The Ras protein functions as a molecular switch that is set to its "on" state by other proteins that cause it to expel its bound

GDP and bind GTP. A GTPase-activating protein helps reset the switch to the "off" state by inducing Ras to hydrolyze its bound GTP to GDP much more rapidly than it would without this encouragement. Thus, Ras works like a light switch that one person turns on and another turns off. You are given a mutant cell that lacks the GTPase-activating protein. What abnormalities would you expect to find in the way in which Ras activity responds to extracellular signals?

Answer: Ras activity would be significantly slower in its response to extracellular signals.

Explanation:

• GTPase acts as a catalyst in converting RasGTP (active state) to RasGDP (inactive state)

• A mutant lacking the GTPase activating protein cannot activate GTPase so thee will nit be any functional GTPase

• if GTPase is not present then RasGTP may be expdessed for longer periods of time and there will be a lag until it eventually switches "off)

Why is it necessary to have a constant input of energy into an ecosystem?
IrinaK [193]
If there was not a constant Input of energy into the ecosystem then nothing would have the power to do anything and nothing would be alive. the energy starts with the sun, then goes to plants, then animals that eat the plants, and then the animals that eat those animals, Ect. if this chain reaction did not happen then the plants wouldn't have to power to go through photosynthesis and then we would get no energy. the amount of energy lessen with every chain that it goes through, this is why we get more energy eating plants and why they are healthier.

Why dose the amount of water in a river change during the year
Marizza181 [45]
Hello! 
The amount of water in a river varies for each particular area. Whether the area has been receiving rainfall or a drought. 
Seasons also play a role; if it's Spring, you may receive more rainfall and have a higher water levels. If it's Summer, you may experience a drought, causing lower water levels.
Although that was not very much information, I thought I'd provide a small bit of information. Hope it helps. :)
