Describe the process by which proteins are deliberately destroyed by the eukarioticcells.

1 answer:

7 0

Proteolysis is the process in which proteins are destroyed in eukaryotic cells. Lysosome plays an important role in protein degradation. During starvation, the long lived proteins are being destroyed for the source of energy.

If the protein degradation is not aided by lysosome then there is another pathway for degradation of proteins in eukaryotes and is Ubiquitin based degradation. Protein degradation also occurs if a faulty protein is been formed to eliminate the consequence of the protein formed by mistake.

The ATP synthase can be thought of as a type of molecule motor that is powered by the flow of ____________ through the subunits

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The ATP synthase can be thought of as a type of molecule motor that is powered by the flow of __H+_ through the subunits and __down_ their concentration gradient.

Explanation:

There are two steps for the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants; one is light reaction and other is dark reaction. In light reaction the ATP and NADPH are produced from sunlight and these molecules are utilized for combining the carbon molecules in dark reaction.

Before we discuss chemiosmosis (Mechanism of ATP production) we should know that light reaction takes place in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast. During the light reaction electrons removed from water are excited by light in photosystem I and photosystem II. These excited electron release the energy while traveling down the electron transport chain which is utilized to pump the H+ ions to stroma from lumen. This build a concentration difference of H+ ions across the membrane.

So when these H+ ions flow from stroma to lumen i.e. higher potential to lower potential they passes through ATP synthase complex. ATP synthase produces the ATP by the phosphorylation of ADP that why mechanism is also referred as Photophosphorylation.

if you analyze the sequences of the two copies of any of the chromosomes shown in the karyotype, there would be slight sequence

Tema [17]

Answer:

Each homologous chromosome in a pair is from a different parent. First-division nondisjunction will only yield gametes with an extra chromosome, whereas second-division nondisjunction will only yield gametes missing a chromosome.

is a protein found in blood that is represented by a + or – sign, which affects the compatibility of blood with other blood type

Tema [17]

Answer:

Yes, the protein is found on the surface of the red blood cell which is represented by a positive or negative sign.

It is termed as Rh factor.

Rh factor refers to the class of antigen or protein found on the red blood cell.

If the protein is present, then the person is said to be Rh positive and when the protein is absent the person is said to be Rh negative.
