For excitation-contraction coupling, which of the following is/are required? and Why?

Biology
1 answer:

6 0

a). Calcium ion and ATP

Explanation:

The excitation and contraction of the muscles takes place by Action potential  creation.

The muscle contraction is initiated when calcium ions binds to troponin. The binding of calcium with protein complex troponin changes the configuraton to  make actin sites active for ATP binding. This binding causes myosin to reach the state of high energy ( excitation), in which myosin head gets detach from the active site.

Which sequence best represents the relationship between DNA and the traits of an organism? A.DNA-mRNA-Protein-Amino Acid-Trait B
andrezito [222]

Answer:

D.DNA-mRNA-Amino Acid-Protein-Trait​

Explanation:

The relationship between DNA and the trait of an organism involves a process called GENE EXPRESSION. DNA is a molecule that contains information needed for the survival of an organism. However, this information must be expressed in order to be used.

The process of gene expression involves two major processes namely: transcription and translation. Transcription involves the synthesis of mRNA from DNA template while translation involves the synthesis of amino acid sequence from mRNA. The amino acid sequence encodes PROTEIN, which determines the TRAIT of an organism.

Based on this explanation, the correct sequence that best represents the relationship between DNA and the traits of an organism is: DNA-mRNA-Amino Acid-Protein-Trait​

Which of the following is NOT a function of an antibiotic?
eduard

Answer:

B. attacking the mitochondria, inhibiting the production of sugars that give the cell energy

Explanation:

Antibiotics can't attack on the mitochondria of the cell because mitochondria provides energy to the cell. Mitochondria is also known as power house of the cell means that it provides energy to the cell in order to continue its activities. If antibiotic attack on mitochondria of the cell, the cell has no energy for performing its activities that leads to cell death so that's why we can say that antibiotic can't attack on the mitochondria of the cell.

How do enzymatic catalysts increase the rates of reactions?
dsp73
For a reaction to occur, substrate particles need to collide with each other with enough force (To overcome activation energy), at the right orientation for a successful collision, causing a reaction to occur.

Enzyme catalysts are a type of protein that has a specific 3 dimensional conformation. They have specific reaction sites called active sites. Substrates collides with the enzyme and binds to the active site if it fits to the specific 3 dimensional conformation. This allows bonds to be either formed or broken for reactions to occur.

This process provides an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy to enable the rate of reaction to increase.
