Amyloid fibrils are associated with many fatal degenerative diseases of humans and livestock. Livestock diseases such as scrapie
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

a. Amyloid fibrils have a high amount of β-sheet structure.

c. Because most newly synthesized proteins fold correctly, the accumulation of misfolded proteins (or fragments) tends to occur slowly, thus explaining the slow onset of disease.

e. Proteins that form amyloid fibrils are normally soluble.

Explanation:

Amyloids can be defined as fibrillar protein aggregates composed of a β-sheet secondary structure. In general, the amyloid fibrils are composed by soluble proteins that are assembled to form insoluble resistant to degradation fibers. In humans, defective amyloid proteins produced by misfolding are known to produce diseases (amyloidosis) capable of altering the function of tissues and organs. Systemic forms of amyloidosis are common in neurodegenerative disorders.

Do Different cell types also have special duties, like building skin or bone, pumping out hormones, or making anti-bodies.
Schach [20]

Answer:

Yes, different cell types also have special duties, like building skin or bone, pumping out hormones, or making anti-bodies.

Explanation:

Cell is the basis structural and functional unit of a living organism. The body of a human is composed of trillions of cells that are organized in around 200 types of cells.

<u>A tissue is simply a group of specific kind of cell that have  a specific role.</u>

  • For example: The nervous system contains cells called neurons that have ability to transmit message from one place to another and allow us to respond to any environmental stimuli, such as heat, cold, danger etc.
  • Skin cell is composed of cells that have a role in protecting the body against the attack of harmful microbes. They also protect have role in building new skin cells and adding the protection to our body.
  • Blood cells have a role in providing us immunity (for example white blood cells) therefore, make us better able to protect ourselves from danger of diseases.
  • Muscle cells help us in moving our organs as well as allowing the whole movement from one place to another.

Thus we see that different types of cells have special functions and all these different cells coordinate with each other to make an organized and functioning body of a living organism.

Why are carbon atoms so common in living things? Include the term carbon skeleton in your answer.
aliya0001 [1]
The main reason why carbon atoms are so common in living things is because carbon is a very adaptable element in the sense that its electron configuration allows it to bond with many other atoms.
