Suppose that a glutamine residue in the active site of an enzyme was mutated to alanine. As expected, the alanine mutant was ina

ctive, suggesting that the glutamine residue was critical to the catalytic mechanism. Which mutation is most likely to restore wild-type level of activity to the alanine mutant?

Answer:

A to N

Explanation:

Glutamine is an amino acid with a polar, uncharged side chain. The mutation to alanine, an amino acid with a non-polar side chain, completely affects the enzymatic activity. This makes sense considering the difference in the nature of both amino acids.

To restore the wild-type level of activity the alanine would have to mutate to another polar uncharged amino acid. Among the given options, only Asparagine (N) has a similar chemistry to Glutamine.

The rain forests of the world trap a large amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Every year, however, more rain forest is
IrinaVladis [17]

Carbondioxide, being a green house gas has the property of trapping the heat from the sunlight and thus increasing the temperature of the place. As more and more rain forests are cut down and burned, there is an increase in this green house gas in the atmosphere thus leading to a steady increase in the temperatures.

As we look at the graphs that are given, we can see that the graph C shows the steady increase in the temperature as the time passes. Hence option C is the right answer

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a. commensalism is the correct answer.

Explanation:

By growing on the trunk or branch of a tree, a lichen gains height and exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis. The tree is not harmed by the lichen but does not benefit either. The relationship between the lichen and the tree is commensalism.

Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms where one organism gets benefits from other organisms without causing any harm or any damage from the relation as it one side symbiotic relation.

In this, we can see lichen is getting benefits from the tree.

for example, lichen is getting following benefits from the tree such as ( a lichen gains height and exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis.) and they are causing any harm to tree neither any benefits so this is a one-side symbiotic relation and thus the relationship is an example of commensalism.

If a microbe were capable of preventing a phagosome from fusing with a lysosome, it means that
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Possible options are:

a. the microbe would survive inside the phagocyte

b. the microbe would be expelled from the residual body

c. the microbe would be killed by the lysosome's enzymes

d. the microbe would cause the phagocyte to go through apoptosis

Answer is A

Explanation:

If microbe were capable of preventing a phagosome from fusing with a lysosomes it means microbes would survive inside phagocyte.The bacteria survive inside of phagosomes because they prevent the discharge of lysosomal contents into the phagosome environment. Specifically, phagolysosome formation is inhibited in the phagocyte.
