A protein's shape is important because each protein has a specific action (or function) that it does, and it has to "fit" other molecules sometimes. For example, enzymes have active sites where the molucules bind to it. The active site is shaped to fit specific molecules. The enzyme sucrase only fits the sucrose molecule. Another example is hemoglobin, which does not have a nucleus because it functions as the carrying molecule for oxygen and needs the space for storage. Protein carrier molecules in cell membranes also have receptor sites that are shape specific to the molecule they are intended to transport.
A protein has 4 levels of structure and cannot funtion unless it has achieved the tertiary level.



1.some (most cases) protein acting as enzymes 2.some proteins help to maintain structural frame work (like virus core proteins)3.there are so many cannot generalize more,

why was it imporatnt for mendel to study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance
Elena L [17]
 I<span>t is important for Mendel to study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance because</span> higher sample size gives more accurate results.

>>>Mendel coined the terms “recessive” and “dominant<span>” in reference to certain traits.One best association to this is is his study about pea plants. According to him, green peas are recessive and yellow peas are dominant.</span>

Why do plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not
ad-work [718]
<h2>Mark me brianliest plz I really need it</h2>

Explanation:

<h2>In order to do photosynthesis, a plant needs sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water. Once the sugar is made through photosynthesis, it is then broken down by the mitochondria to make Page 2 energy for the cell. Because animals get sugar from the food they eat, they do not need chloroplasts: just mitochondria.</h2>

Why are thick or dense smears less likely to provide a good smear preparation for microscopic.
stira [4]

Thick or dense smears less likely to provide a good smear preparation for microscopic because it will diminish the amount of light that can pass through making it difficult to visualize the morphology of single cells under the microscope. Some times the stain can't penetrate all of the bacteria.

<h3 /><h3>What is a microscopic smear?</h3>
  • A smear is a microscopic specimen.
  • A swab or loop, or the edge of another slide, is used to spread the sample to be examined, such as blood or microbial culture, thinly and unevenly across the slide.
  • Smear preparation involves spreading a small amount of sample on a slide and air drying the film before staining and microscopy.
  • The conventional method, blood film method, drop and rest method, and water-wash method are the four types of smearing methods.
  • Smear microscopy entails collecting a biological sample (typically sputum or other clinical material), fixing it thinly on a glass slide, and staining it with a dye that binds specifically to mycobacteria (making them easier to identify under a microscope).
