The statements are true.

Hemoglobin (Hb), is the oxygen-transport metalloprotein which contains iron in the centre of its structure. This metalloprotein is found in the red blood cells (erythrocytes). The function of hemoglobin is to transport the oxygen through the blood carries from the lungs to the rest of the tissues. Oxygen is necessary for the aerobic respiration in order to provide energy for the functions of the organism (metabolism).

What might be some challenges of working in a forensic biology lab?
OleMash [197]

Answer/Explanation:

  • You would have to be very careful of cross-contamination. That means you would have to work very carefully and precisely with protective clothing, ensuring that none of your DNA (from skin or hair or even trace) gets into the sample you are working with
  • You would have to be very careful to check and record samples properly to ensure nothing got mixed up or mislabeled and this could be disastrous for criminal cases
  • All the material is very precious and sometimes only one sample exists, so you have to avoid making any mistakes. Experiments can't always be repeated.

Each of the proteins involved in DNA replication plays an important role. If one of these proteins was not functional it would h
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Topoisomerase is an enzyme helps in over winding Or underwinding of DNA during replication. Helps in the topological correction. So non-functional topoisomerase leads to tangled DNA and prevents replication..

2. Primases are the enzymes helps in the synthesis of short RNA sequences used as primers in replication. Non functional primase leads to no primer synthesis.  

3. DNA Polymerase is an enzyme helps in the addition of new nucleotide to the growing strand in replication. Non functional DNA polymerase prevents the strand growing as no new nucleotides were added.  

4. Helicases are the enzymes helps in the separation of double strands into single and helps in each strand to be copied. Non functional helicase leads to prevention of unwinding of strands and replication inhibition.  

5. ligase is an enzyme that joins nicks(small gaps) in the DNA strand by creating ester bond. Non functional ligase leads to unjointed gaps of lagging strand.  

6. Single strand binding proteins(SSB's) are the small proteins that binds to the single strands of DNA and holds them in a place not to get together while replicating. Non functional SSB's leads to parental strands come back together and prevents replication.

Can a catalyst be used over and over again?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Yes they can because the catalyst does not take part in the chemical reaction and remains unchanged after the reaction has ended.  Biological catalysts are known to be recycled by the bodies in which they work.
