Answer:
The correct answer would be "Myosin heads attach to sites on actin filaments".
The muscle cell or myofibril consists of two types of protein filaments namely; actin (thin filament) and myosin (thick filament).
The myosin heads attach to the binding sites on the actin filaments and pull it towards the M-line in order to produce contraction.
The hydrolysis of ATP provides energy for this contraction cycle.
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Among the organic macromolecules , enzymes belong in the category of proteins. Proteins are distinct from carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids in that a protein is made of amino acids. Amino acids link together into a chain that can fold into a three-dimensional shape.
Answer:
Sarah should add 19 grams of protein to her diet if she gets pregnant.
Explanation:
Daily protein requirements = body weight in x conversion factor
Pregnant women= 1.1g/kg prepregnancy body weight
Sarah's prepregnancy weight= 132 pound
Sarah should add about 19 grams of protein to her diet to account for the higher protein requirements of pregnancy. That’s only about 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Pregnancy might be the time to switch to these “twice the protein” products.
Answer:
there is no amino acid sequence because the mRNA doesnt have the start codon (AUG).
Answer:
D) the arrangement of the nucleotides within genes
Explanation:
De-oxy ribo nucleic acid that is basically a polymer of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of three basic units: a de-oxyribose sugar unit, a phosphate group and nitrogenous bases that can be Adenine, Gunanine, Thymine and Cytosine.Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.
This is a universal composition of DNA in each and every living organism. The genes are a segment of DNA that contain specific sequence of nucleotides and encode for a specific trait of organism such as height, weight, eye color etc. The sequence of nucleotides expresses the trait in the form of protein product during the process of Translation. The products of translation are amino acids and every amino acids encode for a specific protein in almost all living organisms.
So, what differs in the specie is the sequence of nucleotides in genes. Infact this is the nucleotide sequence which brings evolution in organism and organisms evolve to form new specie with the passage of time. One major cause of change in nucleotide sequence is mutations due to which the organisms change with time.
Suppose the sequence of nucleotide of specific gene in organism A is
AAGGGGAAATTT
However in other specie organism B of same specie is:
TAGGGGAAATTT
This means only mutation of one base changed the gene in organism B and also its product called protein.
Hope it help!
