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)

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The answer is C) un-contested, appropriating

Explanation:

Although Darwinian ideas are purely biological and scientific, they have aided theoretical research in other sciences as well, psychology, in particular. The theory of evolution does not only explain the evolution of the human body, but also that of the brain. The brain's psychological mechanisms and the behaviors they produce can largely be understood through Darwin's theories; the theories of natural and sexual selection have directed much of psychological research.

In general, scientists accept Darwin's theories but in specific fields, such as social psychology and neuroscience, scientists have formulated surprising explanations using Darwinian ideas.

Are all introduced species invasive?
tatyana61 [14]
What is an invasive species? they are plants/fungi/animals that isn't native to a specific area (an introduced species). They have the tendency to spread and cause damage too the environment, human economy, and/or human health. The Answer to your question is No. Not every species that is introduced to a specific area is invasive. The introduced species might have a natural predator that might eat it. The species may even be biologically, chemically, or mechanically controlled. I hope this helps you out:)

The Krebs cycle sustains itself as long as ___________ & ____________ are present
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Oxygen and pyruvate.

Explanation:

The krebs cycle is a stage of cellular respiration and occurs in aerobic organisms. In this case, we can say that the Krebs Cycle only occurs in the presence of oxygen, being essential for the completion of cell respiration.

The Krebs cycle only occurs after the completion of glycolysis, as it needs to be initiated by pyruvate, which is a molecule resulting from glycolysis. In this case, in addition to oxygen, the presence of pyruvate is essential for the krebs cycle to occur.
