Protein is made up of a sequence of amino acids. The shape of the protein is usually characterize by the sequence of amino acids present. The functionality of protein is based on its shape. The shape of the protein can be a primary, secondary and tertiary. Tertiary structure of the protein allows it to interact or bind with other molecule in a specific way to perform a specific task.

Answer:

Proteins are the biomolecule present inside the the living organisms. Proteins are made of the polymers of the amino acids that are linked together by peptide bond.

Proteins are biologically active in its 3D conformation and shape. The 3D shape of the protein is achieved by the proper sequence of the amino acids and its folding. Any change in 3D structure of the protein will result in the loss of biological activity of the protein because of the alteration in the amino acid sequence. The 3D shape of proteins is important as it helps the enzymes to work properly to carry out chemical reactions of the body.

Answer:

Decrease the effectiveness of this process.

Explanation:

Resistance emerges is an essential part of this process because this resistance causes decrease in the effectiveness of the drugs. If this resistance is not a part of this process, the microbes get resistance from the drugs which leads to lower the effectiveness of antimicrobial disease or infection so that's why resistance is considered as the essential part of this process of project.

Answer:

D) The virus has entered the genome of the bacterial cell and is in the lysogenic stage.

Explanation:

Virus have two reproductive cycle lytic and lysogenic cycles. In the lytic cycle, the viral genome is expressed using the host molecular machinery and make capsid proteins. These capsid proteins surround the viral genome and make new phages which lyse the host cell and gets released.

After the release, they enter their genome in other host and that genome first incorporates in the host genome and replicates with the host genome. This cycle is called the lysogenic cycle and in this cycle lysis of cell does take place because no new phages are produced in it.

Consider two cells: a stomach-lining epithelial cell dividing more than twice a day and a liver cell dividing every year or two.

dalvyx [7]

The correct answer is liver cell is likely to be in G0 phase.

Cells of inner lining of the stomach made of epithelial cells. They are protective in nature. They get damaged and need to be replaced through division. Whereas, liver is made of hepatocytes and once they reached maturity. These cells are not need to be replaced and cell cycle is generally in G0 stage. The G0 phase is a resting phase in the cell cycle. In this phase cells remain in a quiescent state because in G0 phase a cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide. G0 phase allows cells to become adapted for particular function. Hepatocytes may divide when there is removal of part of liver.
