Answer:
For our bodies the conversion from food energy to ATP happens in mitochondria. If your mitochondria are not working properly then you are less able to convert food into ATP. For cells that require a lot of ATP, for example your muscles, this is a problem and they may become weaker and get tired faster.

Answer:
A geneticist has devised a strategy to study protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in yeast cells. She is interested in two different signal sequences that are thought to operate via slightly different translocation mechanisms. Using genetic engineering, she has fused the first signal sequence to a protein whose cytosolic expression is absolutely necessary for cell survival in the selective medium, but is inactive when in the ER. In the same cell, she has also fused the second signal sequence to a toxic protein whose cytosolic expression leads to cell lysis but is harmless when in the ER. Whereas wild-type cells undergo lysis upon the expression of these fusion proteins, she has been able to identify viable mutants, each of which has a loss-of-function mutation in a gene encoding a protein involved in membrane translocation. The products of these genes are probably ...
Explanation:
Involved in the transport of proteins with the first signal sequence but not the second one.
Answer:
i) Rusting occurs the least in tubes 2 and 3 because either of air and water which are necessary for rusting is absent in the two tubes respectively.
ii) Rusting occurs most in tube 1 because both air and water which are necessary for rusting are present.
Explanation:
Rusting is a chemical change which involves a redox reaction. During the process of rusting, metallic iron is oxidized to hydrated iron (iii) oxide by oxygen present in air.
For rusting to take place effectively, each of these three factors mist be available: metallic iron, oxygen and water.
In the figure above, the iron nails in the three tester tubes will rust to different extents based on the availability of the three factors.
In test tube 1, the iron nails will rust the most because all the three factors: metallic iron, oxygen present in air, and water are abundantly present.
In test tube 2, the iron nails will rust the least or not at all because boiling of water removes dissolved oxygen from water and the oil layer above the boiled water prevents entry of oxygen from air. Thus, the nail do not rust because one of the three factors for rusting to take place, in this instance, oxygen is absent.
In test tube 3, the iron nails rusts the least or not at all as well because moisture or water is absent. Calcium chloride, a drying agent removes all the moisture from inside the tube. Hence, even though air is present, rusting do not occur as there is no moisture or water present.
Answer:
B) All DNA molecules will migrate up the gel toward the positive electrode.
Explanation:
Because the DNA has a negative charge - regardless the size-, all DNA molecules will migrate towards the positive electrode, at the top of the gel. This is due to the Coulomb's physic law "force of the interaction between the charges is attractive if the charges have opposite signs".
Instead of migrate down the gel , the DNA will do migrate up the gel (opposite direction).
In an experiment, that subjected participants to increasing isolation in a computerized ball-tossing game, fMRI scans showed activity in the cingulate cortex, a region of the brain that is active during EMOTIONAL PAIN.
Cingulate cortex is the limbic lobe involved in emotion formation, memory, learning, problem solving and self control.
