What experiment demonstrated the function of proteins that allow diffusion facilitated?

Biology

denpristay [2]3 years ago
5 0

The experiment by Peter Agre who discovered the protein Aquaporin demonstrated the function of proteins that allow facilitated diffusion of water.

Explanation:

Aquaporins are water channel proteins that facilitated diffusion of water. Agre was able to prove its function when a frog’s oocytes showed increased water permeability when an unknown protein (membranous) from the RBCs was introduced into them. The oocytes without proteins did not facilitate water diffusion.  

Aquaporins are membranous proteins that belong to larger intrinsic proteins but act as pores on the cellular membranes to facilitate water diffusion.

During which time period was Earth a ball of hot liquid?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Approximately 4.5 billion years ago (The Hadean Eon) .

Explanation:

The Geologic Timescale's "Hadean" era, named for Hades (Hell, well, we weren't feeling very imaginative that day), encompasses the Earth's origins. According to the evidence we currently have, the Earth's surface at that time was mostly made up of lava lakes and molten rock.

How would that appear? The first 500 Ma of Earth's history have left very little stuff behind. You may, however, take a peek at our moon, which similarly went through a lava lake period before freezing. You'll see that it has both dark and bright landscape.

The lighter material is known as highlands and is primarily composed of anorthosite. Anorthose, a kind of plagioclase feldspar, is the main component of the igneous rock known as anorthosite. According to what we know, the Moon too had a lava lake era. Liquid rocks exposed at the surface were cooling and fractionally crystallizing throughout this lengthy period. A certain order of minerals was developing. And these minerals were dividing up according to the density of the melt; less dense minerals, like plagioclase (Anorthose is a plagioclase), floated to the surface in a sort of incandescent crystal slush slurry and formed a sort of lid there. Denser minerals, like olivines, were sinking to the bottom of the lava lake to form cumulates. As the lava lakes cooled, anorthosite piled on top in successive layers, thickening the mass of floating crystals. Large meteor impacts occasionally pierced this anorthosite crust, and part of the thicker (and darker) underlying liquid accumulated in the ensuing craters to produce those roundish dark patches (Maria), which are now filled with basalt.

After the lava lakes froze/crystallized over, such characteristics were maintained since there was no significant tectonic activity on the Moon (except for the local meteor impacts which screw things up a bit).

The body can be invaded by pathogens , which are harmful microorganisms that cause infection diseases. The body then initiates a
pochemuha

Answer:The term "disease" refers to conditions that impair normal tissue function. For example, cystic fibrosis, atherosclerosis, and measles are all considered diseases. However, there are fundamentally different causes for each of these diseases. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is due to a specific genotype that results in impaired transport of chloride ions across cell membranes, leading to the production of abnormally thick mucus. Thus, CF is most accurately called a genetic or metabolic disease. Atherosclerosis, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes, may be considered a disease of aging, because it typically becomes a problem later in life after plaques of cholesterol have built up and partially blocked arteries. In contrast, measles is an infectious disease because it occurs when an individual contracts an outside agent, the measles virus. An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a host by agents whose activities harm the host's tissues (that is, they cause disease) and can be transmitted to other individuals (that is, they are infectious).
