The structure of the rye chloroplast DNA, which contains psbC gene coding for 43-kDa chlorophyll(a)-binding subunit of photosystem II, is determined. The sequence of trnS (UGA) gene encoding tRNA Ser is located at a distance of 140 bp downstream from the stop codon of psbC gene on the opposite DNA strand. The 5'-terminal part of psbC gene, like in other plants, overlaps by 50 bp the 3'-terminal region of psbD gene coding for D2 protein of photosystem II. The amino acid sequence of the psbC gene product reveals common features with the structure of the psbB gene product (CPa-1 protein). The structural similarity of these two proteins seems to reflect their similar functions.

5. The permease (transporter) allows glucose and Na into the cell requires ATP. True or False?

dem82 [27]

Answer: 5. False 6. False

Explanation: The permeases are membrane transport proteins, they're secondary active transporter that allow the movement of a specific molecule in or out of the cell in the direction of a concentration gradient, it is a form of facilitated diffusion and does not require energy. The permease secondary transporter uses the Na ion concentration to move glucose into the cell.

When the ion concentration gradient is set, the concentration of glucose in the cell is higher than the concentration of blood. Glucose will move to the blood by passive diffusion through permease secondary transporter.

The transport mechanism is carrier mediated it does not require energy.

Descibe how the muscle contracts and recharges starting with the release of Ca+ and ending with the cycle of recharging

Paul [167]

Answer:

Open channels allow an influx of sodium ions into the cytoplasm of the muscle fiber. The sodium influx also sends a message within the muscle fiber to trigger the release of stored calcium ions. The calcium ions diffuse into the muscle fiber.
