Answer:
The events in chronological order are:
- Abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells
- Abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm
- Abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome.
- Ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides
- Protein synthesis halts in many tissues
- Multiple organ systems fail
- Victim dies
Explanation:
Abrin is a toxic protein obtained from the seeds of Abrus precatorius, it is highly toxic, with an estimated human fatal dose of 0.1-1 microgram/kg, and causes death after accidental and intentional poisoning.
When ingested the abrin would enter the victim's body and travel through the blood and eventually enter a cell's cytoplasm (abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells). Once there it would interact with the ribosomes and reacts with them on a molecular level (peptide bond catalytic enzyme) (abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm), which results in the ribosome exhibiting its toxic response to abrin (abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome). As a result of the ribosome reacting to abrin (ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides), protein synthesis within that cell is affected (protein synthesis halts in many tissues). Once multiple cells are affected by abrin the organ will exhibit its toxic response (multiple organ systems fail), and the victim would die.

Answer:
The pollen grain is creating a tube down the style of the flower. <u>It is necessary as that is how the pollen is able to travel down the style into the ovary where the baby seed is located. This is how the seed is fertilized, and is ready for reproduction.</u>
Answer:
What would happen if we didn't have subcutaneous fat?
Ans) For instance, while fat has been blamed for heart attacks, strokes,diabetes, and a host of other serious illnesses, researchers are finding that low fat levels may make us even more vulnerable to death from those conditions. In many studies, being overweight actually lowers morality from disease.
