He needs to know if the disorder occurs in the members of family (it would suggest genetic cause of a disease) or in housemates/colleagues from work (it would suggest environmental cause if sick people share the environment)

What is a ligand? what do ligands have to do with receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Volgvan
In biochemistry, aligand is a substance that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve abiological purpose. In protein-ligandbinding, the ligand is usually a molecule which produces a signal by binding to a site on a target protein.

Receptor mediated endocytosis is an endocytotic mechanism in which specific molecules are ingested into the cell. The specificity results from a receptor-ligand interaction. Receptors on the plasma membrane of the target tissue will specifically bind to ligands on the outside of the cell. An endocytotic process occurs and the ligand is ingested.

A very well studied example of receptor mediated endocytosis involves the metabolism of cholesterol.

How to zoos affect the nitrogen cycle
SpyIntel [72]
<span>As humans change the way we live on the planet, the way that nitrogen moves around the Earth also changes. Nitrogen atoms may seem small enough to be easily overlooked. We look right through the ones in the air, do we not? Yet recent changes in the nitrogen cycle are causing a very noticeable effect on natural environments and human health. Lakes are clogged with aquatic weeds. Dead zones have formed in areas of the oceans where animals can not survive. Air pollutants that contain nitrogen are decreasing air quality and greenhouse gases that contain nitrogen are becoming more common.</span>

The salinity of a body of water suddenly starts increasing. A chemist believes that upstream contaminants are polluting the lake
Kryger [21]
The reason both of these are valid scientific hypotheses is because A) scientists with different educational backgrounds may put forth different hypotheses to explain the same data.
This approach in science is vital in making progress and has helped to explain many phenomena in the past. When scientists explain data using different approaches, they come to a more comprehensive conclusion.

Which of the following events normally activates a GTP-binding protein?a).GTP hydrolysis by the protein Activation of an upstrea
olya-2409 [2.1K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

b). Activation of an upstream guanine nucleotide exchange factor

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>When a ligand activates the G protein-coupled receptor, it induces a conformational change in the receptor that allows the receptor to function as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that exchanges GDP for GTPthus turning the G protein-coupled receptor on.</u></em>
  • The activated G-protein then dissociates into an alpha (G-alpha) and a beta-gamma complex.
