a basic positive amino acid with a negatively charged amino acid could cause.
For example, if the lysine side chain interacted in ionic interactions (i.e. attraction to a negatively charged amino acid), if you swap it for aspartic acid which is negatively charged it will now repel the other amino acid's side chain and that would disrupt the tertiary structure of the protein. It would also likely cause disruption to the quaternary structure as well.
If this change was in an important part of the protein (e.g. the active site of an enzyme) then it would likely disrupt the proper functioning of this protein.
If you wanted to make the least amount of change to a protein by making a mutation to that lysine amino acid, you would choose other basic amino acids which are histidine and arginine.
