Answer:

Detergents are knows as a class of molecules whose having unique properties to enable formation of hydrophobic-hydrophilic interaction among molecules in membrane. This unique property of detergents are used to dissolve membrane protein in water solution or in any solution.

Detergents are used to lyse cells, solubilize membrane lipids, and proteins, prevent protein crystalization, and nonspecific binding.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Water pollution may be defined as the contamination of the unwanted substance or pollutant with water that changes the normal characteristics of water. Three main contributors of ground water are as follows:

Chemical farming: The use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields and its direct run off in river and groundwater causes the water pollution.

Industrial waste: The industrial waste consists of harmful chemicals and heavy metals. The direct discharge of chemical waste in the lakes, ground water and ponds makes the water dirty and causes water pollution.

Effluent from waste water treatment plant: The effluent and the harmful chemical waste release from the waste water treatment plant is the major contributor to the ground water. The effluents mix with the ground water and changes the ground water property.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Cancer is basically a disease of uncontrolled cell division. Its development and progression are usually linked to a series of changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators. For example, inhibitors of the cell cycle keep cells from dividing when conditions aren’t right, so too little activity of these inhibitors can promote cancer. Similarly, positive regulators of cell division can lead to cancer if they are too active. In most cases, these changes in activity are due to mutations in the genes that encode cell cycle regulator proteins.
